I really didn't mean to. I didn't go there with that intention, especially with what I bought last weekend in The Dells and Prairie Du Chien, but there was just so much goodness that I saw potential to remake. Note to self: Never get the shopping cart. Ever.
Last week, I talked about possibly doing a linky party for my Friday's Finds, if I could ever figure out how to do it. And yesterday on my Facebook Page I said I was going to do it. Well, I can't. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong, but the code won't paste and when I hand type it in, it doesn't work. I'm doing everything right: Made the code, pasting it in in the Edit HTML tab... Still nada. :( I've been trying all morning and its still not working. GRRRRRRR! How frustrating! If anyone can be of any help, please e-mail and help a sista out!
Okay, moving on... MY Friday's Finds:
$1.50 for these two beauties that will soon be getting some spray paint lovin'. |
Another little grapevine wreath for $1.00 plus an old patio stone that was my Dad's that I found out in the pump house. Crocheted table runner: $7.50 |
Gold picture frame given a face-life with some white spray paint. $0.50 Yep, that's me circa 1979. Olan Mills at its finest. :) |
Platter: $2.00 |
Metal Sleigh is going Silver or White: $15.00 |
Heavy Wooden Frame. The painting has GOT to go. $5.00 |
Mirror Window Frame: $5.00 Getting some paint and distressing/Mirror is getting aged. |
Craft Goodies: $0.50 each |
And I've already done this with the string:
And MY favorite find:
Vintage Chair: $27.50 Foot stool: $7.50 And that's one of our kitties, Lucy, taking a nap. |
And I get to try my hand at reupholstering. Wish me luck! And the stool? Yeah. Pleather. Lovely. Recovering that one too. With some shabby paint, they're going to look FAB! |
Okay... WHEW! Quite a haul, huh? I would have loved to have seen your finds, but blogger must hate me. :P If anyone could help me figure out how to host a linky party, I'd really, really appreciate it!
Have a super weekend, y'all!

Love the chair! I'm in serious need of a shopping day. Maybe this will inspire me to fit it in this weekend. More playoffs...
I love finding unique, old, Christmas decor at antique shops. It reminds me of my childhood. :) I'm starting a link party in January. Haven't figured it out yet though.
Have a good weekend!
OOOOHHHH, you found some awesome stuff. I love, love that big chunky frame! I could totally see it turned into a chalkboard. You totally scored. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hopefully since it's raining here, I can get some crafting projects done. I've got Christmas on my brain :)
Love that sleigh ... trying to decide what I'm doing with the decorating for Christmas regarding the outside. No luck so far.

You're a nut. ;) Glad you found a chair though. Hope you enjoyed your 'ritas!
I loved figuring out how to reupholster my free CraigsList chair! Your find will end up beautiful. Have fun! :)
