I wasn't sure if I was going to go out to the sales this weekend. One, it was HOT - like above 86 at 7am and projected to get to over 100 by mid day. Two, it started raining at like 7:30 which made me reconsider the trip even more. But by 9:30 it had cleared up and I was itching to get out. Plus, I had to go to the grocery store anyways. So my plan was to stop at any yard sale I saw between the house and the grocery store. And the plan worked! Check out my finds!
The first stop was one that I had run by the signs for on Friday morning, so I was looking forward to stopping by and checking it out. I really wish it hadn't rained because they had some pretty frames for a $1 a piece but the mats were ruined and I wasn't up to having to get 11x14 mats to replace them. But I did find some other fun treasures.
First up, I got this pitcher for just 50 cents. Yep - it is ugly as sin with those sunflowers. (My apologies if you love sunflowers!) But not to worry - that's nothing a little spray paint can't fix! Want to see the results? Click over to see my new "Heirloom" Vase!
Next up I found this classic wide low bowl. Nice white with just a touch of glaze. For $1 I was sold. See it in my Living Room Update.
Finally - I found this shabby chic wire basket. I thought it would be perfect for some decorative grapevine balls I picked up at a yard sale about a month ago. I love the finish. And for $4 - it was a keeper! Check it out in my TV Stand Vignette!
I left there and hit up a couple more. The last one I stopped at had a beautiful rug that would have been perfect for the guest room - but it had gotten rained on so I didn't want to risk it. Instead - I picked up this pair of crackled glass votive holders for $3. I think these are going to look perfect in my bathroom on the vanity!
So what about you? Find anything fun this weekend?

I love everything you found! I'm not a sunflower person either so bring on that spray paint for that pitcher! :) That basket is great and I bet you could decorate it in different ways based on the season.
