~Rummage Sale This Morning!~

A busy morning is what I had...I had Sydney and Alex to put off to school, feed them breakfast, remind them to brush their teeth, brush Alex's hair. I had to have Sydney to school by 8:50 and Alex to hers by 9:30 sharp as she was going on a field trip! So after I dropped Sydney off I noticed a church on the way to the school was having a rummage sale and I thought hmmmmm I have to stop there after dropping Alex off:)

This is what I found and all for $5.45...a Santa cookie cutter for .5, two Little House on the Prairie books for .10 a piece for Sydney. For Alex and Samantha two story books for .10 a piece also two books for me:) I found the quilted placemat that everything is laying on for .10 I'll use it on my table outside for the summer:) Next the electric pineapple candle which is brass but should I just paint it black to update it? Also the pineapple wooden spoon:) Loved the flag tile for .60 don't know what I'll do with it yet though. The most I paid is for the cross stitch which was $2.50 they had a whole table full of cross stitched items but I like this one the best.
Here is a better pic of it which I'll coffee dye and frame in black for a shelf sitter it's very small.


Also found a 100% wool jacket, creme colored for .50 to cut up for a pennys:0

Well, I have to run time to pick up Alex...have a wonderful weekend!

  4. Great finds Rondell,
    I like church rummage sales. Always a lot to look at and go through. I noticed we were having some yard sales around me today, but I didn't get a chance to go to them. Looking forward to the weeks ahead!

  10. Great stuff! I had that pineapple candle light at one time. Brass is colonial but pewter is more colonial. Maybe you could find that kind of spray paint sometime.

    Have fun painting your birthday present!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend, it's supposed to be nice here again tomorrow and then change back by Sunday. At this point, I'll take whatever I can get! Dawn

  17. Hi Rondell,
    Great finds that you got at the rummage sale. I want to a basement sale yesterday...I had never heard of that before, but it was a good sale...just in the basement instead of the garage.
    Love the pineapple candle.
    hugs, Cindy

  21. You found some great items, Rondell. I just love Little House on the Prairie and those were some of my favorite books to read to my dd when she was little.
    I also can't wait to see the finished pictures of your step back cupboard. It's going to look great and don't worry, you're not going to ruin it! There's no such things as mistakes, just opportunities to make it more prim. :)
    I just refinished my batroom vanity and posted pic's if you want to see.
    Hugs & blessings to you~ Birgit

  22. Wow Rondell! You found some great stuff! I'd love to find a sale like that around here.
    The cupboard Stush made for you is simply awesome! However you paint it, I'm sure it will look great.
    Can't wait to see it finished and primmed up.
    Sorry I haven't visited in a while. Our first farmers mkt. is May 2nd, and we've been so busy.
    Take care!

  23. Thank you for the kind words about our old house. Sure looking forward to making some changes in the near future - starting with those kitchen cupboards! I always love to see what you find at the thrift shops, there aren't any close to me! Just waiting for garage sales to get going around here. Have a great day! Dawn
