Garage sale finds and a peek…

1:22 am by kim 11 Comments

Hey everyone!
I hope you’re all enjoying the beautiful spring weather!
It’s been lovely here in Southern Ontario and May always jumpstarts the
beginning of the garage sale season for us.
I wanted to share a couple of my recent garage sale finds and show you a peek of some changes
I’ve made in the breakfast nook.

I really enjoy the Saturday morning ritual of waking early, getting my Tim’s coffee and
hitting the road to find those one of a kind bargains!
I’m careful to make sure I only take home things I absolutely love, absolutely need or that
“deal of a lifetime” lol.

I recently found this great white slip-covered bench which cost me all of $5!
It goes great at the bottom of my daughter’s bed and she’s been using it to store
her extra blankets and pillows.

Another favourite find are these PB look-alike mercury glass balls.
They have holes in the bottoms where you can place little battery operated lights inside.
They’re on my mantel right now but I can easily see them on the table in the backyard all lit up for the evenings.
They cost me $1 each which was considerably cheaper than what PB was selling them for!
 

Here is a peek of a few low-cost changes I’ve made in the breakfast nook.

I’ll be sharing what I did in the breakfast nook in an upcoming post.

Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see ya soon!

    Looks like you got some great things! That bench was quite a steal and I really like the mercury glass. However, the shelf is my favorite picture. It's so pretty!

    Oooohh – I'm hooked already!! $5 for that gorgeous bench? Wowzer – please point me in the direction of that particular stallholder – that's AMAZING! Love your mercury balls too – and the kitchen shelves, in fact, before I use up too much space, let's just say that i love it ALL – you have great style, and I'm looking forward to having a long read through your previous posts!
    Best wishes from the UK.

    Wow that bench was a steal for $5!

    I had Tim's coffee once or twice when we visited Canada from Atlanta. 🙂 You just brought back some memories for me.

    Love your curtains in the breakfast nook. Do you mind sharing where they came from?
