This Weekends Treasures

I had the best weekend ever! This weekend was the "World's Largest Garage Sale" in Duncan, OK, plus I went to my very first auction, then I went shopping in the gargage of a lady who inherited all of the antiques in her grandmother's bed and breakfast. Awesome! I bought this cute roll top desk and chair for $40 and these cute tea cups I am going to attach to posts to put out in the garden to double as garden decor / bird feeders.

Not only was it fun to hunt around at all the sales in Duncan but it was fun to be with my girl friends and have a little road trip (I am a stay at home mom and especially during the summer; time without kids is few and far between). I am always looking for citywide garage sales so if your town is having one please let me know. Auctions are great for finding deals too. I was really into it, I should have been tired after running around garage sales all day with no sleep but it was just to cool. I got a brass tray and 3 craft books for $3!

Ok, ok, so I know that some people don't share my love of junk hunting at garage sales, however, I have something for you too. I was shopping the end of season sales at Hobby Lobby and they had whole rows that were 80% and 90% off. I got the cutest lamp (pictured) originally $100 for $10 (the picture doesn't do it justice because it's not hanging up yet). I also got a birdhouse for $2 and a decorative pillow for $3.

I haven't pictured a lot of the things that I got this weekend because I will be revamping and reviving them to sell at my trash to treasure sale at the Big Foot festival......so stay tuned.

PS: For all of those who are like me and don't think about entering into any of the state fair contest until you are at the state fair this is your reminder. If you go to their website they have all the listing for all of the contests and there are a lot. Just seach Oklahoma State Fair and it will bring up the website.
