sweet finds

so i had been desperately wanting to go "garage-sale-ing" this whole summer, but it seemed like i never got around to it. so this week i did my research, and found about eight garage sales going on in layton.
i was stoked.
my neighbor wanted to come with me. we planned to leave at 7:30. well when i get up at seven and i am getting my hair into my pony, getting reese's diaper bag together, i get a text from her. "it's raining", i tell her "i am still going" and if she wants to, she is still welcome to come.
come she did and we were both so happy we decided to brave the rain. here are some of my fantastic finds:


$1
tin measuring cups.
we had these when i was little and they are hard to find.

$4
antique glasses.
and that was for 2 pairs
just like going to america's best!


$8
kids dresser
broyhill brand, totally trashed but good bones.
i think it will become tiffany turquiose with some antiquing
to hold my craft stuff

i bet you are wondering what this is....


what's so ideal about it....

$5
this gorgeous creature is an old wash basin!
the top comes off and it has two sinks, one for washing and one for rinsing.
i am thinking of painting it a butter cream yellow and using it to store fabric and other sewing stuff.
(notice the awesome green pitcher and salad bowl, $3 for the set)




and then there is this little guy. he is going to be my sewing chair.. white perhaps???
he was a buck!

$19 dollars people!
and something to keep me busy and happy!
