Garage Sale Loot #2

Check out my first garage sale post here

I admit it, I have a problem. But hey, when I'm driving down the street and an insane number of garage sales going on, I'm going to look around, haha! Coffee in hand, I explored a couple sales and came back with some new treasures. Check it out:

My loot from a morning well-spent!

I grabbed a new pillow for my sadly-barren window seat and the Shirley Temple book for $5 (she wanted $8, and I was like, "Hell to the no!" so $5 it was). The Shirley Temple book is pretty thick and hardcover, so I'm going to make it into a book clutch. Updates on that when I finish the one i'm currently working on! :)

The book on the far right is a collection of writings by Ralph Waldo Emerson that I got for $1. I love his work, so this should be a fun read!

And last but not least, I got the middle book and my fancy new tripod for only $10! I low-balled the tripod at first with $5, but he wasn't having it so I paid $10 and got the book as well. It's still a pretty good deal, considering most tripods go for upwards of $40. The book should be a good story, I think; I've never heard of it before but apparently it's an old classic, and I love classics! 

PLUS I was going to go get a tripod this weekend anyways, since I need one for my blog posts (my brothers both have shaky hands, and that just won't do!). So now I can actually post things- yay! 

I should get my DIY bag post up this weekend, or if not, sometime this week. I promise! :)

Garage Sale Loot

Today I was out on the town when I saw them: everywhere I looked, neon pink and yellow SALE signs with their signature black arrow! Little did I know I was passing through garage sale territory, and who am I to resist? I love a good bargain! After all, one man's trash is another man's treasure! :)

Here's my haul! 

My precious loot only cost me $3

A couple diamonds in the rough, sure, but I love projects!

That basket is going to get a nice new coat of calm yellow spray paint. I think it'll sit nicely on my bedside table! :)

The bag is going to turn into a sharpie project at some point. More on that soon, I promise! The lampshade is also a DIY idea. Are you in suspense yet?

And the documents rack is just to help me organize my life! My desk is in a permanent state of dysfunction and it's getting to post-tornado levels.




But how could I forget these little guys? There they sat, patiently waiting for a new home in the lot of a school fund-raising sale. Don't worry little fellas, you'll find someone to love you soon enough!

  

So now I'm dying to know:
What are some of your best garage sale finds?
