Thrifty Treasures...Seeing RED

A few thrifty treasures... Head over to Kimm's at http://reinventedkb.com/ to veiw other great posts for Thrifty Treasures!
And forgive me for not having any 'after' photos... its raining... laundry is piling up...
but, next week.... I promise... I will have some made over trash...


I had a great garage sale day on Friday... the weather was perfect, there were several sales... so Monkey and I got our change and headed out.




This first picture is of a cute RED headboard we got for $1.00


...this won't be its final resting place... but I stuck it here for now.











Then we came across this RED beauty... again for $1.00

...Monkey test drove it, deemed it to be a winner... and here it sits... stop looking at the weeds in the flower bed.... you know I've been on vacation... it just can't be helped.











Found this little pair of metal wall candle holders for .25

Super cute!








And I LOVE this little pot... complete with faux moss... 25 cents!
We came across another sale that had jeans for $1/pair... found 3 pairs of Levis for Hubby to wear to work. That man will get a rip or hole in his work jeans within the first 2 hours of wearing them..... ugh! I would show you a picture of the jeans, but they are hanging on the line... in the rain. Yes, in the rain.... oh, I didn't tell you that the dryer.... my beloved Harvest Gold Maytag dryer from '73, stopped working? I loved that dryer... and now I'm sure his partner (the washer) will be sad and decide to leave me too... I tell ya, all my friends have new fancy washers and dryers... and laundry centers....
not me..... I NEVER talked bad about my Harvest Gold babies... I never cheated on them and daydreamed of the new fancier versions. R.I.P to my Harvest Gold baby... yes, you are going to be replaced w/ a fancy... shiny... new... updated... computerized model.... but you won't be forgotton. And remember- you went on your terms. I stayed loyal to you.

    Most of my blogging is done from Work. SHHHHH, my son is the Computer Guy here and he's already knoced us off My Space and Craig's list. I'm not telling about the blog world.

    Many Blessings and thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm not not ready for the Big Time (pictures) yet. But love seeing all the goodies and ideas that others display.

  11. Amy - I love your sense of humor - My condolences on your dryer - it'll be hard to find a spot to have a proper "burial" though...! :(

    Take care my blogging friend (and hope to see you in Oronoco)!
