Fall Decorating, Weekend Finds & More........

Hello, Its Monday!! :)
First, I want to post a pic of my beginnings at fall decorating.
I started dragging some things out of storage on friday.
The top of the tv armoire is done.
There is still a bunch I need to go through and decide whether or not I am keeping .
I couldn't believe that I had as much fall stuff ; as I do christmas.




I went to just a couple yard sales this weekend. I really wasnt in the mood but knew if
I didnt stop , then I would regret it on Monday.

I picked up these books for 25 cents. the hummingbird book( which is a little blurred in the pic) has beautiful watercolor pics in it. I didnt realize there were so many different kinds of hummingbirds. :).
The flea market finds book is awesome! Lots of great ideas for those t2t finds.
The book on building sheds and other buildings has great info.
I had looked at it online before.


Some more goodies.
the table mat ( 25 cents) is going in a thrift store swap that I am in.
the basket - 50 cents
small basket 10 cents
hardback book 25 cents
old bear pattern - freebie!!
white cotton sugar bag( in bottom of pic) was $1.00
large (4 yard)piece of cream flannel.) also, $1.00!




We got my dad's deck sealed.
Also came home and did mine. Sunday morning I was watering flowers, got the deck wet and slipped off the step. Stupid me!! I got a big 'ol bruise on my leg and I feel stiff. :(



Look! Look!

  2. They say that Halloween comes in second for the most decorations these days, after Christmas, of course :) So you're right on track!

    Everything looks great!

    You sure do find a lot of great yard sale finds in your area. I rarely find Prims but I guess I really don't hit too many sales either! LOL I just stay away and save my money and space! LOL

    Have a great rest of your day!

  3. Hey Kim!!! I haven't gotten out anything yet, but I am hoping to this week.

    Great finds this weekend I especially love the basket. No I wasn't in Berling this weekend to go to Zincks. It is on my list though. LOL. I have a whole list started of places I want to go when my kids go back to school. Most of them are fabric stores between home and Berlin. Did you know there is a thrift store in Berlin too??? Another place for me to visit.
