Weekend finds & I got an RAK..

Good Sunday morning!!
I hope your weekend was a great one.
While sitting here drinking coffee,I thought I would hop on and post some pics of my yard sale finds and of a RAK I received Saturday.

Sales weren't as great as I was hoping but I think it was because of the arts & crafts festival going on.
So, lets get started..........

First thing I want to show you is this crock. $1.00!! It's not in the best of shape but that's okay. I am planning on using it outside. Maybe set a pot of mums inside? Or how about some bare branches? I seen the branch idea in Country Sampler and really liked it.
Let me know if you have any other ideas. :)


on to my other stuff........

-white fruit bowl is ironstone. I don't know much about ironstone. It was free so I didn't pass it up.:)
-Wooden handles utensils 25 cents each. I got six of them!! (thank goodness for little 'ol ladies who have yard sales).
-Another old bingo game, buttons are wood 50 cents. I know you are probably wondering what I am doing buying bingo games. I kinda like the old games AND one of these days I would like to use them in an altered art project. I just need to find some ideas .
- Quilted pillow sham 25 cents ( not exactly my colors, but it's a king size one, so I may use it for a stocking or something)
- 2 aluminum roaster pans 50 cents. I like to have these on hand for turkeys or hams. That way I can throw them away instead of washing. lol
- Piece of cream flannel 10 cents!!
- Old strainer 50 cents. ( I am going to try Tammy's idea of removing the wire and make a flykeep). Check out her blog.

- Light up punkin 50 cents ( it's darker than what its showing up on here. ) I think they must have left it outside for a very long time. Maybe thats a good idea, if it makes them get dark.
I could become one of those neighbors(like one I have) that leave holiday decorations out six months AFTER the holiday. If I ever get a chance when they aren't home, I will get a pic of the huge snowman in the front window. ;)
- Canning jar with black lid 50 cents
- See in the upper left corner-beside the white bowl? small resin firkin bucket $2.00!
That was one thing I really wanted. It's small enough to stand alone of maybe hang on the christmas tree. Which reminds me that I want to talk about christmas trees and decorating in a few days. :)
- One more thing, small packet of halloween goodie bags. 10 cents. They are cute and I thought may be useful for giving goodies to online friends. :)
We don't hand out candy here. There are no small kids.

My yard sale total for the weekend........ $7.45!!!
Yea!!! Do the yard sale dance with me!!
shuffle to the right, shuffle to the left... ;)
