I'm afraid this week's episode of My Weekend Finds is a real yawn fest! There were only two garage sales, and it only took me 30 minutes to walk through the whole flea market.
These picnic baskets are going to provide some much-needed storage in the bedroom. I'd show you a picture of the mess I'm trying to organize, but I don't want to humiliate myself today! At $1 each, these baskets were a steal. The watering can was cheap too.
I found this birdcage and stand a few weeks ago, and forgot to share it. It was black, but I spraypainted it white, and then I put a couple crows inside and on top to scare the trick-or-treaters with. Hey, I have to keep getting up to answer the door and give them candy, so I might as well get some enjoyment out of it too! I found one other thing at the flea market, but I'll save that for REDnesday. So, did you find anything interesting over the weekend?

Wow is all I can say about the picnic baskets for $1 each. You scored girl!
Are you sure you were not born in Jellystone Park? You love your picnic baskets! You are a lucky girl to find them so dirt cheap!
I have a fondness for boxes and baskets too. Who knows why we are the way we are, as long as we don't hurt anybody right?
Love to you, raining in Washington but I'm smiling in my heart.
Carol-I love the picnic baskets. Painting the birdcage was a great idea and it looks really cute. Even when your sales are a dud, you still manage to get some great things!
Love those picnic baskets..great find.

Love the baskets. They do make the best storage. Thanks for adding the Vintage Halloween button to your sidebar! I can't wait to see your post! Joan@anythinggoeshere
Thanks so much for your visits to my house. I like your painted birdcage....very clever. You have such an eye for things so your “find” posts are always interesting and pretty amazing. :-) g
Wow-the picnic baskets are a real find and the price-woohoo! I loved your post about getting a new pet...that last picture of the girl with the bird on her head would have made me snort milk up my nose had I been drinking milk...luckily for me I was not! Priceless!
Have a great week Carol!

At least you're still out there, I think I'm garage saled out for the season! Love the picnic baskets, they are wonderful for storage, but I've never found one for a dollar, maybe I need to get back out there!
Great finds, Carol! Love those awesome baskets for organizing. What a great idea!!!
Hugs,
Coralie
I think your finds are wonderful! Especially the baskets. Thanks for sharing! Elizabeth
So very sorry that garage sale season is over here too. But you did find some great bargains. I have a little stack of picnic baskets in my kitchen. Very handy storage. Mimi
