| Thanks for tuning in to another episode of My Weekend Finds, the continuing saga of one girl's quest for more junk! |
 |
| Last Friday I went to a barn sale, an annual event that I always look forward to, and even lose a little sleep over. You just never know what you're going to find there. Some years it's amazing, and other years not so much. As soon as they let us in, I made a beeline for the holiday decorations department. This sale is so crowded that you have to grab first and think about it later. I grabbed this bag when I saw the price and that pink Rosbro bunny that I've always wanted. |
 |
| Little did I know that all of this vintage Easter goodness was inside that bag, and all for 50 cents! |
 |
| Cute little Made In Japan bunnies.... |
 |
| And these two cute chicks, also Made In Japan. So glad I grabbed that bag! |
 |
| Halloween decorations. Left: vintage Haeger pumpkin planter from my sister. Middle: pumpkin guy that creeps me out more and more every day. Right: cute little polka dot punkin boy. |
 |
| Groovy Napco pilgrims. |
 |
| Vintage Santa figurine and blow mold. |
 |
| In the non-holiday decorations department, I found this pale blue vintage tablecloth, and the little pottery vase is from my Mom. |
 |
| This old cooler also came from the barn sale. Again, I had to grab it right away and decide later whether I really wanted it. I carried it around for a while, trying to figure out just exactly where I could possibly put it, and how I would use it. In the end, my final decision was this: I needed it because I wanted it. I put it on the porch, and I'll use it as a decoration! I'm thinking some mums in there for Fall, and lots of greenery during the winter. So, what did you find last week? |
The Easter decorations are just sweet, but really, I like everything you bought!

Oh! I would lose sleep, too! Ha-ha!
ReplyDeleteI understand that want and need stuff! I recently bought a baby pillow and matching blankets with felted white kittens on them! So unpractical but so cute!!!
My new favorite saying is "I needed it because I wanted it"! Love the Easter stuff. I wish I could have gone to that sale. Then we could have duked it out over everything:-) Seriously though, great job!
ReplyDeleteErica
Adore your header! The cooler is just the neatest find!

Seriously JEALOUS and happy for you. Your stash of Easter goodies are absolutely amazing. Love your Santa blow mold too. Fantastic treasures. I totally understand losing sleep. I do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! SHE SCORES! Easter Palooza! You did right buying that cooler; you know if you hadn't brought it home it would haunt you thinking of all the ways you could have used it!
ReplyDeleteCute stuff, Carol!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that plaid cooler! I'm crazy for plaid all year round but in the fall/winter it takes on obsessive tendencies. LOL That thing is going to be just darling full of mums!
ReplyDeleteYou did some great 'grabbing'!! Love the Easter decorations! You found lots of great goodies and I too think the plaid cooler will be lovely with mums in it! I've been avoiding sales since I'm full up (can you believe?) but maybe a wee one here or there soon. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteThe bag of Easter decorations would have made my day!
ReplyDeleteLove the Easter decorations. What a steal of a price. Also love that tablecloth, but my fave is that cooler. It's such a neat plaid-different then the typical Scotch Brand Cooler. I wish we had little sales like that around here. I'm waiting for fall garage sales to arrive. I have no idea when they'll start-it's still around 99 degrees here!
ReplyDeleteeek...Great Easter treasures!!! I love it when a good deal comes along!
ReplyDeleteWarmly,

ReplyDeleteFabulous finds - especially the Easter decorations!
ReplyDeleteYou did great!(as usual :) I especially love the Halloween pieces. I think it's tough to find vintage Halloween.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your .50 baggie was the BEST score! I always head straight to the holiday tables too! :)

ReplyDeleteGuess what? I have that little pilgrim pair! My mom gave them to me when she downsized. Now when I get mine out I'll think of you.
ReplyDeleteOh and those are amazing finds again! I especially love the tablecloth - it's so pretty! Oh yes, and I especially love the cooler - I have a thing for those. I could probably go on and on about how I especially liked one thing or another. Job well done!
Just the words BARN SALE send me over the edge :)
