$2 Bar Stools Plus Junk Shopping And Auction buys
It’s been a while since I posted about my junk shopping trips and auction buys. That means I have a bunch of goodies to share with you today. A couple of weeks ago, I really got some good buys at one of the online auctions.
I bought this set of outdoor bar stools for $11. They are now on our deck with the high-top table we’ve had for a while. What a great deal.
The four folding chairs were $8. What a deal on those. I’ve already sold two of them at the shop and am in the process of painting the one on the left.
The pair of wrought iron swivel chairs were $30. More than the other things but still a good price. They are very heavy and just a bit rusty and discolored.
I bought the 3 mismatched bar stools for a grand total of $2. This online auction deal was great! We are using all of them in the workshop. I may paint one of them and sell it.
I paid $8 for this vintage serving tray.
The handmade kids’ bench was $25. I’m just going to clean and refresh the wood.
I know it’s a mess but you guys know me. The rusty beat up First Aid Kit was $2.
It was still full of first aid stuff.
Now for the finds from my favorite junk shop. I loved the shabby chic white distressed pot.
A look at the stuff behind the front fence at the shop.
Do you like milk glass? I do but there is only so much junk you can display in your home.
There were a lot of pretty pieces at the shop.
I bought the vintage stopper bottle at the junk shop. I took it to my booth to sell and someone walked off with it. That happens a lot at the shop with small things, but keeping everything locked up behind glass doors is impossible. They were kind enough to leave the price tag behind….ugh.
I love this old handmade pottery piece.
I bought this at Goodwill with a project in mind but it didn’t work out so now I need another idea.
The candleholder will come in handy for some kind of project.
A look at the outside of the junk shop.
The two wire flower basket holders are cool. I bought them.
And I bought the outdoor figures.
The frogs are cute.
At one time I made a few projects with horseshoes but I don’t know what I would make with them now.
I got the beautiful Hawaii hanging at Goodwill. I love those colors. It was only $2.99.
The wood flower planter was too cute, and I’m not sure if I should paint it. What do you think?
The kitchen utensil came from the Goodwill too.
I don’t know why I like his little cat mug and topper so much. There is a chip on the top edge of the cup but I think it will make a cute little planter.
I plan to paint the drawer white and distress it. Maybe use it to organize magazines.
The last piece is a small table the JTS picked up at an auction for $5.
What caught your eye? Any ideas for me? Thanks for being here, Kathy

I haven’t gone junkin’ in a long time. There are several shops like this in Burnet, Texas which is a short drive down the road from me. I should plan a day to eat a burger out and go shopping. So many funs treasures to find!
Awesome buys Kathy! I would paint the small planter – something that’d stand out. You always have great ideas for your treasures. You’ve inspired me to be more creative with my own projects.
I love the pelicans. Are you going to sell them in your shop?
Yes, paint the flower planter.
Oh my Goodness! I so wish we had a shop like that in my area! I would love to spend an afternoon just lookin through all the goodies!
Love all your purchases listed. Good for you.
