    Garage Sale Stuff And Auction Buys

    This post may contain affiliate links

    Are you guys ready for another round of “the junk I bought last week”? I actually went to a garage sale this weekend and I got some stuff at an online auction. The garage sale was in my neighborhood so it was a no brainer for me to stop by. I spent $12 and got some goodies.

    I’m a sucker for fruit paintings and I like them just like this one….without the frame, just the canvas.

    I don’t know what the pig is supposed to be but I think he's filled with rocks. The pig is heavy and when I shake it he rattles like his stomach is full of rocks.

    I liked the little hanging lantern and I was going to fix it up but noticed it had snowflake cutouts on the roof so I think I’ll wait until Winter time.

    Cute homemade sign. It’s kind of primitive and that’s not usually my style but I love the colors and I may keep it.

    This plant basket is really large. Hard to tell from this photo.

    I really like the basket with lid although the lid is oblong and the basket is round but it looks okay all put together.

    Yes, they had a lot of baskets. I thought about painting or dry-brushing this one but decided it was perfect as is.

    The blue bottle is made in Belgium. I’ve already made a project with it but you will have to wait a couple of weeks for the reveal.

    Next up are my auction buys. I bought the three snuff bottles made in Japan for $10. I liked the colors.

    The butterfly is a door knocker. It was made in the 1920’s and apparently some of them sell for a lot of money. This one is not in very good shape.

    The maker was Rosa May Pickard. I have never seen a butterfly door knocker like this have you? I found a little information about the artist here.

    The butterfly knocker was in the box lot with the postal scale, cow bell, and glass dog.

    I bought a large lot with containers of screws and hardware, bike helmets, a camera tripod, and other goodies for $30.

    There are a bunch of tools which the hubby likes and the grouping of stuff was definitely worth the price.

    That orange thingy is a extension cord hub thing with a lot of hookups on it. I found one like it on Home Depot here and the price is $19.

    I like the dominos but I don’t think it is a complete set. I will check to be sure but if not I feel a project coming on!
