Yard Sale And A Junkin Trip With My Buddy Beth

My friend Beth and I got to spend a girl’s day junkin’. Guess where we went? Yep, my favorite junk shop! We hit a few other places too. Beth made a haul.
Beth, Mr. Butler of Butler’s Antiques (my favorite junk shop), and me
Beth didn’t want me to take her picture but I got her anyway…on the run. She bought the metal shopping cart which sure came in handy. Beth is a shop in Fairview, Tennessee, and a blog….Farm Fresh Vintage Finds. You may have heard of her. She’s an awesome furniture painter.
Mr. Butler loading up some of our junk treasures. He’s always sweet about posing for pictures.
He always has a plan too when loading things in the truck.
These are my finds. I fell in love with the pair of framed bird prints. Of course, the red drawer and the turquoise cups caught my eye too. My haul came to a total of $13. Oh yeah, I forgot that Beth ran off with my yellow shutter. It was on the bottom of the junk in the truck. I’ll be getting it later this week.
Yard Sale Finds
I ran upon a yard sale last Friday while taking a road detour. Fist yard sale I’ve been to in years. I shopped yard sales religiously when we lived in Florida. They have good stuff in Florida. I bought the orange metal saw case for $4.
The paint by number was 50 cents. I’ve never been a fan of paint by number but something about this one caught my eye.
The Pyrex nesting bowls were $1.50. Really. The mirror and nice frame were $3, total.
I got some good buys didn’t I. Tomorrow I have a painted furniture project and the big giveaway from Plaid. There will be 3 giveaways with a combined total of $800 of Plaid craft products in the mix! See you tomorrow.
I also wish I could find places like that too. Love the things you buy!
I wish I lived nearby to stop in and shop. I too love your hauls, and the great prices. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my. How I wish I didn’t live so far from anywhere to shop antiques or garage sales! 45 miles to the nearest small town…but I have gorgeous views. Ah well.
You got some awesome buys! I’ll take the Pyrex bowls ($2.50, please!) and the orange saw case is terrific. Love the frames/mirror, too. The round wood disc will become something fantastic – another cake platter/stand? I kinda like that paint by number, too – it sorta looks like an abstract painting!
I’m down at the lake – I need to run to Butlers if I get the chance. He is the nicest man.
That is a steal on those Pyrex bowls.
Great finds!!! I love junk stores!!
Thanks for sharing.
Mr Butler sounds like a priceless gem! And the silver mirror and frame are to die for! You girls did good!
Kathy – I am soooooo incredibly envious of your hauling trips —- I miss it soooo much bc I had to take a full time job…. blaaaaaahhhhhhh – Trust me – you are having alot more fun!
