    Yard Sale And A Junkin Trip With My Buddy Beth

    This post may contain affiliate links

    My friend Beth and I got to spend a girls day junkin’. Guess where we went? Yep, my favorite junk shop! We hit a few other places too. Beth made a haul.

    shopping with Beth at my favorite junk shop

    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.

    loading up junk finds

    Mr. Butler loading up our junk treasures. He’s always sweet about posing for pictures.

    day of junkin

    He always has a plan too when loading things in the truck.

    treasures from my junkin trip

    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 find

    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.

    paint by number yard sale find

    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.

    vintage pyrex nexting bowls

    The Pyrex nesting bowls were $1.50. Really. The mirror and nice frame were $3, total.

    pottery and cake stand

    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.

      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.
