I've received all kinds of great news over the last few days. I've won two giveaways (I'll blog about those later) and I just learned that I won last week's So You Think You Can Decorate competition. To see my "white" entry, click here. The last couple of weeks, I've been 6th or 7th, so it was a nice boost to win. I really loved my entry and I'm glad others loved it as well. Thanks for all who voted.
I hit some yard sales this morning with my mom, but didn't find anything super exciting. Mostly toys for my boys to keep at Oma and Opa's house for when we visit. I did not come home totally empty-handed, though. Here's what I found...
I hit some yard sales this morning with my mom, but didn't find anything super exciting. Mostly toys for my boys to keep at Oma and Opa's house for when we visit. I did not come home totally empty-handed, though. Here's what I found...
a pair of white ceramic birds for $2.00
a pressed sap bucket for $.50
a blue and white transferware plate for $.50
a three tiered serving piece for $2.00
a small footed bowl for $4.00
this awesome Target lamp from Goodwill for $12.00
It was missing a piece, so the neck was dangling when I bought it. It just needed a nut and it was fixed. I think it only adds to the industrial look of the lamp, so I don't mind.
...and I got a brand new Liz Claiborne purse for $10 also from Goodwill. I'm always made fun of for my black leather purses, especially since my antiques and hand painted pieces are sold in an accessory store. I've been told numerous times that I need a "fun" purse.
I think electric blue leather is more fun than black leather. I'm trying, here, people.
Ha! I just saw on the SYTYCD page that I won a really fun purse as well! So funny. The "powers that be" knew I needed a cute purse.
