Thrift Sales & Art Barn

Don't you just love finding 

cool things at thrifty prices :)

This watermelon is made of paper mache'.

It's a Goodwill find for $3.99 

(plus my senior discount).

The pretty red scale was a gift from my 

sweet friend Shirley :)

This little polka dot chicken jar

was only $1.99, Goodwill again.

 They just give my kitchen that farmhouse feel.

I think that I've posted the pig before.

He was also a Goodwill find :)

 At a yard sale a week or so ago,

I spotted this old sled.

They were asking $20 for this and $20 for 

a small cabinet that I also purchased.

I only had $29.86 in my purse,

because I was on my way home from 

Joanne Fabrics, LOL.

So they excepted my offer of all that I had,
  for both items :)

I've made more jam this week.

Raspberry from our three bushes,

and blackberry from some berries that were given 

to me by a dear friend.

On to the Art Barn.

We had this electric fireplace/heater

in the living room of our old house.

I've had it stuck in a corner of the house,

but have wanted to bring it out here to the barn.

I just didn't think I had the room for it.

Well after rearranging and shuffling things

around, Viola, I made it fit!

It will be nice & cozy, come winter :)

There is a magic to rearranging furniture.

You always feel like you have a new room,

I love it!

 This is a chandelier that I have been working on,

for the Art Barn.

 It's a combo of an old weather wreath,

some small branches that fell from our trees,

and a set of patio canning jar lights.

Perfect for the barn :)

Last but not least . . .

This gumball machine 

was at the Goodwill for $7.99.

I filled it with old broken watches 

and clock parts.

What do you think?

If you are still here . . .

thanks for sticking it out.

I know it was a long post.

Thanks for your friendship and support.

I appreciate you all :)

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
