Weekend Finds!

This past Saturday I was out on the yard-sale circuit again!  I really find it a great way to start my weekend!

McG unfortunately wasn't with me for the morning hunt as he had to work, but we did hit one sale in the afternoon.

My morning stops rewarded me with this...

 
A lovely aqua blue enamelware pot - $2, two sets of coasters - 50 cents total - and some FREE Martha Stewart Living magazines...

At the afternoon stop, I found a marble turntable and an adjustable strainer basket for your sink, sold together as a "lot" for $1!!!
The woman holding the sale said she didn't want to bring anything back into the house.  I was excited to find the turntable because I had been looking for one for awhile.  The strainer was just a BONUS!




The coasters have been set out in the living room, the pot has been added to my china cabinet display and that marble turntable was the perfect size for my fridge...


McG thought I was crazy when I said I wanted it for the fridge.  But it helps organize all the little jars of condiments on the top shelf, and now you don't have to move everything to get what you want from the back...just turn the table and find what you are looking for!

Hope you found some good stuff this week!!

  1. Hi, Cheryl. Following your right back, so I'm your newest follower. Your finds are great, and coincidentally, I have such a turntable myself, and I love it. For everyday use I have it on our kitchen counter with decorative things (right now a blue and white coffee server and sugar and creamer, as well as fancy olive oil and balsamic vinegar, to keep it practical). For a gathering I usually use it as a cheese plate or some sort of server. Love it, so I know you'll enjoy it too. Thanks for following! ~Zuni

    1. Zuni - glad to have you - I too have another turntable - it sits in the center of our kitchen island and holds the salt and pepper shakers, napkins, toothpicks and the butter dish - you can check it out in my kitchen reveal - and its the reason I wanted one for the fridge!!
