My mom went to a garage sale and found this basket for $0.25.
A quarter. You've gotta love it when people don't see the potential of their crap.
I bought some Krylon spray paint at Michael's on clearance for $2. Every so often, they'll clearance out the colors that they think no one wants... this particular color was called 'Celery'. Delicious.
A few coats of spray paint and I had a fresh basket. I put my yarn in it. And it's lovely.
Have you found anything good at a garage sale yet this season?
I found a fantastic spinning globe on a stand for $2. It wobbled on the stand--so I brought it home an tightened the screws. Now it doesn't! I plan on painting the stand cream colored and putting it in my living room.
ReplyDeleteGreat find!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal. I have this fear of going to garage sales. I feel strange looking at people's things, while they are standing right there. I need a garage sale friend to go with me. I know I am missing out on some GREAT deals.
