GARAGE SALE kind of fun.
Like, I HIT THE JACKPOT at a garage sale kind of fun.
I left my house Saturday morning with some goals. My two younger children needed desks for their rooms. They are getting older (11 and 8) and more independent (sniff, sniff).
I actually found TWO DESKS in one day. I swear I could actually hear the angels singing.
This one was TEN BUCKS. Yep, you read that right. It’s one seriously solid and H.E.A.V.Y. desk, perfect for a high energy 8 year old. See that purple monster? It’s a pencil sharpener that belches every time you sharpen a pencil. Cracks me up every time. 
This one was TWENTY BUCKS, and included the matching chair. I already had to clean off a mess to take this picture. Let’s just say that my 11 year old daughter is NOT a neat freak.I had plans to paint both desks, but my children refused. I’ll have to keep working on them. The kids, I mean.
Those fabulous desks aren’t ALL I found, no siree.
Check out THIS.
I actually found TWO of these Pottery Barn shelves, for $5. They were originally off-white, but I’ve already given them a coat of glossy white spray paint. They’ll go above the daughter’s desk, just as soon as the handyman gets around to it.
I also got these pears.
And some “real looking” fake leaves for fall.
A wreath. And a pretty green candle that matches my dining room.
Beautiful brown silk fabric with embroidered dragon flies.
And these plaques, which will most certainly be a “trash to treasure” project soon.Can you hear the angels singing too? This was the kind of garage sale weekend that I DREAM about at night. Seriously.
I am linking up to thrifty treasures at Southern Hospitality. Check out the fab finds!
