another stash of goods

the latest installment of yard sale goods from memorial day sales:



painted white wooden corner shelf, one of those serving dishes for chutnies at indian restaurants, a mesh wire hanging basket, a few yards of vintage fabric.

the shelf is up in the living room, and the basket in the bathroom with soaps and towels. the birds resting on it were attached to a desk lamp i also bought (other less exciting yard sale buys included a pillow insert, a nationals hat, and some stuff for work). i would love to make a dress with the black-and-white print.

yard sale loot 4.24


yard sales are my favorite three season sport. today was opening day! i did pretty well; everything in this picture cost $14. i also got a 2-person tent for $20, and later in the day i was walking to the community garden where i now have a plot (!!!) and i passed another yard sale. i picked up a cashmere sweater and a red metal bucket for $3.


pictured above: long cashmere cardigan, printed halter dress, bedside table, burlap coffee bag, pompom strands, vintage green suitcase, spice rack, individual ceramic spice canisters.




i'm almost finished taking in the sides of the cashmere sweater and will be taking in the dress and taking up the hem.
