YARD SALE!!!!

Noooo Im not having one but I went this morning bright and early to an annual community yard sale near my moms. It was a 2 hour drive so we got up at 5am and left at 6! There were so many yard sales. Anyone with kids would have been in heaven. Lots of awesome toys and books and clothing. I came across a lady just getting her things out. What made me stop was this wooden box. My sister has been looking for one to use as a coffee table. I bought this for $5 and the lady told me she made it from an old chicken coop. The front side where you see the window flips down. The top also comes off or there is a little hole in it they would have put a heat lamp thru to warm chicks. It needs a little work but its beautiful and Im not so sure my sister will get it! I also bought the old iron from her for $2. The big colander I got elsewhere for $1 and the rolling pin for a quarter! Also from the same lady I got this old antique ironing board. She rescued it from the trash and painted the birdhouses on it. I will remove the raffia and maybe replace with pip berries...I think I will leave it painted as is for now. I paid $4 for it!
Again...same yard sale....this old school desk!! Now I gave her $40 for this because I have wanted one forever. She says they found a date from the 1800's on it....I havent looked yet but it doesnt really matter cause I love it!! It has the hole for the ink well and is adjustable in height.
And again from the same lady I bought this shelf. Im going to paint it as it has blue on it now. I paid $2 for this. I had such a great day. My mom and sister and her two girls joined my husband and I. So it was a family day and we were all excited about all the goodies.
We also bought some puzzles to do next winter and my husband got some Norman Rockwell collectors plates. I hope you are all having a good weekend.
