This Weekend's Junkin' Finds #2

Hey ya'all ...

 How's your weekend going so far?

 Ever have one of those days when you don't know exactly where you're going?

 Ya know that your doing one thing or another but you have no set plan how you're gonna get there?

  

Yesterday was one of those days for me.

 I knew that I would be junkin' but where, I had no idea.

 I started my day like I start EVERY Saturday ... at Starbucks.

 Sad when you walk in the door and they have your drink waiting for you because

 they watch you pull into the parking lot.

 Anyhoo, with my trenta (that's 31oz. for you non- coffee drinkers ; ) )

 iced coffee with skim/half n' half 

(trying to cut the calories ... yea, I gotta keep telling myself that)

in hand I head out to find my goodies.

 I started at Goodwill where I found these 2 cutie pies for $3.99 a piece ...

Two milk glass with brass lights. Aren't they adorable?
 And they're purrrfffeeeccctttt. No dents, chips or scratches.

Now I gotta find the perfect shades for them.

Then I stumbled on a street sale in my local Amish area.

 If you've never been to an Amish sale, let me tell ya, 

 they're AMAZING.

 The Amish that come to Sarasota are usually Pennsylvania Dutch

 and they bring with them vinatge/antique pieces that you really can't find here in Florida.

 Last year, I found this amazing ladder for $3

and a booo koo amount of blue Ball jars with zinc lids.

So, whenever I see that there's an Amish sale going on, I'm there.

Let me tell ya, the sale didn't let me down. They were having a HUGE street sale.

 Almost every home was having a sale.

 Here's my finds ...

This OLD wooden folding chair for $.75

They had $1 on it but I got an extra $.25 off because it was missing a slat. I didn't care ; )

It's even stamped ... LUV it

Another crate ... SO many people commented on this piece as I was carrying it around

It's a big boy. He's gotta cool label as well .... 

 2 cute shabby chic pillow cases ...

A block seat for $1 that I'm gonna take from this ... to this which sell for $169

 

The coolest things I found were these antique hinges for $2

AMAZING patina, right?

I think they'll look sha...weet on the blue shutters I did a few weeks ago

Lastly, yesterday I popped over to the Sarasota Archtecturial Salvage Yard

My ALLLLL time favorite place to be.

(That's where the coffee sack covered blocks were from)

I found these 2 pieces

 An AMAZING 1927 fireplace grate for $10. More money that I would have normally spent

but I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it 

I think it looks great on this shelf. 

A lil' interest never hurt anyone ...

**On a side note, see the box on the bottom?
Notice the wording?
"Rio Negro" ... Black River
 I picked it up a few weeks ago at an estate sale for $2 filled to the brim with pine cones.
I'll show ya later in the week how I aged it : )

This antique hing will be transformed into something ... 

just not sure yet what but it's cool and I don't see them too often

So, how was your weekend?

 Did you find any cool junk?
