One Whole Month of Treasures!

Okay, so I have been taking pictures of all of my fun finds but have neglected to post them. Here is my really long list of fun treasures. Feel free to skip over to the next post if you get bored...


This book has amazing pictures inside. Wish I could show them all to you but the cover will have to do. I would like to photocopy some of the pictures and hang them up in frames on the wall of my kids room. It was $1

Just loved this quote. It hasn't found a home in my house yet. I'm thinking it will find a home somewhere after all of the holiday decorations have been taken down. It was $.50

This vintage chenille blanket was at the most FUN yard sale I have been to in a LOOOOONG time. Thanks so much to Becky for calling us and telling us about it! This blanket will most likely be cut up and used for the material. Probably for some awesome fall decoration for next year. It was $1

Also at the fun sale... these will be used for crafting over the next year. Gotta love the vintage wooden spools! Whole box was $1.

This was a fun find. This was at another sale and the fabric was awesome. There is 1-2 yards of year fabric. Plus they had some awesome vintage bias tape.

I mean... how cute are those tiny strawberries! The whole pile was $5

I got all of this fabric for $1. Not vintage but could be used to fill in a project somewhere if needed. Was a good buy still the same.

This was also part of the $1 purchase above. Might come in handy for a fall decoration next year. Or maybe a gift.

These cute cabbage patch dolls were from 2 separtate sales. The boy doll was $1 and the girl doll was $.25
What a deal. We don't have dolls to play with at our house so when girls come to play at our house, now at least they will have a baby to play with.

These cute bunnies I paid $4 for. Wished they were a little bit less but they will make a great addition to our Easter decorations this coming spring. Always have to be thinking ahead to get the best deals.

A collection of books. Can't remember how much I paid but it couldn't have been very much or I would not have bought them.

This fabulous purse was $2. I love how it's vintage looking but not "old lady" looking. The colors are great. And it is really functional too. You will see me with it on a regular basis now.

These are fun. They are felted beads. I plan to use them for centers of fabric flowers. We will see how that goes. I got all of them for $1. Thanks Diana!

A big bag of buttons... FUN! I am a button collector and this just added more to my collection. $1 was all that it cost me to bring them home.

A bunch of zippers. I saw an awesome headband the other day at Urban Outfitters that was made with a zipper. They had sewn the zipper together to look like a flower. These will be my practice zippers. If it works, I will post a picture. I think I am going to try it like this.

This fun box of ric rac and trims was $5 and my friend Tiffany and I bought it together and split it. She took most of the ribbons and I kept most of the lace and ric rac. That was a fun treause find.

These cute boxes were $.50 each and they now hold all of my fun ric rac and trim I have been collecting.

Everyone needs a cute western vest to wear to the local Rodeo... not really but I thought it might come in handy for a western party or something. It was $.25

More books. Not sure the cost but I can't imagine it was more than $.50 each or they would not have come home with me.

Love old movies. Even though they are on VHS. We are still old school and have 2 VHS players so we often enjoy the old movies. This one was $.50

These bunnies will be added to the Easter decoration pile. They were $1 each...

As well as this one. Think this one is my favorite. We'll see how we use him come springtime.

Okay... are these not the cutest shoes EVER!!! I got them for $3. I will be wearing them to church on Sunday with my new Christmas dress so if you see me, make sure you notice the cuteness of them. I was so excited because I really wanted a pair like them from Old Navy but they were $35 and I just couldn't justify spending that much on shoes. They were black not silver, but when you get them at 90% off the regular price, no need to be picky!

Love this story... it was $.25

Love these too! $.25 each

And these too! $.25 each
A cute wind-up clock that has an alarm (great for traveling or if the power goes out) for $.25

Another pile of zippers for my flower-making project. They were $2 for the whole bag.
And if you are still with me... Total cost for the whole month $36.50
There were a few things that I got for Christmas gifts but we will not spoil those surprises.
