Some people see junk...

I see potential!

I was finally able to convince Dustin to go back to the sketchy old yard sale with me today and holy smokes I am glad we went!  This time, we weren't as confused and freaked out as we were before, so we actually had a chance to go through everything, and dig through all of those old motel rooms.

My haul consisted of:
  • An old wooden chest.  Needs some new fabric and a bit of paint and I really think it could be fabulous!
  • Some brand new thread/string for crafting
  • Some thrifted vintage dresses which I will clean and use for fabric
  • An old vintage mini suitcase (always wanted one!)
  • A vintage floral lamp. This thing is so tall, and needs to be re-wired but I just had to have it! Grabbed a nice shade for it too!
  • A rustic looking half-moon shaped wooden hall table. This needs the most love out of everything.
  • And a whole bunch of my favourite things ever... picture frames!!!

The best part.... everything was free!  I wish my car could have fit more stuff inside, because there were some things I sadly had to leave behind.  I can't wait to get to it and paint up some frames, beautify the furniture, and put it to good use!

What do you like best from my haul?  What is the best item you have ever found for free!?
