The weather has been so wonderful and garage sales are back in full force. Love that.
Sometimes it pays to be late to a garage sale. When I passed by this one near my house, they were packing up. So they were really ready to have everything sold cheap. 50cents for the urn and such a nice size.
However, this is the best find. Remember I showed you fabric I was thinking about for the guest bdrm. Well, all of that was going to cost me around $200 for the bedspread, dust ruffle and pillows. Since the bdrm. is so small, only 11 x 10, I have a double bed in there. This same garage sale had this brand new full size fitted comforter in the original package from Dillards with the price tag of $179.99 on it. Sent to her by her mother, however no double bed, so she just wanted it gone. She said $10 and it's yours. It is so much prettier than the picture. Gorgeous, and it has the browns and reds that I wanted. Yip-skip!!! No shams or dust ruffle which is perfect, it's just a fitted quilted spread. Now I can mix the fabrics I want with it.
This was my original inspiration fabric. See how similar in color the one I found is.
She also had this 16" tray. A few scratches, but for $1 it is super.
I needed something this big for the huge cloche my daughter gave me for Christmas. See, it's perfect.
A really tacky frame for 25c.
However with my favorite weapon (walnut stain), it will be stunning. Still has to dry and then a 2nd coat.
I like brass, and it will be perfect in the guest room with my Ralph Lauren hunt theme that I'm working on.
All polished up it is fabulous. Not bad for another 25c.
Several have asked how the bdrm. is coming along. It's not. It needs to be painted and the carpet replaced, so it will be a while, but I am having fun collecting everything when all the major work is done.
I am linking to the following:
Thanks so much for stopping by. I always look forward to your visits.

ReplyDeleteWow, you really got some great deals at that garage sale! They were nice finds at that, congrats to you. Nicole
ReplyDeleteWhat neat finds! Which state are you in that is warm enough for yard sales already?? I'm moving!
ReplyDeleteMarty, you found some great deals. That comforter sounds perfect for your guest room! We won't be garage salen for a while. Blizzard conditions and a high around 11 degrees!
ReplyDeleteMarty I think you need to buy a lotto ticket my friend! That bedspread is very close in feeling to your inspiration piece and for $10??! High five *SLAP* girlfriend! You done real good with all your finds! Vanna
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous finds, especially the bedding and I love the way you overhauled that frame! When you said the weather was wonderful, I felt the cold coming off my window (which is covered with heavy drapes). It is so bitterly cold here today that with the wind chill is is under 0 degrees and that is unusual for us. How I wish it was nice enough for garage sales.
ReplyDeleteWOW you did find some great deals! Love the bedspread it looks almost like the one you wanted. How lucky your day must have been. Blessings, Vicky
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteYou got a ton of great treasures this week...LOVE that beautiful WHITE URN!!!!
Blessings,
Linda
Oh, you lucky girl! You always find the best things Marty!
ReplyDeleteMarty you really scored! That bedspread is just amazing and I can see your beautiful fabrics with it, hmmm didn't you have a leopard print? We haven't had alot of garage sales yet but I am surely ready when they start!

You certainly 'fell on your feet' finding that sale! Wat great purchases, and that bedding...WOW!
ReplyDeleteWOW Marty, you did great garage saleing! Love the quilt and the colors are perfect. I can't wait to go yard/garage saleing. Weather here is still yucky.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day,
Gail
OH Marty!
ReplyDeleteYou did good girlfriend! That bedspread was an amazing find!
The colors are so close to what you were looking for and look what you saved!
When I was in AZ. I went garage saling with Linda T. I called my daughter and she was like garage sales in January?? It's hard for us to imagine with all this cold and snow.
Hugs,
Cindy
I am so jealous that you are having garage sales already. It'll be months before ours start up again. I must move to a warmer climate where everyone doesn't go into hibernation. Wonderful finds and wonderful deals! God has truly blessed you.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Marty, I want to come garage *sailing* with YOU. You always find the prettiest items at the most incredible prices! I love your latest scores from the silver tray to the sconce to that lovely vase! The transformed picture frame is so pretty, too! *Becca*
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when you hit one of those garage sales? And I like the spread you bought better than the one you were planning on! Being patient works -- $10 instead of $200 -- think of the treasures you can get with the $190!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to go thrifting with you. You find the best stuff! Love the comforter the best. What an incredible score on that one.
ReplyDeleteWell, you were in the right place at the right time, Marty! That bedspread couldn't be more perfect and is very similar to the fabric you were considering. Love the white urn, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat great treasures! lOVE that bedspread -- Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletegreat finds, that bedspread is just so perfect! And so close to what you were looking for! bad weather here and no garage sales for a few months yet! Im jealous!!have a great day
ReplyDeletevivian
Wow! You found some great new treasures. I can't wait for garage sales to start in earnest around here - probably next month. Can't wait to see the other fabricss you put with your new bedding. It's perfect!
ReplyDelete~Adrienne~
How fabulous that you were able to find that comforter! All of the other finds were awesome too. Can't wait to see your finished bedroom! I haven't seen garage sales yet. I'm so anxious for them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Tammy
I am officially JEALOUS.. no need to deny it.. Love your new treasures~!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it wont be long till I am yard Saling in feb. too lol
Sonny
Wow, I really like the bedspread and it's very very close to what you wanted in the first place. Great deals. I can't wait until garage sales come back around here.
ReplyDeleteThe bedspread is wonderful, a custom fit bedspread can easily run over $400, so I think you can feel pretty darn good about yours! Love the silver tray with the cloche too.
ReplyDeleteOh Marty, those are some wonderful finds! I'm so jealous. There won't be garage sales here until May at the earliest.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I can't believe how close that comforter is to your inspiration fabric!
ReplyDeleteYou must be so excited about the bed ensemble! Love the silver tray too. Jennifer
ReplyDeleteYou really did good! No yard sales here - I think I just heard them say it is 25 now. :(
ReplyDeleteWow are you kidding me? That was a great find... I would be on cloud nine for months .
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds Marty! Love that comforter, what a deal.
ReplyDeleteSherry
Lucky you Marty! Yard sales and such great finds. Love the bedspread and it's perfect. You can add your own touch to it. What a change to that frame and the large silver platter is perfect for your cloche. I'm ready for some yardsales!
ReplyDeleteYou have hit the jackpot! Love the urn, picture frame and that quilt is perfect for your room.
ReplyDeleteHappy for you!
What fantastic buys Marty, you really did hit the sale at the right time. I can't wrap my mind around garage sales as I sit in my chair looking out at two feet of new snow.
ReplyDeleteHahaha wish I had been there, Marty, what a triumph!!The fabric is just right and the silver platter- well, perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh Marty, that bedding is just what I've been looking for; what a great bargain! It was great day for you. Have fun with all your goodies. Peggy
ReplyDeleteWow! Absolutely wonderful thrift finds Marty!! And a big score on the bedspread! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteHello, my brilliant lady! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed! I wish I could find great deals as you did! Oh, my! I love everything you got and the price? Well, to be better, only if it was for free, agree? ;-)

How amazing that you found bedding so similar at that price!! That frame looks amazing too with that walnut and love the urn. I need to go garage saling with you!
ReplyDeletewow, Marty, I can't believe the deals you always find. I don't know when we will have warm enough weather for garage sales again! We are buried in snow and ice. It looks like you have chosen to go with the brown color scheme in your guest room. I'm glad because it will be so warm and welcoming! Can't wait to see it finished. Linda
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to be Garage salen....I sure can't wait. And what steals...I love the tray:)
ReplyDeleteYou did great...I love everything. I know you will work your magic with that spread too! You have the touch. That urn has so many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteWow Marty, I didn't think you could do any better than that fantastic fabric store we went to but a $10 comforter has got it beat!!! It is amazing how close it is to the pattern you had in mind!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge cloche your daughter gave you!! So glad you found that pretty silver tray to complete it!!
Well another COLD -14 till late morning day! I made candied lemon peels and juiced the lemons that I got while I was down there. I forgot to tell you that the lemon candy I gave you is terrific in tea as it is a bit harder than it should be. You will just have to come over for a fresh batch. Also an going to try my hand at making some Lemon Curd to use on scones!

ReplyDeleteHi Marty. As good as GW prices are, the garage sale prices are just unbelievable! What a great haul you got! Love it all. It's still a little too cold here for garage sales to start back up. Lucky you! Linda

My wife and I enjoyed the Antique stores in North Carolina and Ohio and even now it is fun to look around at glimpses of yesterday.
Thanks for sharing, A Stroll Thru Life...

ReplyDeleteHi Marty-
ReplyDeleteI wish it were Spring here so I could go to a few yard sales and find some good deals like the urn and bedspread you found. I miss going to them. Only a few more months to wait out.
