My new treasures...

This was definitely a great weekend for treasure hunting...and finding...as I prepared for a yard sale this week (aided by two of my young neighbors, David and Peter, who are fearless...and by that I mean they are not afraid to dig amongst spiders and cobwebs in my old barn)...I found some unexpected treasures...and I wanted to share them with the world...

First, I found a NEW set of twins...

I just love these chairs and the best part is I had just saw a chair just like them featured on Design Sponge. You can check out this chair's before and after here...

Then I found this great kitchen scale...


...which my mother immediately traded me for a fan that I let her have last time she was up...

She must have REALLY liked the scale because she even offered to spray paint it for me...

Later that day, my neighbor, Aunt Becky, told me about an old typewriter she
had in her barn...and she gave it to me... I heart this typewriter...It is going to look so amazing in my library...but what would a library be without...


A LIBRARY table...yeah!!! I found this at the end of the day at a yard sale...and I got
it for only $60...I have been looking high and low for a real library table...when I got
out of the car...and saw it I actually started running...SO EXCITED...

Stay tuned to see before and after pictures after I refinish some of these
pieces...Ohhhhhh MOM!! We need to get to the fabric store...
