Town-Wide Yard Sales are the BEST

Isn't it nice when you get flowers for no reason? Ms. Dori stopped in with sunflowers she grew this year. Love the colours of these, thanx Ms. Dori!

Now, on to other business. This weekend was Burford's Town-Wide Yard Sales. Usually it's cold and wet weather, this year just a bit humid which was bearable. My BFF Cindy and I had luck right from the get-go on Saturday morning. Love when that happens...

These little frames were free because we bought a bunch of other stuff at this sale. They're only about 1.5" high and cute!

You may not know this, but I am getting a NEW KITCHEN!! And it's going to be BLACK & IVORY!!! So, I'm starting to gather accessories for it. (Actually, we haven't even settled on a plan yet, but...)This will be perfect sitting on the island of the NEW KITCHEN (the fantasy island, hehe).
Spotted this quilt at a sale in Paris while doing other errands. Not old, but the colours will be great for the family room.Spike already loves it!
White pumpkins, what more can I say? Perfect for decorating, they're ceramic.

And this container is great for fall decor too. It's huge.

The guy selling this must have thought he'd have to use his best selling tactics on me. He just went on and on about what great condition this tub was in. Uh, yeah, I can see! Duh! Little did he know I planned to buy it 3 yard sales away!

These were cute, a little cheese set for Christmas entertaining. They were still in the original box.

When I saw this I thought it looked like a bee hive, but when I got it home, it's more like a bird cage. Don't worry, I'll fit it in somewhere.

See, he's already taken up residence here!I love chenille. Almost passed this bedspread up but the lady came down in price, so I took it.

I tossed it onto the couch in my sitting room, it looks soo comfy, right Spike?
Oh, I also picked up a bag of 5 pillows. These two heart ones were in it and the pillow behind the teddy below. The other two were candlewick embroidery, a little too country for me, so they've been stashed away for now.

This little guy came from my SIL's yard sale. She'll be mad when she sees I've girly-ed him up a bit with new buttons and lace. He matches the bunny a got a few weeks ago.
This little guy came from Sue's too.Cutie eh? that's it for this weekend.
