Garage sales are my favorite but I also go to flea markets, thrift stores and auctions. I am always on the hunt for furniture to paint, stuff for myself, my house, my kids and unique items that I could put to future use. I love the thrill of finding something that was once very expensive for as little money as possible.
In this series, I will share my scores to show you how much you could get for your hard earned money. Some days I hit jackpots, some days I get nothing, but I always have fun.

ReplyDeleteHello Susan
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from I Gotta Create hop. Awesome burlap bags, what a find. I love yard sales. We enjoy recycling somebody's old stuff into something better and new. I'm a basket junkie and yard sales are my best find spots. I buy them by the trunk loads and with paint, ribbons etc I have great decorations or gift baskets. Sorry, I'm rambling. I've enjoyed your blog and I'm your newest follower. Hope you will visit me and hopefully want to follow my blog also.

Great finds!!! Love for you to share them at my new "Share your deals" blog party!!!
ReplyDeleteThose burlap sacks are amaz!!
Thank you so much for joining my party!! I was so excited to see you linked up!!!
DeleteLove those burlap sacks. I think that little stool would be so cute painted and then covered with one of the sacks.
ReplyDeleteMy wheels are turning on all the things I would do with those burlap bags. Upholstered chairs would be really cool. Or a floor poof! I would love if you would link up to my "Go Get Your Garage Sale On Linky Party"! http://www.brightgreendoor.com/2013/05/go-get-your-garage-sale-on-with.html
ReplyDeleteI envy your stash of burlap sacks!
ReplyDeletewow, looks like you really struck pay dirt getting all those incredible sacks. I am green with envy. It'll be fun seeing what you make with those sacks. Better keep us all informed.
ReplyDeleteLove name of your blog, so cute and sweet. I agree with other commentor, cover stool with one of the sacks.
About washing them. I washed one I found, only on cold for a very short cycle, do not put them in the dryer. Don't wash too many at once, maybe 3 or 4 at most. You could let them sit in washer for about 10 minutes to soak if they're really dirty. then turn washer back on. Just be really careful not to twist them out of shape. I used Dawn to wash them, just a little as it will suds up like crazy in the washer.
LOVE those neat bags!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
Can't wait to see what you do with them, I'm sure it will be GREAT! Thanks so much for sharing at Amaze Me Monday!

Awesome finds! Those bags are fabulous! Thanks for linking up to Give Me The Goods Monday! We love having you party with us! Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof
ReplyDeleteThe bags are great. When I went to the worlds longest yard sale a guy was selling potato sacks and I only bought two. What was I thinking. I haven't used them because since I only have two I hold onto them for the "perfect" thing, never wanting to use them up. At least with a whole load of them you won't have that problem. Hope you dig in and enjoy creating some fun things with them.

ReplyDeleteOoooh, so fun. I LOVE yard sales. I'm currently banned from them as we're moving in 11 days... Can't wait to get back on the hunt.
