Cottage Style Party and A Huge Score

Our little town has a community yard sale

every year in September.

It's held at the community center and 

100-150 families have a booth at it.

I didn't write about this back when it happened.

It was good, I spent all $28 I had in my wallet

and filled my shopping cart.

But the real show is the following 2 weekends

when everything that didn't sell 

gets donated and shows up at the local Goodwill.

WOOT!

I got this...

last weekend!

Here's a better look at it:

That's right, I scored this huge old school chalk board!

It's so big I had to take it outside to photo it.

And the best part?

The price...

$5

Yes, that's right...

$5

WOOT!

And that's not all I found...

A rare set of Federal bluebird glasses!

A cobalt blue thumbprint divided dish!

A Westmoreland milkglass compote!

Set of 4 antique ironstone salts!

Set of 6 atomic stars glassware!

A silverplate soap dish!

A pair of French porcelain casserole dishes from Pillivuyt!

A Daisy and Button pattern clover shaped candy dish!

One of several pairs of old chicken salt & pepper shakers!

French Saxon china in the Leaf pattern!

A creepy doll head...

yeah, I don't know why either...

The cutest vintage bath shelf in seafoam!

Lots of old silverplate trays, bowls and baskets!

And more!

I'm not sure how I missed so much great stuff at the sale.

I was there early and a lot of people were 

still unpacking when I left.

As I was walking through the sale, one woman who just 

pulled into her space at 8 am, looked 

around at the crowd and said

"I thought this sale started at 8 am."

And some guy in the space next to her, who was kicked 

back in a chair drinking coffee replied 

"Yes, it starts at 8, but some of us have been 

here unpacking since 5 am."

Yep, and that's why I go to this sale so early 

and know I can pick up all the leftovers at the 

Goodwill for the next couple of weeks!

Woot!

Hello Friends!

Welcome to this weeks

Cottage Style Party!

#64

Then, suddenly, it's October.

Yep, there's no denying it now, summer is 

long over and fall is settling in.

As a gardener, I have my spring blinders on.

It's time to plant bulbs for spring blooms.

But there's a lot of cold, dreary weather

between fall and spring.

Lucky for us, fall is just as colorful

as spring and summer!

So let's see some fall color!

How beautiful is this table centerpiece!

I love this colorful display of fruit, berries and leaves.

Stop in to Just a Little Southern Hospitality 

to see all her fall colors!

This is such an adorable handmade pumpkin!

And it's not the only one that

Catherine made.

Drop in to her blog Ornate Splendor to see 

more of her work!

So cute!

Not only are these leaf S&P shakers full of fall color,

but they were a thrifty find too!

Only 50 cents!

These cuties aren't the only S&P shakers in her 

charming mantle display!

Visit Bev's blog Tablescapes by Bev to see details of 

her fall mantle 

and her sisters green depression glass!
