Visiting Old Town

2013-09-26 050

Before I left Colorado my niece and I did some running around.  We went to Old Town and stopped in this really neat shop, Walnut Creek.

2013-09-26 046

They have all sorts of handcrafted items.  This piano bench was made from a wool sweater with a needle felted design.

2013-09-26 048

There were lots of really unique furniture pieces in great colors.

2013-09-26 045

Jess and I both loved these printed signs. 

2013-09-26 040

The red console was great…

2013-09-26 039

The black table and chairs were really sweet too with bright print cushions for the chairs.

2013-09-26 038

I loved these purses and look at the wooden spool hooks they are hanging from!

2013-09-26 037

The blue and peach flower print one is my fave, although the pears print is also cool!

2013-09-26 032

We both loved the screen printed owl on a pumpkin yellow pillow cover.

2013-09-26 030

And this crate with the chalkboard end (love those pumpkins too!)

2013-09-26 026

The numbered jars…how easy would that be to do?

2013-09-26 033

Another orange dresser/chest…just tons of really cool stuff!

2013-09-26 020

This little blue painted stool is from Ikea, it was only $22, which is a great price!

2013-09-26 023

I liked the felted wool soap.

2013-09-26 018

Jess liked this bicycle print sign.  By the way those are feathers in a vase behind her head, not her hair, just to clarify!

2013-09-26 019

Baby Brady didn’t feel too good that day so he was pretty sedate as long as the stroller was moving…

2013-09-26 016

he was a happy camper!

2013-09-26 015

There were really neat baby onesies and t-shirts, lots of baby items like bibs and blankets and stuffed animals.

2013-09-26 014

These wooden children’s toys were works of art, beautifully made. 

2013-09-26 057

This is what I bought, a phone case that is very practical.  I think I may make a similar one too for a gift.

2013-09-26 055

And here’s the packaging for purchases!  Love it just as much as I do the store!

My first garage saling of the season!

All sorts of great buys this past Saturday morning!!
IMG_8952
A great Thirty One tote bag that would normally cost $55 (I know too high!  I have a similar one but got it cheaper when they were having some kind of sale). 
IMG_8953
It’s a black denim with brown trim/handles.
IMG_8951
That bag weighed a ton too….it had all these goodies inside…BBW lotion, two hand creams, a lip gloss all sealed, two kinds of perfume, one called Grace, and I can’t remember the other kind, some other assorted lotions/creams with names I didn’t recognize and a pair of new in the package Sony earbuds.
IMG_8950
It was crazy good…all that for $3!
IMG_8942
I really liked this game table set, doesn’t go with anything in my house, but thought it was just fun…but did not get it at $150!
IMG_8943
Love the look of the table top.
100_7871
Two travel pillows for $1…
100_7867
a nice wood/wicker basket, perfect for magazines. 
100_7862
And a hang on the wall hook (for my guest bedroom after my son moves out in a few weeks) and this photo holder which I hope to use to photograph some jewelry for my etsy shop.
100_7872
Poly-Fil micro beads like you put in beanbags…they usually are about $20 a bag, at the first sale I went to I found four of them for $1 each. Score!!
100_7873
1 1/3 yard of vintage solid blue fabric…has the texture of barkcloth. I have a 22” square pillow form waiting for a cover…this will work perfectly for $1. 
100_7874
Cute little lighthouse drawing on wood 25 cents…
100_7877
Big metal bins for $2.50 each, I bought them both!
100_7875
I have been wanting to play around with this thread, it’s 30% wool and 70% cotton…now I just need to figure out what to make.
100_7881
Last but not least three canning jars, one of them blue vintage, the other two have that crisscross design wrapped around 3 sides (I think they might be coffee jars, but not sure), but there’s room for some stenciling on the 4th side.  And a picture frame which will be great for my frame wall, hoping to get that finished today or tomorrow!
What did you find this past weekend??

Columbia has a Super Target now!

Columbia, Mo now has a Super Target!  I hadn’t been to Target in a while, but have had the opportunity to mosey around the store lately and there are lots of things that I am loving! 

IMG_7720

Love these faux coral pieces…

IMG_7722

And the specimen art seashell picture. Think I might just have to make myself one of those!  With burlap as the background!

IMG_7723

And this cute blue table with the darker blue color dipped legs…

IMG_7724

And this shower curtain is something I almost bought at the clearance price of $12.48.  I loved the muslin look to it, but didn’t really need one, so I was good and passed it by, after drooling a bit.  Well, last week I was in Goodwill and found the exact same shower curtain, fresh out of the package and it was $4.00!!  I grabbed that sucker and ran with it to the cashier…she told me that Target sends a lot of overstocks and left over clearance things to them.  I will be keeping a close eye on that from now on!

IMG_6185

And speaking of specimen art, this butterfly shadow box is really cool. 

IMG_6184

Oh, the frost glass vases in THAT shade of blue. 

IMG_6180

I found myself drawn to the orange lamps and stools/tables too…

IMG_6182

And of course more blue…

IMG_6183

Lots of different textures and colors too. 

IMG_6186

The cutest bird top cloche with a wooden base…

IMG_6187

I cruise through Target routinely if I want to catch something I like on the lowest clearance price.  The guide from the KrazyCouponLady.com has helped me figure out the schedule for clearance prices.  Every store may not follow that strictly, but it is a guideline so if you are trying to catch something just after it has been marked down you can.
