Fun Finds

 Garage sale finds - bag and place mats
 Vintage Ribbons - the wide one is velvet:)
 Old Maps - I love old maps.  I have got to find time to do something really creative and fun with all of them I have stacking up.
 Baskets
 Wood top of the industrial metal cart I found at a garage sale - just across the street no less!  Top has already been painted in this pic, I forgot to take a before shot before I started painting. 
 Here's the bottom part before I started painting it.  This cart now resides in my living room, taking it's place as my new coffee table.  I am delighted with it! 
 And THIS is what we went to Kentucky to pick up last Saturday!  I had been at a friends house on Thursday and she was talking about the sink she needs for her laundry room.  When I got home that day I hopped on Cr*ig's list to see if I could find something that would work for her.  And I found this.  It works for me!  It's too long for her laundry but came in just under the max length we can get in ours.  Hubby liked it to, the price was superb ($100) and it was just over an hour and  half drive.  We snapped it up!
 I'm hoping we can get the old faucet re-chromed.  It's pretty cool too.
Another plus - we went RIGHT BY Ikea!!!!!  So of course on the way home we stopped there.  I was wanting to get an organization system to put in Middle and Little Sister's room.  We got that plus a few other things too:)  I also got to go to a Super T*rget and Trader Joes!  Not a bad day at all.  And we were home before 2pm and got some work done here too.  Great Day.  Thank you Jesus!!
