Weekend Finds

After seeing the weather forecast for this past weekend, I thought my plans for a fun morning of flea market and yard sale shopping were turned to mush.  But to my suprise, I got up Saturday morning and found that it was a beautiful morning.  Daniel had class, so Elizabeth and I headed out towards the Fair Grounds to hit the flea market first. 

I've been in search of two end tables for our bedroom, but haven't had any luck.  Well, Saturday was my lucky day!  Our budget was $100 for a pair, but of course I was secretly hoping to find them for under $50 (even less would be great).  I found one that I liked with a price of $35, but knew there was a few more vendors that I wanted to check out.  The next one that I found was really similar, just a bit larger in size, with a price of $45 on it.  The man told me he could do better and I said that I might be back.  I knew there was another booth that I wanted to stop by before I made a decision, but had no luck.  So, I went back to the first table that I found.  Knowing that the rain would be here later in the day, I figured they would probably come down on the price a bit.  I asked what her best price would be for it and she said $25.... SCORE!!! 

I then made my way to the other booth (meanwhile saying a prayer that the other end table would still be there).  When I got there, I didn't see the man that had told me that he could do better on the price, but saw his wife.  I asked her what the best they could do was and she said $35. 

Still more than I wanted to pay for both, but still came in under budget at $60 for both!

I LOVE the lines in these pieces.  Look at the old hardware! 

Isn't it gorgeous?

My plan is to paint the tables Ivory and the hardware ORB. 

Can't wait!  More pics to come after our bedroom is complete!

On the way home, I could see that the storms were coming in, but there was a church yard sale that I wanted to check out.  In hopes that the rain would hold out, Elizabeth and I made our way there.  As we walked up, the first thing that caught my eye was this tray.  At 75 cents, I grabbed it! 

Won't it be gorgeous on one of the Ivory end tables? 

I assured my husband that it would go on MY side of the bed!

Another thing that I've been searching for is a Cheese Dome to make one of those Cloches that are all over the blogs lately.  Well, I finally found one.... for $2!!!

And again, once I get this project done, I will post pics!

I hope you enjoyed looking at my finds!

Empty Wall Space?

Do you have an empty wall that is screaming at you to put something on it?  I did.

But now, it looks like this!

This was so easy and quick!  I found these frames at Dollar Tree a few weeks ago.  They actually were from Walmart, but somehow Dollar Tree got ahold of them.  I loved how their simplicity and the fact that they were matted.  I printed up some pics of our daughter on snapfish.  The hardest part was waiting for my pictures to come in the mail! 

Once I got my hands of the pictures, I just put them in the frames, figured spacing and nailed the ribbon into place.  That's it!
