I was finally able to convince Dustin to go back to the sketchy old yard sale with me today and holy smokes I am glad we went! This time, we weren't as confused and freaked out as we were before, so we actually had a chance to go through everything, and dig through all of those old motel rooms.
My haul consisted of:
- An old wooden chest. Needs some new fabric and a bit of paint and I really think it could be fabulous!
- Some brand new thread/string for crafting
- Some thrifted vintage dresses which I will clean and use for fabric
- An old vintage mini suitcase (always wanted one!)
- A vintage floral lamp. This thing is so tall, and needs to be re-wired but I just had to have it! Grabbed a nice shade for it too!
- A rustic looking half-moon shaped wooden hall table. This needs the most love out of everything.
- And a whole bunch of my favourite things ever... picture frames!!!
What do you like best from my haul? What is the best item you have ever found for free!?

I love free! One day my husband saw an old school desk by the side of the road with a free sign on it. When he knocked on the door to ask the lady if it was indeed free she said yes and that she had two more like it if he wanted them. He loaded them all up, cleaned them and they are now used by our kids. We homeschool and our kids love having a desk of their own. :)

These are super cute finds, I love the old wood chest. I love finding things & fixing them but I barely have time for those types of projects now. I have more down time in the winter though
