Since our "taste" isn't all that common in our area we pretty much had the pick of the clearance crop. So much so that we carted around 3 carts FILLED to the brims! Oh yeah, and we had our sanity and ability to hold down a husband questioned on 2 seperate occasions when people saw what was in our carts (not even kidding on that one, but it was a ton of laughs for the two of us since we thought we struck gold!).
Here are a few of my goodies from our adventures:
weathered wood tiered stand, $19
I got 2 of these trellises, amazing at only $11!
These tin finials were originally brown so I "aged" them up a tad with some cream paint, $15 & $18.
Various vintage books I snagged over the last few days (yes, I do read all the books I display!).

Wow, you found some great bargains, love them all! I would have been happy with a full trolley of these, they arent as cheap here in Australia!

Love the old books. I'm always on the hunt for pretty little childrens pocket books.
I love the obelisk and the finials. Great finds!
Loooovvvveee the finials! Im obsessed with them for some reason but ive only been able to find a small (and very heavy!) one at hobby lobby..did you get them at home goods? Im going to have to rush out this morning and check what mine has! Very cute stuff!

Holly I need to go shopping with you!

I have a serious love affair with all old books. We went to an antique mall last week and I nearly left with all of their books! :-)

I wish that we had a Home Goods or a Hobby Lobby...or an Ikea....
You found some great stuff!
Sounds like you ladies had a ton of fun! Great finds!!!
Holly I had so much fun! The finials look so much better now that you aged them with cream paint!!!
You lucky bum! Great stuff at great prices. I really like the wooden tiered tray and the old books. (Les Mis was a favorite of mine!)
Such great finds!! Those would cost a lot more in any store round here.
My fav is the Les Miserables book. What a great read.

PS: I am almost finished with the furniture. I have painted the lowboy, the side tables and just finished the desk today. All in Snowy Alpine. Can't wait to show you. I'll send pics in Dec. LOL
I love, love, love the trellises! I like to get old books too, but I can't say that I read them all...some, but not all :)
Don't you love Home Goods - I've found the most amazing stuff there!
love your finds!!
Wow! I absolutely love those trellises.
