Good shopping today! My favorite bargain was this collection of punch needle supplies that included a Cameo needle with all three sizes of needles, plus two needle threaders, plus a sunflower pattern, plus the kit to make it - all for a total price of $.75! Can you believe that? WooHoo!
At a church rummage sale I found this little flying geese quilt - already quilted for just $2.00. I think I'll turn it into a pillow.
Someone did a really nice job on this little stitchery - it was $1.
I got this little vintage metal funeral basket for $.25. There's one listed at this site for $74, so I think it was a good deal, yes? (BTW - has anyone ever heard of this auction site before?)
A little metal stool on wheels that will look cute with a pot of flowers plopped on top. ($1)
And this metal floral display stand - I'll need to find some pots to fit in the openings and plant something that will trail down and look pretty - maybe give it a fresh coat of paint.
Summer is NOT my favorite season - because of the heat - and the bugs - and the road construction that I always have to deal with - but yard sales are one thing that I DO enjoy about this time of the year!

Wow! Great success. I never find great stuff at yard sales or at DI -- but I'm not a regular. My sister always scores great stuff because she goes all the time.
GREAT Finds, Gayle! I love the metal table and the pot stand. you could just put moss in the baskets and forgo the post altogether. It would look great!
Awesome punchneedle find, too!
Wow, great finds!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm jealous, Gayle!! I rarely find great things at garage sales...lucky you. :0)

You had some great luck, huh? I love all of them. I like interesting plant stands and pots. They're fun in the garden.

Wow - you found some treasures! I should hit more yard sales - but that would mean I have to leave my house!
Wow you found some great stuff - way to go!
You scored!! I have to get out to some yard sales this spring and summer. I never seem to find too many goodies though.
Those are some fantastic finds!! I think that I love everything that you picked up!! I wish our yard sales were like that.

Ok - I want to go yard-saling with you! All I seem to find is baby clothes and toys (and, no - not cool old toys either!) That punch needle stuff is an absolute steal!! And love the funeral basket!! Nope - never heard of that site. (But your basket looks almost identical to that one...wow!!) Can you say SCORE?!!! Have a happy Sunday! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

Wow--you had a very productive day. Love the plant stand. You will have to show us what it looks like once you get flowers in it.
I want to yard sale where you do, only earlier! Great finds!

Woo Hoo! Great finds at great prices! I'm with you girl... I don't like heat, but I do love me some garage sales.
