The day finally came. I got up early so we could be there right at 9am. Made my coffee, took cash from D's wallet (cause last I checked, the 287 receipts filling my wallet have no monetary value) and I loaded N up in the car. We could have walked up with the stroller, but duh, that would totally limit what I could buy.
"Doo do da doo. Just minding our business on our way to the rummage sale... then I saw it. Fluorescent pink. A fluorescent pink sign. Slow down.... read it.... Street Sale! What, what, what?! Oh no, think quick! Highly anticipated rummage sale or unknown street sale? ............. (heart racing) ........... (getting short of breath) ............ (tingling in my hands) .........
"Ok, deep breaths. Be rational I told myself. Stop at the first sale on the street. If you find something good, then the street sale is meant to be...
Thank you Rational Voice in my head. Thank you.

| Ugly piano bench. I have some visions for this but have no clue how I'll execute. I'd like to paint all the wood and re-upholster the cushion (even though I've never reupholstered anything in my life). Thankfully there is tons of inspiration out there like this... |
 |
| I don't own a piano, but if I did it would look like this!! Check out the rest of this room. Pretty amazing before/after transformation. |

You found some fantastic finds! One of the very first things I ever recovered was a piano bench (pre-blogging days). Super easy! And I love the badminton rackets, croquet set and clock. Really awesome stuff!

Wow, that croquet set it awewome! Was that from the street sale? Did you make it to the church sale? This is going to be fun and I'm looking forward to day 2-6! Oh, that clock is from Pottery Barn, I have two of them...

Yes, the croquet set was at the first house I stopped at for the street sale. That and the pottery barn clock! Never made it to the church rummage sale... my car was pretty packed after the street sale and I had to cut myself off ;)
DeleteAwesome finds! LOVE that piano bench, can't wait to see what you do with it:)
ReplyDeletelovely finds, katie!!! sounds like you hit the jackpot :) and cute yellow bench/owl below!
ReplyDeleteOh, girl, you scored! A great old croquet set is on my list so I'm super jealous. Is it bad that I only want the balls? If you don't want yours I'll buy them. I'm completely serious. You've got a great eye. The badminton racquets and Word Search letters? Too much fun, for sure!
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon - Unforuntately the croquet set did not come with any balls... just an extra mallet head.
DeleteI love everything you found! Isn't that turquoise piano beautiful?
ReplyDeleteNeat scores. LOVE the piano picture, how pretty. Thanks so much for sharing with the newbie party.
ReplyDeleteYou could be my personal shopper because I would have wanted to buy every single thing you did. I have looked for months for a croquet set and this past weekend my husband came home with one from a yard sale he passes on his way to the golf course. Yippee!
ReplyDeleteBrownie points for your hubs!!
DeleteStay tuned..you are my newbie pick of the week. You will be featured tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU Debbie!!! Lots of great people stopped by from your party :)
