weekend treasures...

08 June 2009

Well, good Monday morning (almost afternoon!) to you! We started swimming lessons this week, so I'm a bit behind, but I'm joining Rhoda's thrifty treasures party!


a sweet little wooden lamp, complete with the shade, $2




a little clock for our bedroom, found out it doesn't work, but I still love it and think I'm going to keep it for decoration only. 50 cents

a big red and white enamelware bowl. I love this and can just see big juicy slices of watermelon in it this summer.

a framed art print 1.00 (love the chunkiness of the frame!)

2 wooden trays, 50 cents each

Does it all look like junk to you? Let's think potential here.... :) I'll show you the transformations eventually.
Happy Monday~

  4. those are some great finds! I'm seeing lots of potential--such as scrapbook paper modge podged on the trays. Oh, and I'm almost certain Pottery Barn carries a clock that looks like that. I would see if it could be fixed!

  10. Great finds. I'm jealous about that bowl. It looks perfect for some cut-up watermelon or strawberries. Trays for .50??? Fantastic.

  14. Melissa - You found some great treasures. When I find lamps they don't have a shade or, I get home and find the shade is not for that lamp. I usually then end up buying a new one. Lowe's is the best place for them. Thanks for sharing everything with us.

  15. The lamp is sweet. Most of the lamps that I find are the chunkier wooden lamps and I paint them white or black. But, your wooden lamp is slender and shapely...I like it as it is!

    I really like that clock. I would set it at 11:11 and make a wish on it every day!

  26. The clock you have posted that doesn't work looks exactly like the one I recently purchased at potery barn. You may want to take it there and see if they can help you?

  27. Junk? No way! Not for you, especially! :) I'm getting a little crazy for enamelware lately, chips and all.

  28. Huge potential here! Love the clock... even if it doesn't work. $2 lamp... a steal!

  29. Here's something funny...I saw the exact same enamleware bowl out yardsaling this weekend too. It even had that same hole in the rim as well. I debated so long whether to buy it or not, and at $4, decided not to. I'm sort of wishing I had though.
