Anyone who knows me knows that Purcellville’s Town Wide Tag Sale is right up there with Christmas as one of my favorite days of the year. Coincidentally, I get a lot of my Christmas shopping done being that in my immediate family we have a rule that gifts have to be handmade or second hand.
I didn’t score HUGE this past Saturday like I did last year (Little Tikes Cocoa Cafe for $20? Are you kidding me??) However, I did add some treasures to my to-be-refurbed stash.
Check out this sweet wooden paper tray I got for a BUCK!
My refurbishing experience is limited to an owl clock and a mirror I made over for my daughters’ rooms, so this one is a challenge. The metals pieces are attached with brads, not screws. Any advice on painting it? Should I just tape up the metal? Can you tell I’m intimidated?
I got his dog dish ($3) for our 10 week old golden retriever puppy, Sunshine.
It’s going to get a Virginia Tech Hokie makeover,…and then we’re going to have to figure out where to put it.
These rainbow glasses ($2) caught my eye, but now I realize they don’t nest inside each other, and that’s a lot of cabinet space.
There were Halloween decorations at almost every sale, and I could literally have bought them ALL! However, I limited myself to just this cool lantern ($1.50).
The picture doesn’t do this HUMUNGOUS bag justice. It’s from the Company Store ($3) and like 3 feet in diameter. It will easily store 2 king comforters (or a child in timeout.) : )
The piece de resistance for the day was this Barbie dream house ($30) that I considered saving for Christmas. That would have been a labor of love, and it was more fun to see the expressions on my girls’ faces when they saw it. The basket of Barbie accessories ($5) was a separate score.
I was gone for several hours, so Rich took the girls to see Dolphin Tale…like this. Boots…athletic shorts…t-shirt…hair brushed?
They came home happy and healthy, so I can’t complain.
