My youngest daughter. Mandy came home from college this weekend and was itching to go junking. I had not planned on doing so, but she is only going to be home for 2 weeks, so I decided, why not, it was a beautiful day, so off we went. It was my first treasure hunt of the season. We went to five yard sales. Most had lots of kids toys and clothes, but the best one we found wasn’t advertised in the paper, we just saw it as we drove by. That is where I got the urn and the jars. I didn’t want to spend too much, but did snag a few deals for myself.
This blue canning jar was $1.50. There were a few different types, but I liked this one best.
Iam so excited about theses baskets… I have plan for them. You are going to have to wait and see.
I collect white plates and pottery. This urn was only $2.00 I can use it as is…no transformation required. I already have found a home for it.
I have no idea what I am going to do with these, but I could not pass them up at $1.00 for a bag full.
I think these lights- never used, were from Target. A real steal at $3. They seem to be unwanted as there is a Goodwill sticker on the box with the price of $6.99. I plan to hang them on my pergola. I think they will look rather festive at night.
50 cents… looks like something I would buy at Pottery Barn for about $18.00
A metal dishwasher basket that was also 50 cents. I think I may use it in my studioffice.
I can’t pass up vintage earrings, I make other things with them- like bracelets. If you haven’t seen the details for my bracelet giveaway, you can check, here.
As you can see, the urn has found a home housing hand-towels in my foyer bath. Looks pretty against the flowered wallpaper don’t cha think? I am thrilled with this new addition. I think it was my best find of the day.
I get some of my best ideas at night, so I always have a pen and paper on my nightstand. The blue jar looks perfect in my blue and white bedroom. 
I had a fun day with my daughter, Mandy - we already have plans to go to the once monthly flea market next Saturday in Cedars, Pa. The stuff there is usually a little pricey, but it will still be fun and you never know what you may stumble upon. Have you found any great deals lately?

Hey, Diane, I love your treasures! We def. have the same taste in some of it, as I have several of those blue jars & you know how I feel about white dishes. In fact, I think I have that SAME white urn. They are so versatile to use around the house.
Thanks for joining the party!
Hi Rhoda-
I am so happy that I finally got to join your party. I haven’t had any junkin hauls to write about until now. It is fun going thru your link ups and seeing all the fun finds. The saying is so true – That one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.

WOW I would LOVE to have found those little metal molds. Been looking for them down here and can’t find any.

Hi Marilyn-
Carol who commented below had an idea for the little molds. What do you use them for? I haven’t come up with an idea yet.
Diane
I think they are brioche molds. They are adorable!
Thanks, I figured they were some sort of baking item. You are right, they are adorable.
Our yard sales are consistently over-priced here in Northern Virginia–so I was thrilled when I found a huge chalk board for $1 on Saturday.
Hi Tracey-
Isn’t it the best feeling to find a great deal. Is the chalkboard something you can use as is, or do you have to revamp it?
Diane
I have seen people use those little jello molds for cute little pin cushions, all stuffed and then covered in fabric and fluffed with ribbon and lace! Great find!
Carol
What great finds! I love the urn!
Hi Carmie-
The urn is my fav too…and it needs no transformation. I just had to clean it.
Somewhere online I saw those little tart molds nestled upside down inside of the lid/ ring top of a canning jar. Like a hat. It was darling. If you try it, please let me know.
