Putting my yard sale goodies to work for me...

On Sunday, Spotty and I showed you these goodies that I picked up at a yard sale last weekend; at that time I promised to share where I used some of these treasures...

The Wicker Planter: Even though I'm still not crazy about the color, I'm leaving it alone for now (although Coralie must have been reading my mind when she suggested painting it a nice cottage white because that was my first thought, too!!)... It's perfect for the oversized pot I plant my basil in every year. (And one of our little Chips, who happened to be on a peanut run, asked if he could be in the photo, too!!)

Pyrex Ovenware: Turns out it's also the perfect size for the salads I make to go with our supper most evenings!

Tea Kettle Timer: The timer has made its home in a corner of the kitchen counter for the time being...

Green Fringed Rug: I'm loving it in front of the sink right now...

... but I can think of so many other places throughout the house where it will also be used...

Have a happy Friday, everyone!.............

The early bird....

...(and that would be me) got some pretty cool stuff at a yard sale Saturday morning (and for next to nuthing, which is the great thing about yard sales!)... Rhoda at Southern Hospitality is also sharing her great chandelier find and has a list of lots of other yard-saling bloggers sharing their recent finds, so be sure to stop over there when you're done here!


...and look who was right there to check everything out the minute it came into the house!


This big wicker planter will be perfect out on the deck (hubby loves the gray stained color, but I'm not sure I'm digging it); the wire shelving unit on casters is exactly what I need to organize some supplies in my office...


L-o-v-e these fringed scatter rugs (and in my favorite blue and green color combination that I posted about yesterday!!) Perfect for the kitchen or entryway...

Okay, how cute is this little 'stainless steel' tea kettle timer? And this 3 quart glass Pyrex casserole/serving dish is going to get lots of use!

So in the end, Spotty approved of all my purchases and told me he's anxious to lay (shed) on the scatter rugs as soon as they come out of the wash! I'll show you where I ended up using everything in a post later this week!!

Happy Sunday, everyone!
