This year I was on a tight budget so I decided to check out my local Goodwill store and voila! I found some real treasures there and a real good price (CHEAP)! Let me show you some of my fabulous finds...

The Roseville green pot was $8.00 and the greenery was only 59 cents, I filled the pot with my Christmas greenery with tiny ginger bread men.

My white $16.00 tree not bought from Goodwill but at a local store was decorated by ornaments and white icicles I already had! A garage sale white planter holds the base with a Christmas garland surrounding the planter was 50 cents at another sale!

The green Christmas wreaths from Goodwill were 50 cents each, I just decorated with wooden smalls I had from some old window garland, now to get some plaid Christmas ribbon to hang from the windows (next year plan). The ball jar was only 50 cents, I changed the bulb inside and put a small grapevine wreath to hang from the ribbon surrounded by a Christmas wreath I already had!

The small Christmas tree was only $1.00 from Goodwill also, it had some ugly garland and broken lights on it, which took me 2 hours to dismantle, to turn the tree into a simple tree adorned by wooden stockings and the white wreath was also a garage sale find for only $1.00.

The two small Christmas trees, I had just covered in small lights and stuck in a primitive wooden box. Inside the box I put old spools of yarn and twine to give it a more primitive look! There you have it,my simple Christmas this year. I hope I gave you some ideas for next year... I will try to keep my blog updated for the New Year!

I could not believe my lucky day when I found this wicker table at the curbside! It was dirty and had some ugly paper attached to the bottom shelf but after some elbow grease and sanding, I was able to paint and it turned out pretty good. It was in really good shape, some of the wicker was missing around the legs and trim but the tabletop and shelf below were solid so I was happy with the results! If you saw this in a antique store it would cost around $75.00 easy!

Went to the annual Unionville Flea Market this Saturday with my friend Pat, it was much nicer this year than the past 2 years, the weather was great and there was much more vendors! Here are some primitive treasures I found there!

Olde farm sale

My first sale on a farm this weekend and I just loved it! There is something to being out in the country surrounded by the old chippy white buildings listening to the roosters, laughing with good friends.. priceless! I did not care if I did not make a lot of money, I was just happy to be able to get the experience of being there!

Now I truly believe the saying, "one man's trash is another man's treasure"! I found this old dresser on the side of the curb on my way home from work one day last week! I could not believe it! Nothing was wrong with it! The drawers were all in good condition..I just replaced the drawer handles to a more country look! I just love it!

I found this rusty old filing cabinet at

an estate sale, it had some good bones, no dents and the rust was just surface rust. With a lot of elbow grease and time, I was able to sand, wash, and paint the cabinet within a few hours and now I love it! It can be used for many purposes...bathroom storage, kitchen to hide all those utensils or just for a sunporch to put all your garden accessories! Of course, if I had my way, it would be on a enclosed porch or garden filled with different herbs and flowers! How cool!
