There were about a dozen garage sales on Saturday and a friend and I went to most of them, but there wasn't much to be found. Here is what I did get. The yellow primitive table did make it worth it. The Cinderella dress is for preschool. I bought the rake to use for one of the cute rake projects they showed in the current issue of Country Living (is it my imagination, or are they starting to show more junk make-overs now that Country Home is done?).
Here is a chair I redid. I forgot a before picture of the whole thing, but it was wood with this nasty seat cover (look, my grass is trying to get green!):

Thanks--the fabric was from JoAnn's--the flat folds, leftover decorator fabric.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you about Country Living doing more trash to treasure projects. I don't recall that they did many in the past.
ReplyDeleteLove the prim yellow table!
