I haven’t been out to yard sales for over a month. I’m not sure why, but I just haven’t been in the mood and we’ve had other things going on. This week, though, there was the Rt 30 yard sale in New Oxford, PA, so I set out with my mom, husband, Sean, Emily and the boys and we found some great stuff. The best haul of the day was probably this antique wooden tool box…
I also bought a set of antique French pate knives for $10…
…two Sterling silver salt shakers for $5/each…
..and a few other things. I didn’t find any great furniture, which was a good thing, since we had a van full of people. Emily had never been to yard sales before and she found a couple of cool things (some slate pieces from a roof and a vintage desk chair to use in her dorm at school.) It was nice to be on the hunt again.
Between some of the meetings and other business things I’ve had to take care of, I’m trying to fit in some painting here and there . Painting’s very therapeutic for me. I’m currently working on a sign for my living room…
As I was chalking out the design (on a board I painted in Shutter Gray in my Milk Paint), I realized that milk paint is a great chalk board surface. I wrote and erased my design several times.
Ah-ha! Now I have an idea…
