well, I could've sworn I posted to this thread..but I don't see my comments,lol!....Beautiful plates, I would've gotten them myself,not sure if to decorate or mosaic with...just got my china cabinet back from the finisher,whoohoo!!...Sorry to hear of your troubles SusieSunshine, I hope all is well now... I haven't been "yard-saling" or shopping at my "gettin' place"s..but one sister has been bringing me treasures for my art works, like sky blue feathers from her bird, beads,charms, old jewelry, etc., and another sister bought me a wine-making kit from a yard sale, she just brought a huge box full of bags of fresh corks,too, I suppose I'd better actually make some wine instead of a HUGE bottle tree :P'''....another sister got me a Japan blue willow cup and saucer for my tea cup bird feeder chandeliers...Thanks to whoever mentioned goodwill online, because I LOVE it; I've only spent $17.99 in the last couple months and bought 2 silver plated teapots, sugar and creamer, so no gas money spent, no heat to deal with and it was delivered right to the front door..they're for mosaic'ing...I've been making altered art collages and Artist Trading Cards..so much fun..I killed my digital camera,the lens won't close all the way,or come out all the way(what's up with that??) and gave some away without taking pics, so don't know if I can take any pics, this cell phone doesn't take the best pics,either.lol....and babysitting youngest grandson from morning til night keeps me too busy for much.....

Love the flour sacks! We picked up a small cast iron skillet at a GS this summer too, for 50 cents!

It was a great vacation but lots of work at my moms. I have in mind totems, mini garden items. BUT I love the yellow and blue plate...how about that on top of the huge bottle as a bird feeder...I wanted to glue to the top of the bottle but it might fall over...so will glue it to the bottom of the bottle and use a pole or rebar in the ground for support. I think the white shutters may go in my bedroom as a faux window since I have some big ones in the front big window and 4 shorter ones I use as a screen. I think the black wrought iron candle holder might hold some tiny pots or maybe some small balls with gems.

Did you have room in your vehicle for people or did you take a trailer?

Room in the car, now that was debatable. Took my daughters 4dr small mitisubishi. I had the back seat full of couch cushions for my sister to use on some deck chairs and had tucked in a lap top, my hand saw, my drill, my drill bit and my tool tote, lol. Mother never has tools available. And the back had 3 back packs full of baby books and things for my sons baby due in December, a back pack full of material and lace for my DS to make doll dresses with. I took a gift as always for my DSs and DM and aunts (this time I took the mushrooms from 99c store here. And I put my two small suitcases inside the trunk also. I had my two coolers with drinks on ice and some eatin goodies up front with me and the maps and such.

So on the return trip I had the back full of my treasures. This included grids and shutters. Back seat was a rolled up foam mattress I had loaned my mom, the chair and some of the big vases and my tools and the laptop. On the very bottom was the white shutters and the sign. Front was the same setup. Oh I had the bamboo and hickory pieces in the trunks also but had longer pieces in the passanger side of the car by the door. And my suitcases were in the back seat also. And the pillow and blanket that were there both ways. And I had room for soft things if I wanted to put in.
I am a crazy girl for sure.
