Garage Sale Treasures

My hubby and I LOVE going to garage/yard sales! It is "our thing" we do every saturday morning spring & summer. It's like a treasure hunt to us. Here are the treasures we found this weekend...

My mother in law bought me one of these vintage wear-ever cookie guns several years ago and it reminded me of making christmas cookies as a little girl with one my mom had. I love it! Now my daughters have the same memories.They love making cookies with this! I bought my 23 yr old daughter a battery operated cookie press gun last christmas and she said it didn't work good.....so when I found this I snapped it up for her. I think I'll surprise her with it around the holidays this year. Paid $5 for it at our local flea market.

Found this christmas tree at the Salvation Army for $4. I plan on painting the urn a creamy white and dressing up the tree for my bedroom during Christmas.

Now on to my FAVORITE find!!! I have seen such great makeovers on vintage barrel cane chairs, so I was delighted to find these at a garage sale. They were marked $15 each, but we got them for $7.50 each because there was a broken section (which is fixable)

I am thinking of having them reupholstered in a tan linen looking fabric or maybe a cool aqua color...not quite sure yet. They are pretty comfortable! May use them in my sitting room/office which is off of my bedroom.

I'll be sure to show you how they look after the makeover.
