This Is Why I Go To Garage Sales...

Recently I had a wonderful garage sale find... a beautiful old corner cabinet!  The back had a little separation of panels, which my husband repaired in about 5 minutes with a rubber mallet, and then 2 screws to hold the boards in place.  And it was $15!  Crazy, I know!  Finds like this are why I go to garage sales!


Beautiful leaded glass doors...



glass knobs...


A perfect place to store some goodies in our sunporch...








 It looks so pretty in a corner of the porch...




A pair of these window grates was in the free pile...




You really never know what treasures await...

I am joining~

Until next time...

    What a wonderful find! It's a beautiful cabinet and I love the leaded doors...lots of character! Free window grates aren't too shabby either...like the way you hung the clock on them. I'm due a good find...maybe soon. Best, Vicki

    Wow! I bought 2 cabinets like yours years ago in terrible condition and paid way more than you did! You sure have good sales in your area. It looks perfect in your porch filled with your vintage treasures!

    Oh my gosh, what a beautiful piece, Linda! I can't believe the price you got it for. Sometimes the furniture here is priced crazy at yard sales. These people think they are in an antique store selling furniture. Love, love the leaded glass doors. You've filled it with some pretty things that add a nice touch to your sun porch!

    I love old leather leaded glass doors, the feel of the worn weathered leather is so so different to new......& I spend ages restoring old leather chairs..

    That is crazy good! I miss a good yard sale heck i miss a good thrift ;) the midwest is amazing and still so full of good and cheap finds I need to come home for linens. I am running scarcely low and prices out here are insane.
    Your porch is just so lovely. What a peaceful place it must be to retire to in the evenings.

    Incredible! That's a wonderful piece. Your items look great In it. I agree about garage sales. When I have time, I'll be posting about the "Everything 75 cents" garage sale I went to last Saturday. Nothing as perfect as your cabinet, though.

    Your cabinet looks great! I love all the little things you have placed in there. The quilts and the blue glass! and of course the little needle point! All wonderful.
    I'm still on the look out for a 'grate' for my the wall behind my wood stove! I SO WANT to get something before next fall and possibly do a little something with the floor beneath it. Love the clock there.
