The first sale we stopped at this morning had tables full of baby clothes. Since I have no babies anymore on down the road we went. On the outskirts of the city there were a couple garage sales. The first one I stopped at didn't have much on the outside but I decided to get out and give it a glance anyway. When I got out of the car a little black poodle ran at me carrying on quite a commotion. I wasn't sure if it was going to bite me but when I realized that it was all bark and no bite I got quite a laugh at it's boldness. At this sale I did find one thing.
This purse cost me $1. At the next garage sale there were two adorable little Shih-tzu puppies. Growing up we owned a Shih-tzu named Fifi and seeing this lady's two babies brought back a lot of memories. From this garage sale I purchased two things.
I took a chance on this purple tablecloth. It was wrapped in plastic and you couldn't really size it up or see it too good. For $1 I figured it was worth taking the chance.
Also I found this little side table for $5. I'm going to give it a good coat of white paint and also DH is going to trim the bottom (about 1/2 inch) of the legs off a little due to some bad damage.
Next we went into the city to a few garage sales. Unfortunately, it was mostly a lot of baby stuff. I did, however, find this pair of shoes at one garage sales. Unfortunately, I need to start trying shoes on before purchase. They were marked 9 but when I got home and tried them on they felt more like a size 8. Oh well, for $1.50 I wasn't out much money and I'm sure I can find someone in the family they'll fit. They were brand new, never worn. Until next time . . .

Great finds..I wanted to go out this morning but it was raining and raining.
love that purse! I need to hit some garage sales! So exciting!
Hope you'll post the re-do of that little table because it was the bargain of the day. Thanks for stopping by to see what I did w/the oil rubbed bronze paint. It is a fav of mine to change a lot of less than pretty things!

Oh, gosh! I love your finds! The purse looks like it's in great condition and it's really cute. That's a shame the shoes don't fit, but you'll make someone else very happy with them. The table is really neat, too!

$1 Purse, $5 table, what a score! Love it! It was so rainy this weekend, I missed my garage sales because I just couldn't do the rain this time.
You found some fun things! That little table looks like a sweet project!
Have a beautiful Monday!

What a great little table to redo! And only $5. You can try some sandable wood filler for the damaged legs since you'll be painting it. I know if I tried to cut off 1/2 inch off 4 legs I would never get them even. I would end up with a stubby table!
I love your finds. Can't wait to see the little table when you're done. I have had three Shih Tzus and have to admit I'm partial. Two of mine have passed. I still have Freedom. You may have seen his picture on my blog. Taz is one of my angel furbabies. But I keep his picture on the blog.
Great finds. Thanks for the visit.
I love the side table - it would have so many to-read books in it if I had it!!
I love that purse! What a great find. You could keep them in your car for the next poodle that attacks you.
I LOVE the shoes!! I have a thing for red high heels; I even wore them under my traditional, fancy, big skirted wedding dress!
