HAPPY, HAPPY MONDAY...
The starting of what I believe will be a FANTASTIC week for all of us....
** 
Old metal cracker tin...
It might look cute with flowers...especially fresh ones from the garden...
I really fell in luv with these old scales..
For now, I just have them in my bookshelves...
Really cute rooster tray for a dollar...
I was able to find a FABULOUS garage sale this week...
Came away with a few things that I really liked...nothing that will end up making me a MILLION dollars...
(I read once that a lady bought an old paint by numbers painting at a sale, got home and behind it was another painting by that fella that cut his own ear off...!! Worth thousands.!!)
**
Well, I really had fun, anyway!!

Old metal cracker tin...I actually remember buying crackers in these tins...
I just gave 25 cents for this one....

It might look cute with flowers...especially fresh ones from the garden...but I actually am using it for ..............
CRACKERS !!
CRACKERS !!

I really fell in luv with these old scales..$2.00
Mr. Sweet thinks they were used in measuring meds at an old drug store...
I tried to Google it but couldn't find any that looked close to these.

For now, I just have them in my bookshelves...I really can't think of much to put on them...actually, I like them just as they are !

BJ, you got some wonderful deals and great finds during your garage sale travel. I love the scales, and they are absolutely perfect right where they are.
God bless.
Evening, BJness! I love all your great finds! The cracker tin looks great with the flowers! The Rooster tray - you get tired of it - send it to moi! :) The bench is YOU! Oh, you did good, sweet friend.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I was in a yard sailing mood this weekend. I found THE most perfect little chest of drawers for $5.00. I got home, opened the garage door, backed the SUV in the driveway and put my find right smack dab in the middle of the garage. Within 3 hours it was sanded, primed, and covered with 2 coats of the most beautiful white paint. It is in the guest room but the poor thing is going to sit in the middle of that room for at least a week. Lately that room has become the overflow from the sewing room. Hmmm, I wonder if I should have a yard sale. LOL
Have a blessed week!
BJ, You did very good....I have never gone to a garage sale, but they are in my future. The rooster try will be great for the Rooster Party on the 28th.
Have a Great Monday.
Barbara
Great finds this week BJ!!!
Ah, I love the scales! A girlfriend of mine found some at a garage sale and I've been on the lookout ever since! Great stuff. :)
Hello Beautiful BJ. You always make everything look so lovely and inviting! You just have that touch!
Thank you for your sweet encouragement concerning my parents.
Love to you!
Beth
Wow, I think you hit the jackpot, all of your finds are real treasures. I have one of those cracker tins also, such fun, the tray is stunning and the architectural piece is so pretty. The scales are very different and I just love scales, yours is beautiful. Glad you had such a great time. Hugs, Marty
Wow, BJ! You made out like a bandit! Great finds. I can't believe you got those scales for that great price. I love those and all the rest of your finds. Cute stuff all!

BJ: I am in love with EVERYTHING you got. We have such similar taste. Love your shelves full of the Readers' Digests, too! I hope you've read them and they're not just for show. Be sure to check out my book giveaways.
I want to find the place where you go g-saling....I never find good stuff--CHEAP--like YOU did! Whoa, girl, you are so ready for The Rooster Party with that tray! Then you add that wonderful polka dot chest! Too much fun for you! I sure enjoyed your shopping trip. And you just reminded me that I need to dig out the VERY SAME CRACKER TIN I bought at a g. sale last year--but for $1.00. See, you have great deals where you are!
Happy Monday! L, Dana

I don't know what I like the most! I remember the cracker tin from when I was little. I love the rooster tray, anything with roosters, (and your rooster paintings) My Mother used to have a scale similar to yours. Well done.
Cindy
BJ, you were certainly in the right place at the right time. Those scales are a treasure, indeed -- I've seen similar ones in antique shops for close to $100. I love your rooster tray, too.
Hope your Blue Monday is a happy one.
Hi BJ !
I love your rooster stuff...I hope you are doing Barb's rooster party later this month - I wanna see more !
Kammy
Hi, you totally stole those scales for $2!!! And I love all your finds, that rooster tray would fit right into my kitchen *smiles*
Wow, you're the garage sale super shopper. Great finds!
I love a good sale. But I should be having one instead of going to other people's.
You must have the "eye". Your sale forays bring treasures, mine not so much. These are wonderful finds. I hope you enjoy them.

My. You found some great deals. I went to an estate sale, and purchased just a few things. The house was so full, it was almost impossible to see everything. But it was fun!!
Happy Blue Monday....love all your pictures today, my favorite is the snack tray photos...I love snacks too!
Cute finds!
I have the same cracker tin, which I bought new as a bride in the 1950s. I've always kept my crackers in it - nice and fresh and crisp!! That scale really caught my eye. That was a great find. Have a good week. Sally
Hi BJ....wow, great finds. I love, love those scales....oh, what you will be able to do with those. And, the rooster things.......LOVE!!!!!!!
Hugs, Barb :-)
Great deals and clever to include so many parties in one post.

That black and white storage chest is YOU for sure. I did, in fact, hear a scream of joy!
Now, I like those scales best. Adorable.
Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
Hello BJ!
I love your finds! I too think the old cracker tin will be perfect for holding flowers.:o) I love yard sales, so much fun!! Wishing you a beautiful week my friend.
Smiles...
Beverly
Hi BJ, looks like you got quite a find at the yard sales this week! Love that scale too!
xxxooo
Marilyn
oooh, great idea! You and I must hit some garage sales one Saturday when the gettin' is good. Tell me when, k?
The scales were a fabulous find!
Hi BJ
you did sooo well with all your finds. The scales are so neat. Could you put a plant on each side? Share with us what you do with them.
I love the chest too...and the rooster tray. You've had fun and thats a great day!!
Judi
bj! I'm under the suspicion that you have a good time no matter what you're doing! You got some great treasures for sure! Enjoy!!
Hi BJ,
What wonderful finds! I love all of them but especially the scales.
Happy Monday to you.
hugs,
Barb
The garage sales was my Mom's favorite thing when she visited the USA. Saturday morning would be the time she was waiting whole week. She doesn't speak English but was always able somehow to negotiate deals - I speak the language but was never able to do what she did - must be a special skill - to find treasures at sales.
Well Happy Blue Monday to you too, Miss BJ!!
I just LOVE your bright attitude and outlook and YES this week is going to be a GREAT one, I can just feel it, too!
Growing up, we had one of the Premium Saltine tins, too. I am going to ask my mom if she still has it:)
I love that bench, too~~cute!
Have a Enchanting evening!
Hugs,
Lynn♥
~Let FREEDOM Ring!~
Love the cracker tin...and your sweets vignette..very nice!!!
love, kelee
Good evening BJ. You have found yourself some wonderful treasures. Are you going to join the rooster party that is going on in blogland? I thought of you with all those neat roosters you have displayed. Happy Blue Monday.
Wow, very nice finds.
I like the cracker tin! What a nice collection of stuff here. :D
This is one garage sale! You took home with you not just one but lots that you really really like :-)
And you save the best for last. A black and white polka dot. You really did try not to be too excited about it, telling your other wonderful finds. :-) Bet you can't just wait till the end to really mention it. :-)
Happy Blue Monday!
Li
Good Deals ......
Oh yeah, you hit the mother lode!!!! That scale is just too cool, and I love where you've put it. Nope, I wouldn't put anything on it. Leave it as-is. And the rooster tray is SO you!
Justine :o )
Beautiful....your whole blog. And love the two rooster paintings.
My R T is posted...the "Lady in Red". Come by for a visit if you have time. Happy Tuesday.
What wonderful finds! I remember my mom buying crackers in those tins and the rooster tray is so you! (and me:>) The scales are cool too, you got some great deals!
You made out GREAT at the garage sale! What terrific treasures. I think I like the rooster tray the best and it is perfect for you. So is that polka dot storage box. I just love Big Lots.
I haven't done hardly any garage sailing this year due to finances and because I moved into a much smaller place and just don't need more stuff! But in your case, there was someplace perfect for everything you bought.
At least with working finally, the finances will get better. I'm loving my job!
Kady
Everything looks fabulous! But I really love, love, love that rooster tray, girlfriend!
Grins! Pamm
Wow! I love all of it! That scale is so interesting..will be a good conversation piece..
I bet you could weigh PECANS on it!!
Great bargains, Miss BJ!
