It was 90 degrees in the shade and no breeze, but boy-oh- boy the deals were flyin!! I was one hot mama! Just look what I got!
This pretty little baby went straight to my booth.
She was already painted!!!! And just look at those sweet
key holed drawers....
And just when I thought I would die from the heat,
I saw this pink mirage and it turned out to be real!
Get a load of this hot pink cutie....
I'm hoping my booth will clear out a little and I'll set it up.
Don't you just love it!
I've had a few of these chairs just hiding away in closets waiting for some tender love and care. So, when I found this fabric at Walmart....yes I said Walmart, for $1.50 per yd, I recovered the chair and gave it a pillow. She is now very happy.
Doesn't this fabric look vintage?
I hurried back and got the rest of the bolt, couldn't help myself,
I know you understand, don't you?
One more find to show you and I'll let you go.
This mirror is that heavy plastic stuff and it was ugly gold!
Now look at it....
Hope someone likes it as much as I do and takes it home.
I'm linking up today with Linda's Coastal Charm Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays!......I know it's not really Tuesday, but hey,
this is blogland, we can make it anyday we want.
Be sure to go over to Linda's and see all the good stuff
hauled home, spruced up and handmade by our Bloggerette Sisters

I found a few items as well this weekend poking around the shops...but they are much smaller items than yours!! Lol..
Happy Hugs and Warm Smiles,

Sissie, The dresser is just too cute! Love the pink bed and your transformed mirror. I've been known to stand in the rain at an auction just to get that one great piece!
I like your new Fall header.

A white dresser and a pink bed.....I think that auction was held just for you!! Love your auction finds and even better since they were already perfect just the way they were.
Jane
Goodness Sissie what beautiful pieces you found while burning up. lol
I know it is funny what we do to buy some bargains.
Never have I found fabric that pretty at our Wal Mart. I don't blame you for going back for all of it.
I alwasy check their fabric when I go in so I now I know why,. lol
Love

I love auctions! I went to several this summer. Looks like your 5 hours of sweating paid off. Great finds and I love the fabric.
Have a great week! La
Oh My Goodness! What great finds! And already painted to boot! Lucky girl!
That fabric is beautiful ~ It sure does look vintage! And I'LL take that mirror, thank you! ;)
Hugs!

Despite the heat, it sounds like you had a great day:@) Lovin' the dresser, and the new fabric is really cute!

You always find such wonderful things Sissie, I need to find me some of those great auctions!
And that chair re-do, just fabulous! You are so very talented indeed!
Hugs,
Cindy
Hi Sissie,
You sure are one dedicated thrift hunter! I don't think I could have lasted 5 hours in that heat! But the dresser and bed, they are awesome! And I really love your white mirror (I am guessing it was Syrocco?). I love finding that stuff too and painting it up! Once painted, you would never guess it's plastic! Great job! Oh, and your chair is gorgeous! Love the fabric, you have such a good eye!
If you'll hang at an auction in 90 degree heat...remind me never to get in your way when you see something you want! Girl...that is dedication or crazy at it's best!
Love your deals especially that bed. I hope you sell a bunch too 'cause I want to see it set up and dressed up a la Sissie!
Debbie
P.S. I kept thinking of Wimpy saying "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!"...don't ask me why...I just did!
Well alrighty my little shabby white guru. You'd be right proud, as I've been giving myself a perky pick-up and painted my dining room table and chairs white, and had paint left over, so went for a book shelf and then an end table and am now waiting on them to get "chippy". Thanks for your inspiration. Love, Mollye
Hello, Sissie, my sweet friend,
Yes, that auction was definitely worth it!! Love the white dresser, pink spindle bed and newly painted white mirror, all just perfect for your wonderful booth. I love the material from Wal Mart such soft and charming colors and pattern. It looks terrific on your chair and pillow. I hope you have the happiest of weeks~love and hugs~Vicki
You just generally rock at everything girl! That pink jenny lind bed? Amazing.
There's only one Walmart left in my town that carries fabric, and that might be toast after the first of the year....so I'm grabbing up my utility fabrics right quick!
now that is definitly my kind of sale, gorgeous and already painted, they wont last for long!!!
I love love love that pink bed!!! And the fabric turned into pillows... gorgeous!!! Still can't believe you found that at Walmart!
Sissie I don't think these will last long in your booth. I think they will find new homes very soon. They are awesome!
Seriously, you got that fabric at Walmart? The Walmart nearest to me doesn't offer fabric, but one in Boise does. I love this!!!
hugs
Wow Sissie, I love everything you got today, plus the chair and fabric! It's all so awesome, I'm sure you'll have no problem selling them.

I would love for you to decorate one of the bedrooms in my house, Sissie! You have such a great eye!
Beautiful finds. Even the fun pink bed rail.

Fabulous finds, Sissie! Aren't you lucky! I really love the idea of painting the mirror frames white, I usually do gold or chrome, but I am LOVING the white, thank you for the fabulous idea! XX!

Hi Sissie,
My heart is just beating from looking at that fabric from Walmart...it's just what I'm looking for for a bench unfortunely our Walmart doesn't sell fabric anymore and you sure got it for a steal!
Love the dresser and the pink bed frame, just gorgeous! I painted two mirrors today made out of the same thing they turned out beautiful too♥
Wow Sissie, that fabric really does look vintage. So pretty!
I don't see how could take that beauty to the booth, it would have been so hard to let her go!
Have a wonderful week!
Hugs,
Anne

Sissie, it looks like you had a great time at the auction. They are a lot of fun. My favorite ones are the on site auctions. I think the prices are much better and a lot of fun.
Glad you did so well!
Debbie
Sissie, you got some great pieces and I hope they sell quickly for you. I love the fabric you used on the chair and pillow. It does look vintage and what a bargain.
Oh Sissie....Love that fabric and how you made the cushion and pillow! No wonder you went back to get the rest of the bolt! I wish I lived close to go to your booth! You have the best stuff!!!~Hugs, Patti
