Bowling Ball Walkway

Tara and I hit the road early this morning searching out garage sale treasures. Along the way, we found this Bowling Ball Walkway someone had created.

Tara found an original lithograph for $1 and I bought a French poster (will be a present for my friend frequently vacationing in France) for $5.00. We found lots of jewelry, $1.00 a necklace. I know the beads alone are worth more than that! We found fabric and sewing notions. I bought three pattern-making books and lots of buttons.

Reproduction clown bank - free! Bags and bags of shells, beach glass, and other rocks - $1.00. Tara found these great paper mache bunny basket-things (for a $1.00) and we decided they would be a wonderful display for her collection of eggs for Easter. I found many St. Christophers, hung on a small, old rusty safety pins, 7 for $3.00. So all in all, we had a very fun, exhausting day full of cheap thrills.

Thanks everyone. It was really Charlotte that got me into the Gargage Sale mood, telling me about her finds! I did find some great Christmas Stocking stuffer things!

Love the bowling ball walkway! Don't know if we ever met in person, but I've heard about you all my life. Phyl's always said we had a lot in common, looks like we do from reading your blog. ;)
