have in common?
Give up? One paper sack. One dollar. Huh? You may say. I had heard about a church rummage sale that was happening on Saturday. Unbenownst to me, it had actually started on Thursday and Saturday (the last day) was the "Fill a bag for a buck" day! So all I got the above mentioned for ONE DOLLAR!

I thought the shelf would look cute in my craft/spare bedroom. Look at the little spool details:


As I was walking out of the church, one of rummage sale workers was hawking the goods outside. I couldn't pass up these:

a card table and drawer organizer

another shelf

for the low, low price of FREE! I asked the guy if he was serious, lol. He even had his granddaughter carry the table to my car since I had my arms full with the bag of stuff and my purse. The card table needs some paint, but other than that, it still has lots of life left it.

Ya'll know how I like re-purposing items, right? Last year, I picked up these spice jars at a garage sale for 10cents each.

When I bought them, my thought was to use them for storage -- buttons, pins, charms, etc. All 12 of these fit perfectly on the shelf with the spools on top!
