Garage Sales

I normally don't go sailing on a Sunday, but there was a neighborhood sale so why not. Here are my finds.

I have a collection of these, so why not add to it, at 2 bucks can't go wrong.

Love this, can't wait to do something with it.  I was thinking getting some kind of screen and using it as a food cover, I could have used it for Jeena's gathering, or I can use it to cover my strawberry plant's the bird's are getting at them.

I hope you can see this, it's a wire shelf.  Cost $1.00 good deal if I do say so myself.

I'm hoping to put this to use on my potting bench. It looks like a tiny sink, but I believe it's used for horses.

While I was outside I noticed I'm getting oranges. 

I have a little color  blooming.

I had been so busy with Jeena that I didn't get a chance to share what I did with these chairs.   I have 4 and I have been wanting to recover them for a while it wasn't until I was getting ready for Jeena's graduation that I went ahead and did it.

I purchased this sometime ago with these chairs in mind.

I could have replaced the seat but I really didn't have any time.  This should do for now.

Painted them black and now there all dressed up and ready for the par-tay!

Purchased these plants.

Got the burlap out.

Found this at a garage sale for $2.00.

Added the burlap till I got it just right.

These look so sweet and delicate.

Love the green on these leaves.

I really like the variegated ivy.

I just need to hang it above my tea cart and It's ready to go.

Well that's what I been up to, my GF has been booked for a wedding so I'll be helping her the 29th I'll make sure and take plenty of pic's.  Stay tuned for more of my life in 1000sqft.

With all my heart,

Celebrating Jeena

My daughter Jeena graduated last week so I threw this little gathering for her, as I stated in my previous post we couldn't decide on what to do or when to do it so, we decided to just do something for the people who were going to her graduation. 

The menu consisted of:

Turkey & Ham sandwiches

Pasta Salad

Ambrosia Salad

Cup cakes

Marshmallows

I made the garland with some leftover  yellow, white and black fabric and I also used some tulle I had.

Had to have cup cake toppers.

I used this sign over the dessert table which I forgot to get a pic of.

I used my potting bench to set up the sandwiches and salad's

I decided to use my tea cart for the drinks I made lemonade and Ice tea.

I set up the chalk board so her guest could sign it like a year book.

I put the sandwiches in this and put the labels on.

The Lemonade

Woo Hoo, there's my jar the cost me 75 cents.

I put lot's of apples and oranges in the Ice tea.

 a must have- the marshmallows look so sunny in yellow!

 Hung the garland on the potting bench window.

So here is the setup sorry about the pic's but I was trying to be the hostess with the most-ess and I was busy doing this and that so the pic's are towards the end of the night.

The drink station, the white dish is were I put the ice.

I wanted to share a pic of my chair all painted up.

This was the chalk board at the end of the night.

GRADUATION

They're getting ready to throw their hat's

Yeah! officially graduated.

Graduating with honors.

Congrats Baby Girl!!!

May the Lord bless you and guide

 you, may he give you the desires of your heart.

Stay tuned for more of my life in 1000sqft.

With all my heart.

Garage Sale Finds

Hello friends,

I have been so busy, haven't had a moment to post.  I've been preparing for my daughters Prom and graduation.  We couldn't decide when or what to do for her, but we finally got it together and I got busy planning for a small gathering at our house. I'll share that in a future post.  Today I wanted to share my garage sale finds for last week. There was a church rummage sale, oh how I love those, so here it goes.

Got this sweet old coffee pot, I'm putting it to work out in the garden.

Love me some old silverware, even if it only silver plated.

I especially like it when it has an initial, don't you?

I needed a big container for the graduation party I found this under a table love it! cost 75 cents!

I couldn't get that label off so I just covered up with a chalkboard sticker. Now it's ready to go to the par-tay.

The best buy of the day, can you guess what this is? well the back story is, the rummage sale was set up very well, they had a section for clothes one for house ware's one for garden stuff well, you get the picture I also needed some light's for the patio because I knew we were going to be out side and I found some for $1 yeah baby I was on a roll, then... sloooowly I turned and what did I spy with my little eye......

This great chair!!!!! and it won't be red for long cause this baby is gonna get painted white!  now listen up this beauty cost a whole $2 dollars SCOOOORE!

I was out back trying to figure out how to set up and Look what sprung up!

Aren't these beautiful, so royal.

I choose to go with the colors yellow and black for the graduation party.

I decided to make a fabric garland for the food and drink tables.

Got my handy dandy twine for this project.

Added these to the garland.

They kind of ended up looking like little tassel's

Well that's what I've been up to, stay tuned for more of my life in 1000sqft.

With all my heart.
