I've been to yard sales and gotten a few goodies. Below is a large garden basket I got for 25cents, a brand new Pyrex quart measuring bowl for 50cents, old zinc canning lids 3/$1, fall potholders and oven mits, etc.
I got a Anchor Hocking pie plate for 50 cents.
A huge metal bowl which will come in real handy for 50 cents and Charley got a vintage hand drill for $2.
I'm going to make something out of this cute scarecrow Halloween outfit someone made from an old shirt and blue jean overalls, I'll post it when I finish.
And this baby quilt for only $1! It is hand applique and embroidered. Isn't it beautiful? I don't have a baby, but I couldn't pass it up.
My berries are finally winding down. I picked 3 quarts and made blackberry jam. I love blackberry jam! I also made and froze batches of spaghetti sauce with my tomatoes.
And, today we went to the WV State Honey Festival in Parkersburg.
There were lots and lots of honey products and lots of bee related items for sale. I went through this 1804 log house which they have made into a museum. I loved going through it. It was filled with period items that had been donated by people.
I felt like sitting down in this old rocking chair on the second floor and staying a while.
But the best part was getting to see my son and his wife at the Festival.
We've had a great weekend and wonderful weather.
Hope you have too.
