Since I’ve been scouting out sales for items for my booth at the antique mall and for my Etsy shop, I’ve found lots of things I’ve bought for my home.

Recently I found these two pretty butterfly prints tucked away at the Salvation Army Family Store. They are the perfect size for a little nook near my desk!

Then the same week, I found these pansy prints at a local garage sale. The frames were a little too ‘gold’ so I used Rub n Buff to tone them down a bit. Now they are hanging on a bare wall in my bath. IMG_1936

Have you found any 2nd Time Around treasures lately? Tell us about them!

2nd Time Around: Navtivity

Since I’ve opened my booth at the antique mall, I’m always seeing things I would love to have as you might suspect! This large nativity was a recent purchase from a booth next to ours. The lady that operates this booth works in the store every Monday, and often that is the day I drop by to add new things.

I’ve always wanted a big nativity and this one was 1/2 price. What is it about those words that make us think we are getting a bargain? This set was priced at $34 and I got 1/2 off-so I don’t think it was much of a bargain, but every now and then we have to splurge-right???

Here are some closeups that feature the details. This year I think it will be on the sideboard! Thanks for stopping by!

2nd Time Around: Another Chalkboard

Recently I wrote about my booth at the Antique Mall. Since I’ve been buying so much to go in it, and creating crafts with Karen, a friend of mine, we decided to try an Etsy store. The picture below is one of the chalkboards I’ve made-from a repurposed picture frame.

 So far we’ve had 4 sales in the store, which is not bad considering that we just started it on Thursday! You can view our other vintage items and crafts by clicking on the link to the left. We have lots more to add….just got to have the time!
