2nd Time Around: $2.00 steps

Welcome to 2nd Time Around. Please join us by linking a post that features something that is a 2nd Time Around to you…something from a garage sale, flea market, thrift store, estate sale, etc. Please link your post rather than your blog, and link back to this blog.

Last week I mentioned that my friend and I did a craft show. The day before I found this little bench at a yard sale for $2.00. It was perfect for displaying some of our stuff. I knew I could find something to do with it later, and decided to use it on my porch for my pumpkins! Later, after it gets a fresh coat of paint, it will be perfect on the porch for plants!

Here’s a pic with the flash…..

Feeding the ducks: Outdoor Wednesday

I know some of you are surprised that I’m actually doing a post and it’s not Tuesday! I have really been lazy about blogging lately…don’t know why cause I enjoy it when I spend time on it.

These pics were taken one Sunday afternoon when my mom and I took Connor and Cooper to feed the ducks. Connor has just turned seven and Cooper two. They are having a birthday party together on Sat!

 

Cooper is smiling one minute …..

 

And crying the next! I think one of the ducks was a little too aggressive!

And Connor is the same all the time-afraid of nothing at all!

2nd Time Around: Garage sale frames and Halloween Decor

Welcome to 2nd Time Around. Please join us by linking a post that features something that is a 2nd Time Around to you…something from a garage sale, flea market, thrift store, estate sale, etc. Please link your post rather than your blog, and link back to this blog.

I have been really busy with a craft fair that my friend and I did this past weekend. When she asked me to do it, I wasn’t sure what I could make that people might actually buy!

One of the things that I did was go through my stash of yard sale frames and see what I could ‘repurpose’ for the craft show. I paid a total of 75 cents for the picture frames below.

And I used an old scrapbook calendar to come up with some Halloween decor. The double frame was painted black and I used a witch with the word Boo on the other side….

For this one, I made the Happy Haunting on the computer. This scrapbook paper has a row of witch feet and hats and painted the frame black of course! This one is my personal favorite.

Of the Halloween pictures we made, this one is the only one that sold-for $3-after I marked it down. Excuse all the junk in the background. I should have cleaned off the craft table for the photo shoot! LOL

Although we sold only one Halloween picture, I did manage to sell some other stuff. 4 of the Christmas ones I made sold and also a chalkboard I made from a thrift store frame. Guess the people in our town don’t so much Halloween decorating! LOL

We did have fun, and although we certainly didn’t get rich, it was overall a great experience. And, I can use my ‘favorite’ one in my own home!

Thanks for stopping by!
