I heart Estate sales!

My dear bloggie friend Ali over At My third true love  gave me this site, estatesales.net. It tells you about all the estate sales in your area, I am hooked! Thanks Ali, hahaha.

I haven't really bought anything big, just little odds and ends. The best deals are on the last day of the sale, thing's are usually marked down to 50-75%!

Here's a few goodies I picked up on my first trip.

 

 

 Great vintage napkins

 I have a thing for handmade doilies, i can't help it!
Maybe I need an intervention, hahaha.

 I picked up these really old, glass herb jars

For my new spice rack.

 I found these little pig cut outs, It's just screaming" make me into a chalkboard!"

So I did...

 And last but not least...My favorite!

crocheted clothes hanger!

I got two whole boxes for $2! I love them! I love that someone spent so much time, doing something they loved by making them. And now they sit in my closet. 

Great buys!

Chalk baord hevan!

If You know me at all, you know I love, love, love  chalkboards! I love making them, giving them away, and making more, hahaha. My house is full of them. If there is a possibility that something can be turned into a chalkboard you better believe I'm doing it!

With that said...I found a new site I wanted to share, You may know about it.

Chalkydoodles

They also carry a lg assortment of oil cloth items, which I also love.

That's all...

Have a blessed weekend and happy 4th!

So if You know anything about me, you know I HEART Chalk boards! I have 7 in my house ( just a Little obsessed ) I love that I can write the random thought that fly through My head down in what ever room of my house I'm standing in. That is very valuable to a mom that home schools.

Chalk board 1. Kitchen( all my household task's, what I'm cooking, shopping list, etc. )

Chalk board 2. The kids easel( usually in the kitchen to assist with school work or in the playroom for circle time )

chalk board 3. play room ( this one is in the shape of a giant butterfly on the wall. I use it to post our daily routine )

Chalk board 4. living room coffee table( I love to write little welcome messages to guest,  love notes to my family, count downs to a holiday,  keep score for games we play or just let the kids go for it)

Chalk board  5. My Girl's bedroom door ( I like to write prayers for them on it or encouraging things about them or any kind of reminders )

Chalk board 6. My craft room ( I painted the side of my filing cabinet with chalk board paint and because it already metal it's magnetic too! I like to write down bible verses that inspire me ) 

Chalk board 7. In My bedroom ( Okay I think this is the newest addition to the bunch and it's sooooo cute! I write love notes to my hubby, it's okay you can say it, everyone together....Awwwwe! I know it's sweet )

Just so He won't forget....

   

My next chalk board creation will be for outside, I need one for all My gardening thoughts.
