Baby, It's HOT Outside!

 I don't know about some of my blog friends, but here in Alabama, we are "smoldering"...& in Southern lingo "burning slap dab up!"  That is why the Cranky Queen snatched this fun little magnet up @ a yard sale for a dime on Friday...Hot flashes have a totally new meaning right now!

Silver plate & Jesus pic (I adore Religious icons!)








Loved this little cherub...fun patina & only 50 cents!





         


I thought that I could do a "makeover" on this Toothpick Holder. Another dime....And the enamel pins from the 1970's~30 cents!















6 little tea bag holders...another bargain & oh so cute!
This is another "re-do project". I may paint it white & decoupage some cute graphic on it...will have to show you a "before & after" when I finish. Projects are stacking up @ the castle!







More craft supplies~All for $2.00..."smoking prices!"
The piece on the left had an old dried flower arrangement in it that I discarded & w/ a little Goop Gone, it cleaned right up. The item on the right is the "HOT ITEM" of the weekend~a  jewelry box w/ a carnival glass lid from the Salvation Army & only 50 cents. I broke out in a sweat when the lady told me the price...

 I like any type of wrought iron & w/a new paint job... Perfect!





I collect vintage turkeys, so this older wax candle is for the Queen only!
Too hot to play, but aren't these awesome~1 buck!
Another wire basket...vintage door knobs will display great in it! The ceramic ball will go in the Queen's garden! I love blue...
Even with the heat, the Cranky Queen "chilled out" when she received her RAK envelope (Random Acts of Kindness). Yes, Karen from Karen's Monday Musings, was my RAK swap partner.  She mailed me a package of great goodies for crafting and creating! All this fun was planned by Tee over at The Altered Paper





Look at all the goodies that Karen sent! WOW!
Are these envelopes not just fab!
So Tell Me About Your Bargains This Weekend?!?
STAY CALM & KEEP COOL!
