New addition to my dining room and garage sale finds!

Hubby and I did some garage sale-ing this weekend

(how do you write it?  Garage saling?)

hmmm

we did some shopping at some garage sales.

Even though I have an entire attic FULL of crap and need to have my own garage sale,

we both managed to find some other people's crap that we wanted to buy.

Hubby bought a broken computer suitcase

Which he promptly brought home and fixed.

It is super nice and would normally cost over $100

So he's pretty happy with his purchase.

I think he paid $5 for it.

But inside the suitcase the people had left a few things

and one of the things was this lovely picture which now graces my dining room wall

It must have been a souvenir from a trip

It was rolled in a little tube and has a certificate that says its on Egyptian papyrus

Whatever it is, I think its pretty!

And the colors are just right for my dining room.

What a bonus for that $5 suitcase!

I found a little side table that I liked a lot.

I forgot to take a "before" picture but it was brown with some scrolly painting on the top.

Not really my thing.

Now its blue.

I haven't decided what to do with it but it was fun to paint!

It cost me a total of $17 including paint.

nice.

I also have one other addition to my dining room

which I believe is just about done now.

My new sunburst mirror

Whatcha think?
