Sour Cream Update

I recently blogged about reading an article in Martha Stewart about collecting sour cream glasses(Link).  I never thought I would find one...but I blogged about my first yellow one and now I found another!  My birthday was last week and I went antique shopping in Landrum, NC.  On the way I passed this farm house with these two old guys having a yard sale (by the way it was Thursday).   I got this glass for 25 cents! 





I was very dirty but cleaned up great!  I also had a very long conversation with the two old men about tattoos.  They liked my Rosie and told me they wanted woody the wood pecker, and the other one wanted a monkey with a lawn mower shaving the chest hair off his chest! 


And this was my birthday present to myself...

                   Pyrex

Price...Paid too much! :-)

Couldn't Turn It Down

Sooo...this weekend My sister and I went to a yard sale(twice) that was about four houses down from my parents house.  The first time I left with these two vintage yellow tables.  Which I might add were only $1 each!!! 


 Sorry for the bad cell phone picture.
I plan to paint them, I will post pictures of the finished product.  As we were leaving the first time, I see them putting out a door, yes a door.  We left and my sister convinced me to go back about 45 mins later because I wouldn't stop talking about how I needed the door ha.  When we get there I hear the lady tell someone that the door is $2.  TWO DOLLARS for a door....yep.  My sister and I carried this door down the side of the road to my parents house, because it would not fit in the car.

Now I have a $2 door.  I WILL find something fabulous to do with it!
