CHIPPY WHITE PAINT WEDNESDAY

     I AM LINKING THIS POST UP WITH FADED CHARMS WHITE WEDNESDAY OVER AT http://www.fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/.com//. BE SURE AND CHECK OUT ALL THE GREAT WHITE POSTS THAT ARE THERE TODAY AND COTTAGE CHARM FOR NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAY AT /http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com/ and http://www.coloradolady.blogspot.com/ FOR VITAGE THINGIE THURSDAY.

I REALLY DO LIKE CHIPPY WHITE PAINT. I SPOTTED THE BIRDCAGE AT A FARM SALE WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD SET UP. I WENT DASHING TO IT HOPING IT WAS NOT ALREADY SOLD. THE PRICE WAS $30.00. I DO NOT NORMALLY PAY THAT MUCH AT A YARDSALE, BUT THIS WAS A MUST HAVE. I OFFERED HER $20.00 THINKING THERE IS NO WAY SHE IS GOING TO TAKE THAT THIS EARLY IN THE DAY. SHE SAID SURE. I DID NOT WANT TO HAUL THIS THING HOME.
THE NEXT  PLANTER SITS ON MY PORCH IN FRONT OF A CHIPPY PAINT SCREEN. IT WAS ALSO PURCHASED AT A YARDSALE FOR ABOUT $5.00.
THE BOWL WITH SHELLS IN IT ON MY COFFEE TABLE IS A NEW ITEM, BUT HAS THAT OLD CHIPPY PAINT LOOK TO IT. OF COURSE IT ALSO WAS FROM A YARDSALE FOR A COUPLE OF DOLLARS. DON'T YOU JUST LOVE YARDSALES. ENJOY YOUR WHITE WEDNESDAY AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!!

    I love the birdcage, very unique! I have been looking for one for years on a stand. I will know it when I see it. I love bird cages period. Yard sale finds are the best!

    Hi, so nice to meet you. I am following you back! Love the white Wednesday post,I will have to go over there and check that out. I spent some time going through your blog. Your child's desk is a find of a lifetime, even at the price you told her to charge you. I love your daughte's gift to you. I should do that with my parent's home as they are both gone. Enjoyed my time here with you.

    Hi mom. The link wasn't working so I used my eye spy abilities and found the right one. I then broke into your blog and corrected it and deleted my first comment. I really missed my calling. ;). Love you, have a good day!

    I love your items and when they're bought as bargains, so much the better! Don't you just love yard sales and thrift stores. We even have freecycle in Michigan, which is even better.

    Thanks so much for your visit. Take care and have a blessed day!

    I love the beachy feeling your beautiful items give. My husband surfs, and we grew up by the beach, so we're both drawn to that look. That blue and white throw is beautiful too. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments too.
