Garage Sale and Flea Market Finds

We went "junking" on the weekend. I found a few fun items that put a smile on my face. The first is this cheque. There was a box full, but at $1 each I only bought 4. I really wanted more but I had to walk away. :)


Next is this camera.  I love it. It makes me smile every time I look at it. All the nobs and dials work. It slides in and out and closes perfect. I paid $10. I have no idea if that is a good deal or not but it really doesn't matter. I really wanted it.


My little shelf. A great find at $2. It's about 2 feet high and maybe a foot wide. It is going to be home to all sorts of treasures. :)




My last find of the weekend is this video camera. A great find at $3. Everything moves and works. The camera bag is in great condition, it still has the lens cap and inside the yellow box it the tin that the film reel came in. The film is long gone but it is nice to have the tin.



There you have it. My finds of the weekend. Do you like to go "junking"?? What has been your favorite find?

Oh Sheryl, Those are absolutely FAB finds. Love your style! My Dad would be shaking his finger at my Mom over those cheques, "I told your, Olive, we should never throw ANYTHING out"!!! Thanks for the laugh, but I know you'll make something wonderful and artsy with them. Way to go. B.

You can scan the cheques, put 4 to page and then copy them.
Prices sound good to me!

Fab fab FAB! My favourite find of the day was my $5 waffle iron. And some watches for Saucy. I didn't score anything too exciting scrap-wise. Next time! I did get a huge vintage tin that I am planning on dumping all my buttons into. I don't know if that's a good idea or not LOL.

WOw! I think you found some great finds...I mean the camera and video camera are like how old!? I can't believe you got them so cheap. I would look into how much they are worth...you might be surprised. I have a really old camera too....the kind you hold down at your waist and look through a little window for the photo that was my grandma's way back in the day and I keep thinking I should get it assessed too.

I love the picture of Kayne just enjoying the day. I knew I didn't want this layout to have a "little boy" feel to it but I didn't know what direction to go either. I definitely don't mind stepping out of my comfort zone so I tried some of Wilna's paint it mentality. I am not sure yet if I like the layout but I don't hate the results so I guess that is good. I will try painting again on future layouts as I did have fun creating this one. The chipboard letters have crackle paint,perfect pearls ink and glossy accents.

The Fall Issue of Canadian Scrapbooker is out!!!! It's on the shelves....run don't walk to get your copy.  I am so excited to be featured  in the Passport to Creativity!!! What an honour.I freaked to put it mildly when I opened that email. :) :)  These are the 3 LO's that I created for the issue. I stressed over my Bio and felt a little "nerdy" answering my interview questions, but when it's all said and done I am very proud of how it all looks and reads. I want to send a big SHOUT OUT to my friend Karen of KMP Photography for doing my head shots and scraproom photos too. Bird Call was created with Bo Bunny and some vintage goodies. I used my hole punch distress technique to finish it off. I wish I could Freeze Time consists of Graphic 45 and some yummy Tim Holz items. Toes is my last page. It has Basic Grey and my all time favorite photo of 2009. Now who else was is this magazine????? How about checking out my friend Kate ...she was featured in Pas...
