I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. The weather was wonderful here in Central Ohio, with sunny skies, steady breezes, and cooler temperatures.
Saturday morning I set out to Panera to buy bagels for breakfast. It just so happens that our Goodwill is directly behind Panera. What a coincidence I was going that way...or was it. I stopped in for a quick look at what is new. Here's what I found.
This mirror was $7, which is a bit high for GW,but it fits the design I have in mind for
my den/sunroom makeover.
Only $1 for this cute tin of fall berries.
Three dollars for this silver server.Sunday, I traveled to Johnstown, Ohio, which is a little over an hour away. I saw on the Columbus news, the night before, there was a huge swap meet being held at the Sportsman's Club with over 700 vendors. How could I resist? Off I went with my camera, of course. Like the Longest Yardsale, there were many yard sales, barn sales, and garage sales along the way.
There were tons of people there.
I saw dogs and bunnies for sale.
Good thing Jordan wasn't with me
or we would have a new bunny.
This gentleman was very talented.
Vintage bottles and mason jars.
Blue mason jar, which I will clean up and
store gumballs in for the kids, $3.
Holiday ribbon for $2.25, total.
Funky socks to use for sock wreaths (below).
Tomorrow, I will share some of the entertainment offerings at the Swappers Day.
I will be joining the following parties:
Rhoda's Today's Thrifty Treasures
Linda's Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays
Please visit these lovely ladies.
I must say this was a different experience than the other shopping experiences I've had this summer. The main focus of this Swappers Day was the buying and selling of animals, guns and amunition. It was a bit odd for me to see people walking around with guns over their shoulders. There were fewer antique/vintage decor vendors than I would have preferred and I was disappointed there weren't many crafters.

Hi La!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this images, so many lovely things:))
Greetings from Europe, Biljana
700 vendors!! woohoo....I would have headed on up there too! Even though it turned out to be a hunter's paradise. At least you did get a few things though. :) Have a wonderful week La.
ReplyDeleteHappy for you that were able to find a few goodies. Love the silver server from the Goodwill. Have a great week.

Hello La, I discovered our first swap day here in England, I shall be interested to hear about yours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful silver server! I have never seen a "sock" wreath - very clever!
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky! I once wanted my husband to stop at a 'yard sale' we were passing on our way into the mountains. I said, "Is that what I think it is?!?" and he said, "If you think it looks like a junk truck ran into a wall." Harumph! No fun, Charlie. :)
ReplyDeleteSo you didn't buy a coon dog? Looks like a fun time even if the vendors weren't what you thought.
ReplyDeleteNice finds! Can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteI love the silver server, La. I'm always looking for new pieces, wherever I go. Are you planning on going to the S'field Extravaganza? I thought I'd run up, say hi to Kathy, and shop a bit. I went in the spring and was successful. Of course, I want to do Country Living, too. I just can't stay home! LOL
