I hit up quite a few yard sales this summer. Here are some of the goodies I came home with. Mostly old bottles, jars, books, baskets, dishes, etc. Not the most useful things but I like them either way and have decorating ideas for all of them when I finally have my little farm house.
I scooped up these old jars, enamel ware and juicers for dirt cheap at an antique shop that was selling out.
My mom scored these German dishes for $20 at the same antique shop. They are worth hundreds!
I love old kitchen utensils.
The handle broke off the pitcher on the way home. Luckily it can be glued on without a problem. What a cute little enamel coffee cup and saucer.
An awesome one gallon jar.
More baskets and jars.
The jar on the left used to be a blending jar. The handle has broken off though.
Tons of old, wood picture frames. I must have 50 of them by now.
And more baskets.
I love these old canning jar lids. I must have around 100. I scored them for a total of $8. I'm told they sell for about $2 a piece. I plan to keep them though. I have Ball, Presto and a no name type.
I also bought some very old sheet music. I plan to frame them since the images are so pretty.
I inherited the yard sale bug from my grandparents. I remember going with them as a child. My grandpa would purchase anything music related or electronics. He had quite the massive collection of things. Seven Pianos, 10,000 vinyl records and 2,500 rolls of piano sheet music to name a few. It was a sight to behold.

Love it Michelle. I have oodles of old sheet music ... many framed to enjoy! Happy autumn :)
Your farmhouse will be very charming, full of history and interesting mementoes!
Michelle, your yard sale finds are truly treasures! I so love vintage things... I used to go yard saling with my mom every Saturday AM and I so miss doing that. Since I got disabled, I can't drive, and I live about 50 miles from her now, so our Saturday AM excursions are a thing of the past. But DH and I enjoy consignment shops and little out of the way antique shops. Amazing what you can find! Those German dishes would look perfect in our kitchen!
