FREE vintage smokey the bear pins. Won't they look cool on a corkboard? And really, who can beat free?!
Three cigar boxes. There were more, but I wanted them all the same size. I am going to use them to store buttons, and other sewing notions. 75cents for all three!
How cool is this old pencil sharpener? I LOVE it! I know I want a new computer desk at our new house, and this is the first thing I want to attach to it! And for FREE, how can you go wrong?
I have seen those wreaths made out of book pages, all over blog land. I bought this book for 50 cents, with the hopes of making one of my own in the near future.
I didn't realize how expensive these styrofoam balls were until I started buying them at the craft store for various crafts. I got all of these balls in the free box.
This is my favorite score of the day! I am in LOVE with this chalkboard/cork board! I actually walked right past it at first, and did a double take when I looked down and saw this gem. I was so excited because it was on my list of things I wanted to find for one of my next projects.
Can you see the price???? Yep, only 10 cents!
This is the back of it. I am going to put some burlap on there, and paint the frame, and...oh, just keep checking back, I will have the finished product up in no time!
I found this 100% cashmere sweater for only a quarter. Nothing is wrong with the sweater, and it is as soft as can be! I'm thinking of making a scarf out of it for next winter.
Owls seem to be all the rage in decorating now. So I couldn't pass up this cute little pair. I paid $2 for them, but they have already been a hit at my house since my youngest was so excited to learn that they are actually made from volcanic ash from Mt. St. Helen's. Not sure if I will paint these guys white or not...that was my first thought, now I think I will leave them the grey that they are. What do you think?
Any other ideas for my garage sale finds? It was a fun day!

That chalkboard was such a great price at $.10. Crazy!
I had a pencil sharpener like the one in your post when I was a kid. It was used a lot!
