In this part of the country, garage sales and flea markets are in full swing by May long weekend. the tell tale sign is the scattered peppering of posters and signs on every busy corner. I'm a year long scavenger so the added fresh air and sun on my face while looking for a new treasure is a treat. I was looking through my closet on the weekend and was amazed and impressed by how much is actually secondhand but still in great shape and well...a great deal. This stool in the picture came as a pair for $5. A black coat of paint later, new seat cushion and some great vintage fabric ( purchased for one dollar! from another successful scavenge) and I have a pretty chair...now one of my favorite and she will travel with me on my "Gypsy As I Go" tour next week. The secondhand table cloth covering my table and the stool will make a nice place to perch in the sun amongst the flowers this summer, planning my next flea market outing.
