yard sale treasures




my friend, sharon who is also a cancer survivor, has a non-profit {fighting cancer inc} who gives a bag of goodies {sunshine box project} to first time chemo patients.  i remember that day as being one of the scariest days of my life.  and i remember walking off of the elevator seeing sharon & illeana waiting to deliver a sunshine box to me.  i felt so special and cried.  such a simple thing brought me so much comfort.  i have since become friends with sharon.  the primary fundraiser for fighting cancer inc is an annual yard sale.  the yard sale was this past weekend.  i signed up to help with my neice.  as we were organizing tables, i kept seeing wonderufl things and thinking of ways i could use all of them.  here are photos of a few things i picked up. 

i can not wait to unleash my creativity on this chair.



this caught my eye the moment it was set out.  i loved it.  to me, it was so eye catching.  when we were about to leave, it was still there, so i added it to my collection.  i have no idea what i am going to do with it, but i had to have it.




this pitcher was so beautiful.  i added it to my collection.  i really love antiques and this was a perfect day for me to add to my collection and support a great cause.
