garage sale finds 10

I spent the morning hitting some garage sales with the kids. Here are a few of my finds.

This cool little bird cage for $5
This tray that's going to get a coat of paint and some decoupage (yep, 25 cents)

And check out this crazy thing. The guy had about a dozen of these wooden frames ($2 each) that had been specially made for his matchbox collection. I'm going to toss the matches and use the frame for something else...stay tuned!
What did you find at garage sales?

Find a collector for those matchbooks!
Since reading blogs I have developed a fondness for birdcages. I'll be posting soon about a very large one I just brought home this week.

ON NO!...Don't toss the matchbooks. I had my Dad's collection and sold most on ebay. Some went for $15.00 each, nothing sold under $2.00, made nearly $200.00!!! Hope you still have them.
