If you know THE EE you know I don't like to "dig". I like a very neat and clean garage sales or consignment shops, to find wonderful trashy happy treasures, but I don't like to dig.
A couple of weekends ago I had a wonderful time going through a friends garage sale before the sale! It was great. My good friend "The Garage Sale Queen" can find the best "trashy happys" of anyone around and she also gives the greatest garage sales. She let me come in and look ahead of time for treasures.
I did ended up with numerous finds that I was able to share with others and some fun things myself as well. All in all I think I have now been converted!
Here is my awesome little lunch purse. When I get a free moment I am going to have it monogrammed no one else will snatch it! Not too trashy but a very Happy Find.
One of my fun finds was a sweater vest that ended up being chopped up to make covers for my camera and lens, along with a great camera bag that just looks like EE. Stay tuned for the designer skirt I am creating with the leftover fringe.
Pretty cool. I use a zigzag stitch to keep the yarn from raveling. It went together really fast. My new bag has lots of pockets inside and out.
Somehow I "inherited" a vintage 8 mm splicing machine - complements of my son - who inherited it from an antique shop owner. It may well be our "white elephant" gift that is passed back and forth or it may even become a lamp. Who knows.
As you can see I ended up with some fun and trashy happy and interesting finds. There is no telling what I will end up with next!
What interesting finds have you come across lately? Where is your favorite place to go searching for Trashy Happy Treasures?
