GaraGE saLEN Party #7
First off let me say THank you all for another great party last week. I don't care what anyone says....I hang with the coolest chics in town! And that is all of you. You gals are so courteous and caring to one another each and every party. I see your comments to each other, and you just make me smile. I think I throw a darn good party...my guests mingle and have fun. Of course the host is not too bad herself (
Let me start with Gina....I believe she is new to this thrifting gig...but I do believe she is onto something. Check out this beautiful dresser score
Next up...my young, fresh, and energizing friend Allison.....her and her husband are also newbies to this, and having a ball....look what she found last week, and then look what they did a couple of days later.....I am impressed...they are so cute too!!~
BEFORE
AFTER: can you believe this? I just love it!
Now for my last feature of the week. My friend Leann!~ This gal rocks in her cool vintage, sassy style. She is fun, and uses great color in her home...very different from anything I am used to seeing....and I love different!~
See what I mean...she is a cool cat, go check out her blog, you will be happy you did!
Now let's get this partay started once again.
I almost forgot about posting my latest score:
This table was hideous! But for 5.00 and a little creative thought...I came up with something useful. I am over the Modge podge for now...I think I have mastered it, and have to go onto something else. The top of this table was so beat up, and who in their right mind painted this? I mean I love fun and funk, but this is down right FUGS!
Just a little more color....I bought this as well at the thrift store for 1.00.
That's all folks....now let's get this party started! I can't wait to see what you have all scored this week! Oh I spent a whopping $6.50on my finds this week...now that is what a call thrifting!

Wow! All you girls are so creative! Beautiful orange mat, that, below the green hen!
Very cool plant stand too! Love it!!
Debbie, I love that little table that you refurbished. That before was kind of wild wasn't it. Love the tray you painted, too. My computer has been down all morning and so glad to get it back.
I picked up a corner table this week for a buck and an American candle lamp. I'm going to be painting this table blue and putting my American stuff on it. I'll be sure to post about this. I'm starting to get creative haha. Love the table.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR FEATURING ME!!! :) You've made my day!
That table totally reminds me of a shelf unit I am working on right now! It was almost the same colors! lol Love what you did to it.
I have nothing to add this week, unless I finish my shelf- which is ALMOST done so maybe I'll get off to go finish it just so I can post it! lol Thanks again!
That table must have been used as a display table in a store somewhere. Love all your colorful chickens poppin up everywhere...haha! You did a nice job with changing the table and the tray. I'm really impressed about the total of your purchases though. Good deal!
I love the various bright colors of spray paint - so cheerful and fun - can't wait to gussy up my finds - you inspire me - thanks (:
I am loving those shutters...unfortunately, I have the sort of husband that believes they should be on the outside of the house...not inside. Ugh.
Your table turned out so cute and colorful! What were the previous owners thinking?
xoxo
Janie
Love your make-overs...as usual;)!
Of course the orange basket tray is my favorite!
LOVE!
Enjoy!

Hi Debbie!
Oh that table had some serious, um...graphic designs happening! yeah, "graphic designs" that is a good way to put it! Love what you did to it! It looks great.
Okay, now I have to search through my stash of wicker baskets/trays and find one to spray paint red! That pop of red looks wonderful!!
I'll have you know, you have inspired me to "step out of my color comfort zone" and play with some bright fun colors! Yup, I am painting a candlestick bright yellow right now. And I thought of you while I did it! LOL
I'll be linking up probably tomorrow!
Have a great day!
Hey Debbie! Love the table...just like your pots! Love em! Sooo I finally linked up...I can't wait to see what everyone else has found! Thanks for hosting :)
I love the roosters and the burst of colours everywhere.Very refreshing.
I love what you did with that table and your use of color! You are inspiring me to bring more color to our outside decor.
Mary Ellen
The idea never stop over here. I have to get out tomorrow and find a tag sale. I still have to can of paint and I'm ready to spray. But, for now it's the land of Orphan Anne Yarn for me.
Toodles,
Kate - T.G.B.
GREAT stuff!!! I promise one of these days soon i'm going to join the party!! ;)
I had a huge weekend garage salin' and we had trash pu this week so my grandaughter and I were BUSY!!!!!!
and I posted your button on my blog!
I love all that wonderful color you bring to your deck and yard! Whoo Hoo that table is too cute!
Love all the things you updated from your finds! I emailed you a linky button code if you want it! I will also be linking up tomorrow with my thrifty find!
Oh wow.. great table re~DO! Great thrift finds by all.
Debbie,
I just love all of your goodies and I adore the bright colors that you paint everything!! You got me hooked on that bright yellow!! And I am so glad that you did!! I love it as an accent color out in my little patio!!
Thanks again for your inspiration!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Fun stuff! clever ideas. I need a week off work so I can get creative for my own use. I always do somnething creative in each home I work with yet with my own I tend to think it, and not do it. kinda like a mechanics car is always due for that oil change or the cabinet makers home is all unfinished. Is it being to busy and no spare time to devote enough or is it just because ya do it all week and ya burn out? I am not sure. Maybe both. All I know is with this new place here i could have a feild day getting creative if I had you here to inspire me and kick me in gear!!
Thanks for hosting! Love the tray for outdoors! I need one of them!
You inspired me to do a post about my deck.

I finally got around to writing it.
Have a great weekend!

Wow! No one has ever called me a "cool cat" before! That's awesome! Can you believe I found a coffee table (base only) just like mine and the bid is up to $235!!! SCORE!! I paid 15!!!
xo
LeAnn
lol we must be a lot alike! I got that same exact butterfly last winter! It's in my bathroom, LOL!!
Thank you for all of your kind words on my blog posts!!! I'll reply to each accordingly!! <3
Love the wicker tray spray painted red! Great job on the table, too!
Hi Debbie, I love your cute table with the mod podge top, it looks awesome and your orange painted try is so sweet. I love your bold color choices, you always make everthing look so happy!
Hugz,
Kim
sorry I can't join in the fun until I get this house packed up and moved, but I will be back for your partay as soon as I can!
LOVE those shutters! Yes, I am still suffering from blogger brain :o( Hopefully it's nothing a little vacation can't cure!
loving those shutter afters and the funky style of leann. thanks for letting us know about them...i'm off to inspect their blogs!
I have a rooster just like your's but mine is pewter tone.. love your new orange tray~!
I didnt have much to show this week but at least I got something posted:)
have a wonderful weekend.
Sonny
OK hold onto your hat! Are you trying to tell me miss color queen, funky retro, Debbie Doo did not like the bright green, funky squared table! I swear Debbie if you had found it without the squares, I think you would have painted them on....You alway's keep us guessing!
Carol
Great finds Debbie! I have really enjoyed reading your blog, you are such an inspiration!!! I am loving the table. And to answer your question to me from last week's garage salen party. I did paint that wicker chair and bought a really cool cushion for it!
Love the green chicken!!!! None of my friends here thrift or antique or go "junquing"...so sad. Of course, we don't have any good thrift shops nearby...only some expensive antique shops. I love seeing how creative people are. Thanks for being follower on my blog. Hope you'll come back again soon.
Love what you did, and I will participate next time! Great meme, never enough "thrifting". Sandi
Thanks for the invite. It is always good to meet a thrifting friend.
I love your site,it is so bright and cheerful... just became a follower. Annette
OH MY! You did that table proud!
Though the 1st thing I noticed in the outdoor pic was that great pot underneath...
And I just bought one of those trays...(for .30 @ G.W. ) going to paint/copy it :)
Thanks for stopping by... (I am so new to this, that I don't know how to join/link yet..but soon I hope :)
Tudo muito lindo!!! Eu queria uma venda de garagem aqui, mas não tem...sniff.
Hey, pretty lady, what a fun post! I love it all...such creative souls here! Every time I visit your blog, I smile! =) I love everything you do!
Have a wonderful day! XO ~Liz
Hi Debbie,
Well, your party is off to another great start! And you are just too funny! I bet if you took an informal poll of garage sales across the US & Canada, they would report a steep spike in sales since you began your Partay! :) Love your painted rooster! And are those blue painted wood chips I see?!
unreal of what some people find.....and then when prices are named i am floored.....GW here in my neck of the woods in pa is not even close to being thrifty any more.......and Craigslist people must think there used items are gold!! now i will say after watch C-List for least a yr i did hit the jackpot a wicker rocker that has NOTHING wrong with it for 5 bucks..oh don't get me wrong i am glad you ladies have such luck but i am tired of wearing this bib from drooling!!
What great features! I loved how they used the shutters! Cute table redo! Thanks for having a fun party!
Wendy
Great looking table redo Debbie!
I've added my link to our lake house living room update, using garage sale finds.
I am on my PC and need to move to my laptop to add your link at the post. Bear with me, as I change computers.:-)
Wow! Thanks for featuring me! I was so surprised when I brought up your blog and found my dresser...confused at first then pleasantly surprised. :) Thanks so much!
I love what you did to that ugly table. Great idea to spray paint that tray too. I love how it looks with the rooster. So much fun color everywhere, I love it!
What a great idea! I'm glad I found my way here.
I love living in the Carolinas, too.
I always love what you found and your transformation to the items, Debbie!
Debbie, I'm lovin' that rooster painted green. It's on your back deck, right? JK. I used the Krylon Avocado for my daughter's party & am thinking I want to repaint a couple of things with that color it is soooo pretty.
Haven't had any time to go thrifting, but I am enjoying all of your finds!
P.S. Love the rooster! I have one similar in my garage collecting cobwebs--I need to do a Debbie-do and make her over!
Sigh. I will be here next week, I just added your party button to my blog---looks like everyone is gonna have to have fun without me.
What fun and your Cinderella table is just charming. You are right, it was FUGLY!! Your projects are always so creative. Love your party, too.
Your table looks so cute, I love it!!! Did you really mod podge yourself out? You have mod podge burnout! I will link up tomorrow, it's not something I bought myself but my MIL got it for me and she didn't get it at a retail store...I love it though and am excited about sharing it!
Are things from Big Lots ok to share or is that considered retail?
I finished my shelf so I was able to post it! Yeah!!
Hi, Debbie! This is my fist time joining in your 'Garage Salen Party' and I'm sure to become addicted! You did a great job on that awful table! The tray is presh! Great post, as always.
~Holly
Love that table!! Great finds again this week!
Garage sales are the bomb! And you have vision like no other. You go, Debbie!
Wow, all the finds are so great. My son works for Good Will as a manager mentor to help the physically and mentally handicapped. He loves it that so many people are into thrifting. It helps give jobs to so many less fortunate. We go thrifting at least every other week down where he lives. I am going to have to post my finds next time and join the party!
These are all such great finds and projects! It's so fun to visit everyone and see all the great stuff!
Happy Friday! I am stopping by via the linky party.
Your table looks utterly charming!
Everything looks great! Great job!
Sadly no "finds" for me to post this week. I do have a couple of projects in the works that I will share when they are done though. A great chair & table makeover.
Lovin' looking at everyone else and their fun ideas! Thanks for hosting :)

Hi Debbie, I am late getting to the party but I just got home from yard salen and couldn't wait to show my new found treasure. Your table is so cute and I love the bright colors you used...they are so happy. But don't hate me when I say I liked it "as found" too. That green geometric print is pretty cool I think. My son's apartment is all black and white and that would have really added a punch of color. :) Hope you can slip by for a quick visit. xo Lynn
Hey, Debbie you are the LUCKY winner of my 200th posting giveaway. Send me your contact info and what kind of tassel you would like. I can make the animal print, girly pink, pink& brown, red color scheme. Let me know what ya like and I will TRY to customize it. Also, how you want it monogrammed. Thanks for entering!!!!
Hi Debbie, I just found you thanks to Kim at Savvy Southern Style. I linked with you...love this party as I yard sale every Saturday. I mispelled Garage I was so excited...I am a dork. My husband LOL. I follow you now! ~olive~
Debbie, I fixed the link. Thanks bunches I am very new to this and overwhelmed many days. ~olive~
LOVE those shutters...I am on the hunt for some myself.
While I am a huge fan of green squares (ick!) you redo is fabulous and looks amazing in the yard. I like the green rooster too. I keep seeing roosters at the thrift store and thinking of you!
I am glad that I have thrifting friends, as much of this summer I am without my own vehicle. Sadly, they all have small cars, and we seem to like the same things. Makes thrifting together tough.
Interesting basket tray. It would be something I would have passed by. You make it look beautiful.
OMGosh Debbie...that table is so cute. As usual....I have modpodge but have never used it. What is my problem. I keep buying items thinking I will paint them but I haven't had the nerve to actually alter something yet. EEK.
Love that wicker tray you sprayed orange. I passed on so much wicker this weekend and now I wish I hadn't.
This is my first time joining. Thanks for hosting the party. That tray is so cute painted. I love it with the green rooster.
Fun Fun! Thanks for hosting!! Can't wait to see what everyone found!
Love what you did with the table. Thanks for sharing that great idea.
Good Luck with the votes! You are so good at what you do!
Blessings, Vicky
Back to link up my yard sale buys from the weekend. Thanks for hosting Debbie!
Mary Ellen
Love all the art and color in this post, very inspirational!
Hi Debbie! Hey, I just wanted to let you know I doubled checked and you definitely are on the Linky Love Library page. You are listed on Saturday. Second one down on my list. I just wanted to be sure I hadn't forgotten your wonderful party! Good luck on your Oprah entry! Happy Monday.
~Lori
It's had to believe what the table looked like before, you did a beautiful job. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
