Garage salen #13
Top of the Friday Morning to you all!!~ This party almost did not happen this week. It has been a crazy busy week for us around here. As you know the boys started school this week. Aside from the gazillions of paper work and the kidney donation to the school I also had two social outings with friends. Left me little time for much else. However, I decided to feature something I did early on in my blogging career...it was a very cool find at an antique store.
Can you guess what it is?
You guessed correctly!
My husband noticed it from a far and I loved it. And I thought at 40.00 seemed like a good price to me. I have since priced them out, and they go up to as much as 300.00. Regardless it goes perfectly in our home, and again another cool conversation piece! I would also like to give a shout out to all the awesome and courageous firefighters we have today! What a job, and they do it so well, without hesitation to rescuing lives! WOW, what would we do with out them? Do you know any firefighters?
NOW onto a few features from last weeks party!!~ Every week I seem to meet new blogging friends and see some awesome finds. I am amazed at how many women are out here blogging, creating and sharing unique and savvy ideas!~ I love it, and thank you all for participating. You know the gig! Link back to me, be courteous and visit a few other gals as well.
Next score..... my friend Linda finds the greatest trinkets, and glass ware...she has just about every color too!
I just loved this next find from VINTAGE southerner...pretty color
Hope you all enjoy the party! And check out the blogs too that I featured, they will be glad you did!
I am also joining Chari for Sunday favorite...go and check it out!
Also joining Rhonda.

Ha! i just read the comment above!!! Woohoo! Congratulations, Deb! The fire extinguisher looks really cool and is a very good thing to have. Wow! I am proud of your little safe nest!
Hi Debbie, your fire extinguisher is awesome!! Great price too. It is indeed a conversation piece, it looks so nice where you placed it as well.
Well Done Debs! :D
That extinguisher is so cool. Now that was a great find. I hope to someday be a part of your garage salen party, as of now I am a terrible garage saler. I just don't have the eye for finding the great stuff. I pledge to keep trying though so maybe next time.
Brooke
You always find the coolest stuff!
Have a great weekend! :)
My girlfriend used to have one just like that. And I love the wee little blue bird in previous post. I am a bird lover, and have many birds here at my house. Both inside and outside!!!
Have a lovely weekend!
That extinguisher is pretty cool!
Wow!!! (that was a three second WOW)...that's fabulous! that's why I love "junkin" so much....to find that awesome piece to put in your home that makes a home that says "you". Come on over and sign up for my give-away. One item features treats and trinkets I have found yard saln' and flea marketing! Have a super great weekend. :) ~ Lynn
Very cool. It looks perfect next to the fireplace! ;-D
Congratulations on the spotlighting!

Kidney donation?! Whose?
Beautiful copper fire extinguisher. We have an aluminum? one my sis gave us. She'd gotten it at a garage sale. Our neighbor is a firefighter and my DH is a cop. We have quite a few cops in our neighborhood. God bless them all!!
Hey you lucky girl. A feature and a giveaway! Woohoo! You deserve it....love your blog and more important I think your a cool lady. Enjoy.
love all your little treasures.
Yeah! It's been a few weeks since I've partied with you but I finally have something to share! :)
Hi Debbie! Oh, I remember the days for getting the kids off to school! I know you've been busy!
Love your cute little fire extinguisher! Love the coppery color! Now get some rest this weekend and lock your kiddoes in their tiny rooms! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Great fire extinguisher and it looks terrific hanging on the wall. Does it still work in case you need to use it?
Hope you have a fun weekend. ~ Sarah
The extinguisher is awesome! Love the patina of it.
Yes, I know a firefighter. What a good man he is as my girlfriend can attest to considering that it is her husband.
Di
lovely pieces.
Ooooops, looks like you got a SPAM comment...
This is a keeper and that's a great $$$$$....what a steal... Love where you mounted it too. You do have the eye.
Kate
Great find my friend...I have one just like it in my kitchen and it is a conversation piece for sure...I just tell people it's there because of my cooking ha ha!!
Hope you have a GREAT weekend my friend...and don't you love it when the kids go back to school and the house is quiet...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
That fire extinguisher is really beautiful--never thought I'd be equating the two! Love it.
Have I told you how nice it is for you to host this party for our enjoyment every week, well Thank YOU!
Also I love your sepia toned picture of your living room, looks like a home back in the 1800's very cool
I knew what it was!! I knew what it was!!
I saw something cool made out of some very similar to that extinguisher but I can't remember what or where!!
Hey busy lady! That's really cool. I've never seen or noticed it before by your fireplace. Love the copper coloring. So funny about the kidney donation. You are joking right. It is amazing the mounds of paperwork that is sent home every year at the beginning of school isn't it. Just wait until they are in highschool then it's hand over all your money for everything. To top things off at the grocery store yesterday the cashier asked me would I like to purchase a box of rice crispy treats for the high school. I just dropped my jaw and said absolutely NOT. I hate to sound ugly but they have already taken all the money I have. She just stared at me with great big eyeballs. LOL! I mean do they really think they need community fundraisers at the same time we already have to pay out so much just to get them enrolled. Sorry to rant, but Ughhh!
I had some comments about your donating a kidney as well but you are in lick. We're having a storm and my power could go off any moment. Want to thank you for hosting.
Out here in the country almost everyone is a firefighter but I have friends (and a big brother) on depts in bigger cities as well. I've been through some training and think I can handle an extinguisher. (Aim at the base of the flame!)
A very cool find and beautiful addition to your room.
Thanks for featuring me in your blog post! I love this party and can hardly wait each week to visit everyone and see their treasures.
That antique fire extinguisher is really cool, Debbie. What a fascinating find, I have never seen one before....Christine
congrats on being the spotlight blog on spotlight saturday. I'm a new follower.

Very cool and a great price! Hard to find those and the copper alone is worth much more even though the antique value is higher. Good job!
How did you attach that to the wall, Debbie? I've had one standing on the floor for the past 5 years......
I'm not sure what to link to at the moment, but I will give it some thought and come back :)
Your fire extinguisher is wonderful! I love unique accessories like that.

You know I have always loved that unique piece y'all got. Love the fact that it is copper. Late to the party again.
Hi! Found you at Kel's Spotlight Saturday. What beautiful stuff here! I think you'd have fun at www.magicalmouseschoolhouse.com, where Disney IS school.
Thanks, Jodi
Debbie,
Im back. I made a mention of you on my blog today. Cant wait to get back in the game.
Mr. Goodwill Hunting.
I have the very same Turner mirror from the 50's. It belonged to my grandmother. I love it, and I hope to do something interesting with it. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my, I love where you put it in the house! Now, my hubby would LOVE to have out little red fire extinguisher (new, not in the least antique looking and pretty tacky) mounted on the kitchen wall. I keep it under the sink instead. But yours looks great on the family room wall.
Hi Debbie!
that is a totally cool fire extinguisher! That is such an awesome find!!
Hope things gets back to a little less hectic this upcoming week
would not have guessed, what a lovely piece to have.
Great find! Hope your kids got off to school without too much trouble. Thank God I don't have to worry about that anymore!Check out my previous post about the beautiful new high school for York.
Debbie, that extinguisher is just waaay tooo cooool!! I saw one at a sale and didn't buy it. Oh regrets! When will I ever learn? Ha ha
Thanks for hosting again- I love to see what everyone finds.
hugs, Sue
Yes, Debbie, congrats on the 'spotlight'! Way to go!
I actually have some great 'finds' from the last 3 weeks. I haven't been able to sell my house and got some advice from an open house of some updating and decorating that may help. So that's been one of my many procects this month. :-) I'll have to take some pictures are participate soon. You give me so many Great ideas, Debbie! Thank You!!
Blessings & Many Hugs,
Coreen
So I was cleaning today, and I was like, gee I have quite a few things that I have gotten good bargains on over the years. And it was like a lightbulb moment. Duh, Debbie mentioned that on one of my posts to bring in on over, so next Garage salen party, I will be here!! Hope you had a good week with school back in session, Tuesday can't get here soon enough for me(I'll miss them later I know)!
Your home is so pretty, Debbie. What a great find.
Have a wonderful week! La
Hi Debbie...
Sooo happy to have you for our Sunday Favorites party this week, my friend! What a treat! It has been awhile since we've visited...I do apologize! I know that you have been very busy and this summer has been crazy busy for me as well! Lots of company, trips, etc., but I have loved every minute of it! My blogging sure does suffer though...eeeks!
Well my friend, I remember a post that you did about this beautiful antique fire extinguisher! It really is quite impressive and I love that copper! It looks great in your fabulous home...which by the way...I just love that photo! Thank you so much for sharing your home and antique treasure with us today for Sunday Favorites...such a treat!!!
Warmest wishes,
Chari @Happy To Design
I have two of those fire extinguishers and made them into lamps. I blogged about them a few months ago. And, my oldest son is a fireman. I had the lamps long before he became a fireman. I feel (almost) obligated to give him one. Great find for you!!! Lori L
