Garage sale finds Friday

Welcome to another week of Garage Sale Finds Friday where I share with you some of my favorite garage sale finds of the week.

This week, I scored big time on some vintage awesomeness.

I hit several barn sales and had so much fun digging for treasures!

First up, I found this vintage Schwinn bike.  It's rusty, but it's awesome!

Funny thing, this week everything seemed to come in 2's.  

I found another vintage Schwinn bike just like it, which is how I was able to negotiate this bike down to just $5!  It's pretty rad don't you think?

I walked past this old Pepsi crate twice and was about to leave when I spotted it hiding under a table.

$2 is all it took to get this big guy home.

I've always been partial to vintage license plates.  

I sorted through a huge pile to find these older plates.

The best find was the '57 Washington plate.

At $1 a piece, I couldn't pass them up!

I was so excited when I saw this pendant light for sale.  

Brand new with the tags on it!

It reminds me of something out of the Restoration Hardware catalog don't you think?

Guess how much I paid for this bad boy?

$2, that's it!

Along the side of the road, this gentleman had lined up half a dozen chairs.

This chair in particular spoke to me.

It was sturdy and had really cool age to it already.

I noticed later that the chair's seat had been mended with a strip of wood.  

I made that strip just a little less obvious by painting a strip of black.

Now it looks like it was totally meant to be that way.

I call it my racing stripe chair.

I bought this vintage screen door from the same garage sale as the racing stripe chair.

I saw it and just had to have it.

How often do you see screen doors at garage sales?

Well, this day, I actually saw two of them!

See, I told you everything came in two's that day.

This screen door was in the process of being re-screened (I did the bulk of the work re-screening it), but that new screen made all the difference.  The whole time I re-screened the door I sang Taylor Swift's song "Our Song".  Yep, the sound of a screen door slamming just screams long slow summer days for me.

I picked up the screen door and the chair for $15.

Super fun vintage finds, am I right?!What did you find this week at garage sales?
