Remember this awesome Friday yard sale I hit on my way home from the beach!?! See that Food Lion bread rack!? It was $3.00!
I knew it would be an awesome display for my space at Sanctuary of Davidson. It would also work great for the Kilorgis Project Marketplace coming up this weekend!
A little paint. A little blue paint of course.
I did a little sanding but just didn’t have time to do glaze and poly. I had a ton of stuff to sew and make before Saturday!!!! But when I brought it in the house and tried setting up my owls on it, I realized it needed a back. So back out to the garage…..
I cut and painted four pieces of wood that I had in my wood stash. Thank goodness for a wood stash, no time to run to Lowe’s or go through neighbor’s trash.
I nailed the wood to the back of the display.
Ahhhhh, much better!
One of my favorite scores from a yard sale!

What is your favorite score from a yard sale!?!
My name is Angela Statzer and I love to incorporate just about anything into my artwork. Ranging from recycled materials, vintage items, wood, jewelry, other people’s junk, buttons and fabric, my style is fun and diverse. You can find me smiling at any yard sale, thrift store or flea market. I am a momma to two amazing kids and wife to one hot husband. 
You are right, that is a great score! Last year I picked up a couple of what looks like a bushel basket attached to a rolling stand, that would be perfect for pillows displayed in it or even your owls would look good piled in. You did great adding the backs. Wish I were able to head that way. Jackie
Dang it Jackie! I need those bushel baskets!!! I need something to display some pillows in and I am out of ideas (and things in my garage)!!! Wish you were closer! Any other ideas!?!
lots of love,
Angela
