A Garage Sale Treasure

Our neighborhood held a big garage sale yesterday and my Dad and I took a little drive around the 'hood to see what we could find.

Major score on the first stop.


I've been wanting an old Coke crate and I look at them every time I'm in Canton and then kick myself when I leave without one.  They're usually about $10 there.

My garage sale find?  Two dollars!


I was so excited!



I came home and took a little peek around Pinterest for some inspiration.  You'll be seeing this crate a lot this summer!


I love the obvious use: holding soda bottles at a party. I love the colored soda but even water bottles would look great stuck in the slots.

I really love the idea of using it to hold snacks ...


... and I love it as a push pop holder! Isn't that just the cutest thing?


It's even super cute just used upside down as a table display. With every fun idea I see, I'm even happier that I bought it!


And Christmas time? Adorable. Wouldn't it be cute as a centerpiece filled with ornaments?


When it's not being used for parties or decorations, I might use it to store craft supplies.


Yep, a total score!

Did you find any garage sale treasures this weekend?
