Yard sale season kicked-off for me today with the town wide yard sale in Avon-by-the-Sea, NJ. I had a pretty good season opener, if I do say so myself, and didn't even spend twenty bucks.
One of my first stops was at this House of Many Frames. The most expensive one was $4 and it was on of those gigantic (40" tall) ones on the left side of this photo:
I got these three for $4 total:
I especially like the detail on the largest one. 
Do I have a plan for them? Nope. But sometimes that's how I roll.
I think my favorite find of the day was definitely this antique ironing board.
And the price was right! 
I do have a plan for this, and I can promise you it has nothing to do with ironing. That would be crazy talk.
I also nabbed two Fenton pieces ($5 for both). They needed to be hosed down (literally) and they're currently in the dishwasher, but I think I got a decent deal on these.
Oh, I also saw this door in someone's trash.
If it can't be in my home, I sure hope it winds up in someone else's and not in a landfill. (And by the way, the glass isn't frosted; it's dirty. But still!)

I thought for sure that glass was frosted when I first saw it and immediately imagined the word "PANTRY" on it. Or bathroom in French. Or something very chic. So I howled when I read it was dirty! You crack me up.
You did great, and I can't wait to see what you do with the ironing board. When I take mine out, my kids ask, "What is THAT?" Tells you how often they see it around these parts.
where do you find those frames?? i need them!!! i just picked up 2 chairs off the side of 206 in hillsborough...they're going to be in my car for a week. we're moving in a month to lacey, so it would be silly to bring them up to our condo, only to move them back down in a few weeks;/ love the ironing board:)
No treasure but I might be able to take out the snow scraper...
You find the best stuff, Laura! I could see that ironing board used as a server off the kitchen or a hall table.
Laura,
UGH! I wish you would do a post of upcoming events (flea markets, yard sales, antique shows) in your area. I am suffering from yard sale envy and would love to attend one. If you aren't going to use that door, I will buy it. Like Maureen, I see it with the word PANTRY painted on it. The frames are gorgeous and what a deal. Ironing board would make a great planter. Excited to see what you use it for.
Your Friend,
Deborah

Some fantastic finds!! Shutters has a door remade into a magnetic chalk board with a bar to hang towels...I thought it would be great on a kitchen wall. Love the Fenton finds...this coming Saturday, I will be carless, so if you want to get up early, I am sure there will be many sales...just sayin'
Get out of town! You found some amazing treasures!! I love them all. I love the title of your post. Wouldn't it make a great book title?! xo
Oh I'm so excited by your finds. I so want to go shopping with you.
Those are some fantastic finds, I love the milk glass it's so hard to find here in the UK. Love the frames too - they are so pretty!
Yay for yard sale season! Am lovin' all those frames!
