This morning I went to a great garage sale in Crown Heights, my favorite historic neighborhood in Oklahoma City. Here is what I found:
(There is an awful lot of stuff on this dresser!)I couldn't be happier with these two pink lamps.
They match my little girl's room perfectly. $10.00
Here's a little more detail. 
This antique tablecloth was an amazing find because it fits my obnoxiously long dining room table. It's 124x64 and the lady said it was made from "antique cloth." $15.00
A little more detail. This thing is so heavy.
I also bought this candle holder. I have big plans for it. You can see a full length shot of it in the above picture of the tablecloth. I plan on buying different crystals and filling it with those thick short candles - all different colors, because I'm like that. $5.00
Here are a couple more things I picked up at the same sale:
I love Christmas. I love Dylan Thomas. And, I've always wanted to visit Wales. $1.00
The fireplace in one of my kids' rooms is closed off.
It's like a colossal, worthless piece of concrete.
Thus, this candle-thingy made me very happy. Even if it is a little brassy.
$4.00

Jen,
You are good! I would love to go garage-sale browsing with you. Those little lamps are just precious and that table cloth is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your beautiful treasures with us!
Hugs,

Wow Jen I love your concept of the 50 states and 50 genX bloggers ... if you ever branch out to the WORLD and want an Aussie 1967er I am your girl :)
Well hello US Jen ... thanks for dropping by me .. we seem to have strands in common - children, scrapping, similar employment backgrounds maybe and being born in the same year ... you go girl !
Would you think of showing the label/tags for your blogs down the side bar so new readers like me can find your blogs that relate to specific topics - not months - no harm in asking .. otherwise I will just have to read it all ...
Your blogs about your dad brings me to tears - I watched my nan pass thru this soul destroying disease ... shadows of former self.
All the best Le xox
Those pink lamps are divine!
Wow, you found some lovely things! I think garage sales in OK must be better than the ones here!
I spent a short time (about 3 months) in Claremore...years ago!...but I remember really having fun in the antique shops there. good stuff!
I've got a blog to nominate...for Oregon...www.xanga.com/madhousewife. She's former journalist, now at home with four kids. Very funny, but also insightful, and a wonderful writer.
I COVET...ermmmm...I mean love those pink lamps!! I wish we had garage sales. Sadly, we only have "stoop sales" here in the cit-ay, and that tablecloth would have prolly cost several hundred. Lucky you!
