CL Fair Day Loot

What did I buy at the County Living Fair you ask? (if you missed that post, re-read here)
Lots of signs, what is what I bought, lots of signs!
 
See below!
But 2 of those signs are gifts and one is painting, not a sign..so, it isn't like I went too crazy! ha!

No this one was not one of the gifts, this one was for me! ha!

 I have been wanting more paintings, but real painting are pretty expensive, so when I came across this little one which was not expensive, and Colin liked it too, I bought it. 
Baby steps to collecting non-print wall hangings.

Then I go this little metal thing, I have no idea what I am going to do with it, but I like it and I will figure out some fun use for it at some point.

Then I got some metal critters. : )

And I bought some Daffodils prints.  I don't have a place in mind to hang them, but they were cheap, and I'll just wait to put them into a frame until I have a location. 
The one of the left looks just like some of the real daffodils I planted last fall!

So that wraps up my County Living loot, but I did buy some random things at the antique barn.  Things are cheap there, so I went a little nuts.
 
See the loot from the barn:

1. Little silver cream and sugar set, they had seen better days, but I thought succulents would look awesome in them, so I wasn't concerned about condition.
2. A silver bowl, which I figured was also good for plants, or maybe just snacks...
3. Umm a $3 vase! Yes Please! That is probably cheaper then the tomato sauce jars I use! haha
4. Shot glassed that I liked since they look like my grandma's water glasses.  Is that weird, to like shot glasses since they remind you of your grandparents???? Whatever, they were $1 each and we need shot glasses like once a year, so I figured of course we needed more! ha! (oh remember the days of needing shot glasses like once a week, not once a year....)
 
And I did a pretty good job of getting most of my loot set up in the house in a timely fashion, which is kind of a big deal for me, I like things to sit in piles for months until I get around to setting them up. ha!
 
The little painting, the flower sign and the metal bird found a home on the mantle.  Although it is a bit busy, I am finally happy with my mantle décor.  For the time being at least. : )
