I am so excited that it is finally garage sale season again! I love spending Saturday mornings outdoors searching for possible treasures. I’ve been to a couple of garage sales so far this year. On a recent trip, I found some cute decorative items, including these quail birds. From doing some Googling, I believe these birds are from the ‘70s. I picked them up thinking I’d paint them white, but now I’m thinking they’d look cute in a glossy bright color. What do you think?
At the same garage sale, I found these turquoise candle holders. At first I wasn’t sure if I should get them because I have about a billion candle holders, but I bought them because I don’t have any quite like this and I love their color. (Yes those candles are different heights, but that’s all I could find at home.)
I am SO happy I bought them because I absolutely love how they look in my dining room!
I think the turquoise looks gorgeous next to a bowl full of (faux) colorful citrus fruit. And they look a little tropical next to natural fiber placemats.
I am just in love with the candle holders and they make me smile every time I walk into the dining room.
Have you done any garage sale shopping this year?

I really like those quails! So much fun! I think they would look great in a bright, glossy color....like red!

What great finds!! I need to get my garage sale on soon.
Can't wait to see what you decide on the quails. I'm not sure what I'd do (probably white and boring).
I absolutely adore those quails! Apparently I need to find some new yard sale territory because I never find anything nearly as cute as those or the lovely turquoise candle holders!
