Kitchen Catches: Salad Bowls

Earlier this summer my loving husband woke me up and had me out of the house by 7:00 am to go garage sale-ing. Getting me up early on Saturday is not an easy feet. We're up by 6:30 every week day and I treasure my sleep-in day. We went to 12 garage sales by noon and found many sales, all thanks to my dear husband wakening me early on Saturday. I'll try to remember that next time he gets me up at an ungodly hour.
One of the best catches of the day was my salad bowls!

A lady was selling a set of 3 small salad bowls and a big salad bowl for $1.50, and a 2nd set of 4 wooden salad bowls for $1. The seemed to be in pretty sad condition.


Thankfully, having been researching wood finishes for our dining room table project, I knew something could be done to fix the bowls!
I grabbed both sets and boldly asked the lady "both sets for a dollar?" knowing that much haggling was about to ensue.
"Sure."
What?! Had my ear deceived me?! 
Seven beautiful bowls were mine!
I took them home, and took out our olive oil. I poured the oil into the bowl and onto some paper towels. I then proceeded to liberally apply olive oil all over each bowl... here's how it turned out!

Good as new!
