I went to an estate sale and a few garage sales this weekend. Lots of goodies!!! But not a lot of photos yet, so I'll save the other stuff for when I have time to get some good shots of them. These are two of my favorite finds though. Bought four of these wooden file...
A Little Garage Sale Action
This week has been busy, busy, busy with my son's school stuff, so I haven't had a lot of time to do a lot of thrift store shopping, but I did manage to make it to two garage sales today and picked up a few items. Like this old camera to add to my small...
The Fabulous Iris Bed Reveal
Or not! Two weeks ago when I bragged about how great my iris would look I should have known it's not nice to brag. I think I even used the word spectacular. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Well, we've had a wild spring here in Ohio. Rain, wind, abnormally low temps. All this continued while my iris...
Church Rummage Sales
Yesterday I showed you my barn sale finds, so today I'll continue with my church rummage sale finds: Last year I went to a few awesome church rummage sales and they all had some good vintage items. This weekend three out of the four church sales were filled with rubbish. Really, poor quality stuff that...
Vintage Disney Toys
Tomorrow is going to be a whirlwind of shopping. A barn sale that will be amazing, if it's anything like the last one I attended there, and at least 3 church rummage sales. Plus whatever other yard sales I can squeeze in before my wallet is empty or the van is full. So not a...

I promised to show you how I stamped my silverware from this post about shopping at Ikea,so I've put together a silverware stamping tutorial for you. It is really so darn simple. First you need to find some silverware suitable for stamping. In my experience, silverplated silverware is much easier to stamp than stainless steel....
Thrift Store Finds
It was sort of slow around here with thrift storing and garage saling, probably because of the holiday. Wait, what's that? Looks interesting, but let's save that shininess for last. First take a look at what I found for a mere 39 cents. A light pink linen tablecloth. Reminds me of a pink linen suit...
Spring Break 1968
I hope you all have been having a wonderful Easter holiday today. We have been having a pretty laid backed Sunday so far. My Easters have tended to be this way for the last twenty years or so. I find it a nice day to sit back, relax and enjoy. This got me to thinking...
Easy Spring Peat Pot Baskets
For years, I've seen cute little mini "paper mache" baskets in gift shops in the spring. But what I didn't know is that they are not paper mache at all, but made with peat pots. Yes, the same peat pots gardeners start their seeds in. This epiphany started one day at the grocery store when...
