For the LOve of Yard Sales

Everyday Life,Simple Living | Saturday 6 June 2009 2:55 pm

Love that the yard sales are up and about! Such a fun way to spend a couple hours exploring other people’s treasures.

I got so many fun things this morning. The perfect white shelf to hang above the oven, kitchen towels, glass storage jars, candles, 4 piece {red} canister set, spice rack, 4 sets of beautiful bedding, an Aero baseball cap {for .10}, a train case {a size that I do not have, and even better .50}, an antique quilt, a hanging scale, a couple decorative bird houses, a freezer bag filled with puppy/dog themed scrapbooking embellishments, and a few more goodies. Here’s just a few pictures.

This color blue must have been really popular as it seems whenever I come across suitcases, this is the color.

Love this scale! Already have it hanging in the kitchen beside the sink. Now, need to get serious about pulling that kitchen together {new paint, pull up the indoor/outdoor carpet and lay slate…}. I better stop, before I start pulling out my kitchen-idea binder and get myself in trouble.

Need some Inspiration? I hope you will stop by Marie Isom’s blog. Her work is gorgeous, as is her photography! Take a peek and while there, don’t forget to bookmark her!

I made an extremely quick card today. Having extremely limited embellishments for men definetly speeds up the creative process.

Nothing spectacular, but it suits the purpose, and I think it’s so much better than a store bought…so it’s all good. But, I need to invest in some masculine rubberstamps and such.

So for here, I hope you will join us at Unscripted Sketches, and have a wonderful remainder of your Saturday!

    Absolutely LOVE your card…what company is the stamp from? I like the way you stapled the heart.
    Marie with a :-)

    Love that suitcase! It’s too funny that you see that in blue everywhere, growing up my parents had these mustardy yellow ones, and they make me think of Maine. Even when we moved onto other luggage, the yellow bathroom one always came!!!
