ballet....
and Momma starting a new schedule (insert picture of tired Mommy here)!I am pleased to announce that we have both adjusted well and I can get back to yard sales, Goodwill, playing house and having fun! :-)
Saturday I snuck away with my SIL Meg to a couple of yard sales and found a few great items.
First off, check out this fabric....pretty, huh? My Sweet Girl walked into the room a few minutes ago and exclaimed "Mom, what a beautiful blanket!". :)
How about a Full/Queen duvet and 2 shams made out of it for $2!
I bought this little cannister for 75 cents.
I am thinking of spray painting it white. Any thoughts???
I almost passed this next baby by since it's not my style but then it dawned on me that I could spray paint it and use scrapbook paper to make it more to my liking!
Last year I saw all the darling Advent calendars that everyone had and was wishing I had one. For $2 now I do!
I also bought my Sweet Girl a bag of Polly Pockets for a quarter, a little laptop computer game thingy for her for $1 and a bag of costumes (pirate, batman, etc) for $1 for my nephew to dress up in when he comes over to play.
I was thrilled with my finds from just 3 little yard sales!

Cool beans! Lots of great stuff. I love the fabric! Beautiful and so perfect for sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteI also love, love, love the advent calendar. Great idea to make it more to your liking.
Wow, you really found some good things for going to an August garage sale.
Those are all great finds! Glad you are back into the swing of things. The pictures of your daughter are priceless! The first one reminds me of me when I was little!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day,

Victoria,
ReplyDeleteWhat an array of good finds from your trip out with Meg on Saturday. Being a quilter I love all kinds of fabric - you really found a great piece there.
Sweet girl looks so pretty!
Take care and adjust to your new schedule.
You'll be able to make a really cute advent calendar with that one! Beautiful fabric too!

I'm so jealous of that advent calendar! I think I saw those at Hobby Lobby last year, and I wish I had gotten one! My daughter will be 21 this year, but I still like to do things like this for her, and she loves it too! A pair of earrings, or a piece of candy, or a hair tie. Any little thing! Looove the pink duvet too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you found some FABULOUS things!! LOVE that fabric!

Oh how I love garage sales!! Oh how I wish that I needed more stuff and I could go to more and mu husband wouldn't yell at me!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! We've been so busy here as well, I haven't been thrifting in a long time. Now that school is back things should calm down a bit! Hopefully anyway. :)
