and thrift stores, and estate sales, and yard sales, and trash people have parked at the end of their driveway…

Not much going on today. We found 2 sales, so our haul wasn’t terrific, but some fun stuff was discovered:

some sweet old coloring books (original price tags .12), old set of German watercolors in a little tin box, beads (I can never resist) to remake into other jewelry, and unused paint rollers (these things are not cheap! I paid a quarter).

Here’s a closeup of the little tin watercolor box

it was well-loved (and my daughter is anxious to get her paws on it)

Not shown:

laura ashley seersucker sundress with great smocking on the front for my daughter, and new with tags urban outfitters tee for me, a pair of plumbers gloves (for the next time the main sewer line backs up), and books aplenty.

About $3 spent. There was so much crafty goodness at the second sale - the lady was obviously a knitting and quilting machine and had saved everything. Too bad i had a baby on my hip and 2 kids who kept touching everything - I would have dived into those piles and probably come up with some goodies.

Looks like we’re heading to the in-laws for the holiday weekend. Small town parades, illegal fireworks and Zoey’s pizza, here we come!
