love a yard sale

What a better way to start the weekend, than hitting up some good old yard sales! A great opportunity to bring other peoples junk into my junked up garage. And today was a good yard sale day. I am on a mission for a great dresser to use in my foyer and that mission was not completed today but I did get some other goodies that were on my list to buy. Two items I was headed out to buy this weekend, first, Addison needs new ballet shoes. Found some in her size in great shape...$2 Second, my mom is redoing Addison's room and Addison is dying for a canopy over her bed. Mom was sending me to Pottery Barn today to buy a $100 canopy...found one for $4...it will need a new fabric at the top, but it is a worth a try!

Here is the picture of my finds... all for $38
(You can't see the canopy in this shot but it is in great shape!)

There are two of the mirrors and stacks of Little Golden books and cars books. The baskets are for the playroom with the plan to paint them, but they were a little more "used" than I thought and may be worthless...but they were only $4 for 6. A super neat find was the Fisher Price Mother Goose duck pull toy, from 1955. I planned to just display in the play room, but the kids have loved it!!!

I also need to post this picture of Addison, she LOVES to cut and play with her scissors. Today when I was fixing lunch, I let her cut the piece of card stock that comes around a package of Juicy Juice. On the back it had memory game cards to cut out, so I told her to cut along the dotted lines. She did an incredible job! I was so

proud of her straight lines and how well she stayed on the dotted line. Course I let her keep the scissors out, so

she kept cutting and we ended up with tiny pieces of paper every where!

Next week starts a 31 day organization challenge! Gotta make myself get it done!!!
