Saturday Scores

Spring has sprung which means yard sales have begun!  {Yes, I love yard sales so much it makes me rhyme.}  I accept that this post will likely appeal to a niche group of readers but I have found that even my friends who find no joy in waking at 6am on Saturday morning to rummage through a stranger's trash {& treasures} still enjoy seeing my finds.  So, I thought I would share them with you here.

Since this is my 1st post let's start with some of my all-time favorite finds.  Given; many of my treasures are not blog-worthy in beauty but their value is in usefulness.  Yard sales help me to enjoy buying things I don’t enjoy buying.  For instance, I needed a tray to go underneath my washer when I bought my house.  My dad and I came home with one on the same day.  He spent $25, I spent $1; his was promptly returned to Lowe’s and I was super excited {about a washer tray nonetheless}! 



Through the summer months I plan to post my Saturday Scores and hope you enjoy seeing that you really can still get something for {close to} nothing!

Feel free to share your finds in the comments!

Hi Kristina! I guess I could actually list my finds huh? lol :) I bought 7 vintage table cloths, 2 flower pots, a welcome mat, a bag of pillow stuffing, a pyrex casserole dish, 2 aluminum strainers and an {$75} ikea storage tower- all for less than $30 and all before 9am :) Will do a better job of 'listing' going forward, thanks so much for taking the time to read!

    This is where I {erin} will throw in some thoughts, what we’re learning and what’s coming out of our beautiful mess of a life and mess of a sewing room.
