Yard sales and a Quick Redo
Yesterday was the annual pilgrimage to the Yard Sales of the Rich and Famous as we like to call it. Actually, I think it was my SIL who first said that and the name has stuck. These yard sales are in a housing development about 35 miles from where we live. It was the 23rd year this year for them and they are so popular that they turn the streets to one way and have police directing traffic. They are beautiful homes and I enjoy the walking and looking at every one's landscaping as much as the yard sales...well almost. This was Kendall's first yard saleing trip and she did wonderful! How we are training this new generation!
So here are some of my finds.
Three wool coats $5 each
Wool sweater .75
Set of four suitcases $3.oo for the set.
Two teapots .75 each 
Shutters $3.00
was this little rocking chair for $25. Now don't gasp in horror or anything because I painted it. I know that there are some out there that would not paint something like this..
But for where I wanted to put it, painting was my option.
Today's projects are my sewing room closet and the cupboard in my painting room. I need room in the sewing room closet and have shelves to put in there and the painting closet needs a shelf cleaned off for my latest addiction...paper crafts or altered art or whatever we want to call it but it now has grown to need it's own space.

The BEST gift of yesterday and I can't thank him enough. I left my filthy car at my daughters house for the day while we shopped and when I got back, my son-in-law had washed and WAXED my car and cleaned the inside...even scrubbling the carpet. It was like an episode of Clean House or Trick my Truck or something! My smart aleck daughters made some comments about forgetting what color my car actually was but in truth I forgot how pretty the color actually is. It is called Black Amethyst and it really looks like that again. Thank-you, thank-you THANK-YOU was all that I could say! What a special gift!!!!!
