How I spent my Saturday morning...

I haven't been to a garage or estate sale since last year, so since I didn't have to work, my mom and I decided to brave the heat.  We had to battle road work and dig through dozens of unmarked boxes, but I think I found some good stuff.  I only spent $8 on everything I've included here.

Hope you have a great weekend!

We don't really have a good "flea market" around here, unless you're looking for old VHS tapes or used stuffed animals.  But I do enjoy taking someone else's "trash" and turning it into a treasure for my home.  Here is some inspiration from Better Homes & Gardens on using flea market finds in your own home.

My Living Room

Here are some photos of my living room.  My mantel is bare right now until I get my fall stuff out, so I didn't take any of that side of the room.

A little bit of a sneak peek...

If you've read some of my blog posts, you know that my husband and I have been rehabbing an old 1925 house.  I found this before shot of 1/2 of my living room so I thought I'd snap a photo of what it looks like right now.

Here are some other little areas around my house that make me happy:

 

  

 

We still have a TON of work to do, but it's starting to feel like home.

Is it spring yet?

I don't know about all of you, but I am ready for garage sale season!  These photos make me long for the days of driving around with an iced coffee and my Magellan.

Unfortunately, according to the forecast we are due for snow.  A cruel reminder that winter has just begun.

Here are some of my favorites I picked up last season.  2009 was the year of the Ball jar.
