Saturday in a Small Town
Three years ago my family moved from the busy suburbs to a small town (borough) nestled in the rolling hills and fruit orchards of Pennsylvania. We absolutely love it and only occasionally miss the conveniences of the suburbs. This morning we hit some yard sales. I found a few interesting things to share with you, […]
Don’t Hate Me…More Goodwill Goodies
I’m linking to Frugalicious Friday over at my blog friend, Jane’s Finding Fabulous. Make sure you check out this new blog party! I’m almost afraid to show all of you everything I found all at one Goodwill yesterday. I have been very fortunate lately with my thrift store & yard sale finds…don’t hate me. This […]
Sometimes it Feels Like Robbery
Today my finds were about quality, not quantity. I ran over to the church yard sale across the street from our house (we live in a little downtown area) while my husband was home for lunch. There wasn’t a lot there, but I found a couple of great things! This vintage Pyrex refrigerator box set […]

Goodwill Was Good to Me
Today I made a run over to Goodwill and it was very good to me. Lately, I have been scoring big time, but I do have dry spells, too…just wait. Anyway, I found all of this great stuff at one place for $24.00… This is an antique cobalt blue enamel roasting pan. A great find […]
And the winner is…
It was really tough to narrow the 100 Followers Giveaway entries down to my favorites. I started a list and it was ridiculously long. I loved the idea of doing a monogrammed piece, a delft bread box, or making it function to hold makeup or craft supplies. I finally narrowed it down to 11, then […]
