vacation treasures...

06 July 2009

Well, hello friends!
I'm back!
Kind of.
I'm here, but I feel like my brain and body haven't quite caught up from a week at a family reunion and then the 4th festivities. I did manage to find some treasures though~I have to show you this:

We had a family reunion with my husband's side of the family in Allen, Texas. (Any of you from around there? It was beautiful!) Anyway, they rented out a big house with a pool for us all to get together and as we were driving in, look what I saw:


Okay, and now look at the houses that were having the sale:


Aaaahhhhhh! Stop the car! Stop the car!



I did go over in the morning with some of my sil's and was dying that we didn't have any room in our van to bring anything big back. The house in the second picture had TONS of home decor stuff. We were just packed and I knew I wouldn't be able to fit anything big, and I was salivating over a bench and table for $15 each, but sadly enough, I left them for someone else to find.
I did pick up a few smaller things though:

A Bumbo!! It was crazy; my sil, Maryn had brought hers for her baby and we were seeing how great it was and how we needed to get one, etc, etc and lo and behold, what was at the top house for $3?? A Bumbo! A few crayon marks, but still in great shape. I seriously have never seen one of these at a yard sale, so I was thrilled.


I got this great wooden box for a dollar, and a bunch of cork tiles for $1 for the whole bunch. I'm not crazy about the hearts, but..


I think it will be perfect if I put the hearts against a wall or shelf. What do you think?


Oh, it's good to be back! Happy Monday, y'all!
