I woke up early this morning, ready to go. The boys are back in school today, and I’ve got a de-cluttering date with the contractor bags. I had put off Spring cleaning while the kids were on Spring break. Now that they are busy at school, hopefully I can get the house back into shape.
Better get to it. Happy Monday!
Oh, how I am missing sunny Spring yard sales. We ventured over to MO yesterday to run a few errands, and drive around a bit to look at houses. I kept my eyes peeled for, home for sale signs, and garage sale signs. We found a few houses to look at, but no yard sales though…
I thought I would share some of my favorite yard sale finds from 2013. As well as a few things that I am hoping to find in 2014.
Seriously, Spring and those fantastic yard sales can’t get here soon enough.
I was super happy to find a Pyrex butter dish tucked away at a yard sale.
I found some super cool vintage luggage too.
I love to pick up sheets for the kids beds. I have found lots of them for around fifty cents.
I like to collect kitschy art. Yard sales are a great place to find inexpensive and unique pieces.
I picked up this great plant for just $1.00!
I found one of my very favorite paintings at a little shop. They opened their doors, just for one day on the city-wide yard sale. The sweetest little lady ran the sale. I came home with lots of treasures from that sale.
Serving Trays are another item that I’m always looking for. I’m a bit clumsy in the kitchen, and I’ve been known to break them. This one was just $.75 .
We girls (Agnes, my Mother in law, and I) went to a great sale at a local Christian School. They had some amazingly cute kids clothes, and the prices were fantastic.
I love to pick-up kids toys and books at yard sales. We have lots of readers in our house, and we are always in need of new reading material.
Here are a few things that I’m looking for this Yard Sale season.
Once again, books. Kids books to be specific. Agnes isn’t reading yet, but she might be soon. I have been building a little collection for her.
I’ll be looking for yarn. Every once in a while, I’ll come across some. I love it too. The yard sale yarn adds a little something extra to my projects.
Oh how I hope I can come across some large vintage Pyrex bowls. Any colors, any styles, fingers crossed, hoping for the best.
Spring and Summer clothes for the kiddos are also on my list to find.
I would like to find some useable storage. It would be great to find affordable, and fits our mid-century style cabinets, dressers, or bookshelves. Every single room in our house is in need of some storage help.
And last but not least vintage Pyrex. Once again any color, any print, as long as it is milk glass. I really hope to find a few pieces this yard sale season.
Long day, and I’m slowly catching up. So not only am I very behind on housework, laundry, dishes, but I’m also behind on my posting too. This one is a little late this month…
February was a funny month. There was a lot that went on, house related, but not a lot of pictures were taken. Maybe with Spring’s arrival this month, I’ll be better about getting some photos.
I do have a few to share though…
We finally celebrated Thade’s 10th birthday with a big party at our house. The first one was canceled due to an ice storm. The house was full of noisy boys, and it was really fun.
I still can’t believe that Thade is ten!
Dylan has been reading to Agnes, and Mia Pup too. He has read seventy six books so far.
Dylan also lost two teeth during February.
We’ve been trying out different hair-styles for the Miss. She loves pig-tails!
I finished up a crochet project.
I started another one too.
Here are a few random ones from around the house.
Here’s a little Robin that we spotted at school.
I think that Miss Mia pup is ready for Spring walks…
We’ll see what March brings our way.
I’m so excited, we don’t have any plans for today!!!
That’s right no errands, and no plans. Yay for a lazy Thursday!!!
The kiddos are out of school today for an elementary planning day, and they are pretty happy about it too. I am also, it was nice sleeping in a bit on Monday.
I have no idea what we’ll be up to today. The weather is greatly improving, and the house is a mess. We should probably stay in and tidy up, but maybe we can venture out for a bit.
Hope you are having a Happy Monday!
