'Tis The Season....

'Tis the Season for estate and garage sales galore around here!! And...let me just say, this year, I have NOT been missing out! In fact, it has become one of my favorite things to do on a beautiful sunny day.


You see, last year about this time I was in the midst of wedding planning and there was just simply not enough time to think about (or do) anything else...haha! Seriously though, I barely accepted help from anyone (even though I had lots of offers) because I was too concerned with burdening others with my wedding madness! Looking back, I probably wouldn't change a thing...(I guess that is the control freak in me coming out) haha! Anyway, I digress....back to the spring sales!

Maybe it's the fact that I missed out last year, or maybe it's the fact that I am in the middle of outfitting my new office/craft room with little items that inspire me, but whatever it is one thing is clear...I am not holding back this year!!

I have been all over town (and even some neighboring towns during our little weekend visits) scouring the sales to see what kind of treasures I just can't live without. In fact, I went to an estate sale today at lunch and hit the jackpot!! It was the home of a collector with may treasures and bargains to be found. I left with my arms full and it seriously made my day! :) But, another post about that later....

Here are a few of my recent treasure hunting finds from the last couple of weeks....









We are leaving for another weekend adventure tomorrow to go see my mom and step-dad for his birthday. I am looking forward to visiting with family, kicking back and having a wonderful and relaxing mini-vacay! :) Oh yeah...and bringing these little guys back with me!! :)
