Coupons

Here's a blog I found that gives coupons for all kinds of businesses. I found one for Michaels, printed it out and it worked great at the store!

Fun Fun Fun!

Can I just say how much I love church rummage sales? They have the absolute COOLEST things because they are mostly run by old ladies who donate sweet vintagy stuff. Here's what I got:

Colorful scarves, costume jewelry, 3 melmac plates, Tupperware lunchbox, metal measuring cups (which you can never have too many of!), and a little Osterizer mini-blend lidded container.

 

Lots and lots of sundress patterns from the '70's and '80's, so cute! 2 1/2 balls of finely handspun wool, 12 cloth napkins and several books (not all pictured). I'm going to start buying the Sat. paper so I can make sure I hit all of the rummage sales this summer!

Lookie What I Found!

Now this is a sweet vintag-ey ride! We were driving home the other day and saw this baby sitting on the corner of the road with a "For Sale" sign on it. I am SO not above getting free stuff off the street, but to pay for it? It had to be a good price for me to even consider it.

Well, the sign said $50. Gulp... maybe I didn't need it after all. But then a wonderful thing happened. A scroungy looking college kid walked out of the nearest house. Yes! I knew I would probably be able to talk him down. I asked him if he was willing to go any lower, he said that was fine.

Now if he had been a real adult I probably would have asked if he would go for $40, but he looked in desperate need of some beer money, so I offered $30. His face lit up with approval. The bike was mine! 

Well, actually I got it for Moriah, seein' as how I love her and all!
(And now she can ride to the grocery store for me!)
