A couple weekends ago I checked out a multi-family estate sale with so many rooms of stuff I got lost trying to find my way out. No joke. It was awesome. I wanted to buy a lot more but I had to pick and choose because a lot of items were overpriced. Here’s what I found: Cute leather shoes: $8 Wood cutting board with feet: $5 Fabric glasses case: $0.50 White linen: $4 Black and white gingham: $2 The pieces of fabric are for projects you’ll see here on the blog. The shoes and glasses case were just for fun. I’m especially excited about the shoes. They’re so cute! Reimagine how you think about secondhand stuff and you can find some real gems.

While my boyfriend and his dad split wood (you read that right) and dug up gravel, his mom and I visited her booth at Old Towne Antiques, an antique mall in Doolittle, Missouri. The antique mall is where we found these goodies: This metal stovetop ring cost $1.50. Here I used it to frame a mason jar filled with flowers, but it could also be used as a picture frame….or…or…ideas anyone? I picked the flowers on the side of the road during a pit stop on the drive home. (They might be weeds, but I don’t know the difference.) This ladybug necklace, which I’m only using for the chain, cost $0.25. I’ve been looking for a longer necklace chain for a while. I think I’ll use...
