Garage Sale Finds

First...
Check out the awesome giveaway Rubyellen is doing over at her blog Cakies. Enter for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate for Ms Tips Etsy shop. She has a lot of great affordable vintage items.


My Finds
I've been going to more estate sales than garage sales. That's where I find the most vintage things. It can be sad going through someone's house that you know just passed away, especially if their family is there. You get to walk through their house, go through their closets, and take their things. I like to think that I'm giving their things a good home.

Here are some lovely things I brought home on Saturday.



 Wooden fish dishes and vintage scarf


See that 1984 book by George Orwell? First Edition for 50 cents!




In Doggy News

On Friday, Lia had surgury to remove one of her back toes. She had a bone infection from a previous injury (we adopted her from the shelter). She has to wear the cone for 10 days, even at night. Tomorrow we take her in for a check up to see how the foot is healing. Poor baby.
