We had two estate sales in the neighborhood yesterday. While the boys were at school, I popped by both. Holy moly! Boy, were they loaded! I could have gone crazy at the second one but the prices were a bit steep. I might head over later today to see if there are any better deals to be had. Love the religious statue. I can't recall the saint's name though. The chalkboards are real slate. I can't...
I found this frame at an estate sale a couple of months ago. At first, I was going to paint it white but the blue hue kind of grew on me. It's kind of a weird, long size so I wasn't sure what to do with it. Finally, I decided to make it into a chalkboard frame. I attached some self-sticking chalkboard paper to a cardboard insert.

Finally, I decided to test some Avery label paper on the canvas part and here's how they came out: I love...

The Mother of All Garage Sale Loot
I am definitely not a morning person. But it pays off when you stay awake after dropping the kids off at school and head out for some garage sale shopping. You cannot believe the loot I scored today. I can hardly believe it myself. So hard to contain my excitement! Lookie: This old sewing box is just what I need for my craft room. I love the old ad and image on the front. I'm...
