Today is Thursday, and where I live that means today is garage sale day. Yes, garage sales are also on Friday and Saturday, but the majority of the sales start on Thursday. That means I wrote this post last night, and as you are reading this, I am probably out making the rounds -- knocking over old people trying to get all the good stuff. Just kidding, I only knock over the people my own age and younger. So as you are getting ready for your day, I am bargaining ... VIEW POST

Aqua Chevron Striped Table
Happy Monday everyone!!! I hope you all had a great weekend! It was so beautiful here! I took the pups on walks, got shoes for the unnamed child to wear to Homecoming, went to visit my new little niece (who is ridiculously adorable), picked up an amazing old door off Craigslist, and finished a table.
