Yard Sale Treasures...

Another random post... We've been having fun yard-saling as a family this summer, everyone likes getting up super early to see what treasures we can find!! Even the kids love it... I've found some great things for around the house in the past few weeks and you want to see, right??? :)

Love this "faith" frame for 25 cents! We've been clinging to this verse a lot lately on this adoption journey and I was tickled to find it on a frame. It has a perfect spot on my desk.

Basket for bath goodies...25 cents... Neat curtain hold backs for the curtains in our master bath...brand new in the package for 50 cents!
I had been wanting one of these stars for a spot on our garage...I found this one black and rusted for 50 cents! A little spray paint fixes anything!!
Set of 3 Pottery Barn frames for the baby's room...they have spots for their hand prints at newborn, six months, and one year old. I splurged and paid $ 2 for the set of three because I REALLY wanted them!!
I've found lots of neat things for my new "music/fun room"... I turned this $ 1 black metal planter into a cute magazine/book basket.
Tin sign for the fun room...$1
Another frame for the red room...this one was 25 cents...I decided to put some of my favorite old pictures of the kiddos in it. Look how little they are!!!
More frames for the red room...the lady that sold me the pottery barn frames for the nursery gave me these with them...she said I could have them since they were just "junk" frames...whatever?!?! What is one man's junk is another man's treasure!!
Last, but not least...one of my favorite finds...I've always wanted something to fill this giant space when you walk down the stairs...found this last week for one dollar!!!

What fun! I love the family plaque! Noticed you have A Mom after God's own Heart. Have you started reading it yet? The homeschool moms are planning on going through it this year.
