When you need something new, why go out and buy something? This week we were able to get all kinds of things that we needed out of other people's driveways.

Today was the Terry-Taylor Garage Sale. It is an entire neighborhood that has a garage sale every year on the first Saturday in August for about the past 20 years. It's quite a big deal around here!

But we were successful and found what we needed and a little bit more, including a Christmas gift for my sister!

my newest project for the dining room
the most dinosaur-y cd rack ever!
now our family room looks better and is
MUCH more comfortable!

The room looks great with your "new" furniture!!
When we lived in Longview, the night before the sale Jeff and I would drive to the neighborhood. We could get some idea of what was out there. Then, we would park 1 car where I wanted to end up, or have it centrally located. The next morning, Jeff would simply drop me off and then I could shop as much as I wanted, but still had a good parking place (so that I wouldn't have to walk forever to dump off my treasures so I could do more shopping). Worked great for the several years I got to go...
