I have brought home a lot of box lots from auctions and estate sales. And dug through in hopes of finding some sort of fun treasure. I don’t think I have ever expected to find anything of real monetary value – more “that is so great, look at the old chippy paint”. But I found [...]

Yesterday, I shared how I managed to hit two great auctions and an estate sale in one week and the finds I managed to come home with. This is part two. There is a definite theme here… I would not normally have picked up nutcrackers, but they were for Peanut, she has been asking me [...]

This is a repost from last night since the link seems to have been infiltrated with spam! If you have read my blog for a bit, you know that last year I had my first “sale”. It was scary, and I did it, and then I did it again. I thought once I went through [...]

I shared with you how we went away for a few days to visit some dear friends in Nevada. Now, no trip to visit Debby would be complete with out a day of treasure hunting. So while the men folk took our girls into Carson City to see the museums and the capital (and lots [...]

Last year, I hit several great auctions during the winter and early spring. This year, they have not been as good or I have been unable to attend the ones with good potential. I was starting to get very frustrated. Recently, I have had better luck though – with two estate sales run by the [...]

Yup, it is true. I have a reputation. A reputation for liking old and dirty stuff. And, if it is old and dirty and has our name on it? Shut. The. Front. Door. Yup, that is what I said when our friend and neighbor brought me out to our driveway to see what he had [...]

The last two weeks have been about tweaking my home. The details, the personal items, the things I love. I feel like I reached a certain point after our renovations and then I stopped. Of course, the holidays were a time to decorate. But, right now, I am trying to make our home personal and [...]

These are my Paternal Grandparents. I never met them, they died years before I was born. This is the house in Connecticut that my Grandfather built bit by bit for a summer cottage for their family. Last Sunday, we (me, hubby, sister, girls and Dad) went up there. I had not been since I was [...]
