A Yard Sale-ing I Go

This morning I set out at 6:30, looking for a dresser and bookshelf. The deals were plentiful. I could have bought a large botanical print for $4 or shoes for $2, but I chose these things:

Not pictured: $3-my color Mary Kay blush, $4-2 car jacks that I used to replace the wood supports under Gem's queen bed frame.

$1, 12 picture announcements
$1, Scrapbook with pages and stickers



$1, some Summer reading for Shakespeare--and a very hopeful book for Sinatra:



$.05, a small ceramic watering can that will be spray painted white and added to my pot of tulips on the front stoop:



Now we come to a find that elicits two opposite emotions for me: delight and cringe, delight because I LOVE this thick, blousy, quality bunting hanging on each section of my front porch (I bought three), and cringe because I paid $25 for the set. (Yes, Jon, you read that wrong--think $2.50, my Love) She asked for $30. As I walked away I knew in my gut that she would have taken $15. BUT...every year on the 4th of July and on flag day I will not feel cringe, just delight.
