I heart yardsales

I’m a bargain gal.  Don’t get me wrong, I like the things I buy to be good quality and usually, preferably vintage, but there’s definitely a thrill from finding something fantastic for a deal.

Mike and I visited a few yard sales on Saturday. One in particular I was very excited about because it mentioned that there was a lot of vintage stuff available. When we walked up it was definitely a hodge podge of stuff and the backyard was even hodgier and podgier, but there were fantastic deals to be found and definitely a lot of cool vintage items.  I’m trying to cut back on spending and especially accumulating, after just moving and realizing how much stuff we have, but I couldn’t resist.

$5.00 people!  For 3 fabulous vintage bags, 2 bottles of vintage perfume and a train case in perfect condition.

The best part?

These keys were still inside the case. 

Saturday ended with a house party. And by house party I mean bbq at our house with Mike’s sister, brother-in-law and two nephews that included baseball in our backyard and ended with dancing to Neil Diamond, ABBA and the like in the living room, complete with a 5 year commandeering the strobe/dimmer switch and ending with, of course, a chorus line to the best ending song of any night,  New York, New York.  

Life is good.

Pictures will follow, of course.
