here and there: good finds
-We picked these two up off the street at the airport yesterday! We're excited to have them spend the week with us!
-It's bulk trash week in the neighborhood. AKA--treasure hunting week. Chris and I snagged this bench from the side of the road the other night and I can't wait to give it a new life!
Last night we enjoyed a picnic of brie, focaccia bread, olives, pepperoni, fruit and wine while soaking in this rosy sunset at the beach. 'Twas lovely.

I'm so thankful to have a husband who encourages my dumpster diving!
-I've been searching for a cheap reasonably priced white tray for our coffee table for a good while now. I've passed by this one a few times at Target and I actually bought it the other day. Guess how much I got it for?
$4.98.
I think it was originally twenty some bucks. It was on the clearance shelf but it didn't have a sticker and wouldn't scan right in the price checker. I carried it around until I found an employee and when he came back and told me it was under $5 I said, "I'll take it!"
I was thinking about painting over the tray bottom (of course, my mind always goes there) but it actually has a lot of cities that Chris and I have been to and I like it alot more in my home than I did in the store, so I might just *gasp* leave it alone.
Anyone else have some great little finds this week? I think it's so funny how a simple discovery can make me feel happy for days....
-A discovery like seeing that I have some new followers today!
[woo to the hoo!]

ReplyDeleteHope you have fun with your visitors! You are so cute with your trash pick-up! What a great husband to support you!
ReplyDeleteI found a little kids table at a garage sale this morning that I couldn't resist. It is from Denmark, wood painted white, with chalk board paint in the center. two chairs. one bench with storage under the seat! little cushions with blue on one side and blue and white plaid on the other. Rearranged the glass room and tucked this in the corner looking oh so inviting for grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteI <3 bulk pick up! It's one of my favorite activities. I can't wait to see what you do with that bench. It's got good "bones".
