MrD and I decided to hit a few garage sales today. The first one we went to, we both bought something. I found two vintage brooches that I may use for crafting projects. I also got a pair of vintage clip-on earrings, that I'm going to take the backs off of and place them on a ring instead. They're all interesting pieces of jewelry. I also bought three children's magazines which were printed in 1965. I wasn't even born yet! So that's pretty cool. I found an Old Maid card game in its original box that I was going to use for collages, but after counting the cards and finding out they really are all there and that they were printed a longggg time ago, I'm thinking I'm going to keep them. I bought a children's educational card set that was printed in 1959 that I might use for some projects. We'll see.
We hit a couple of other garage sales that didn't have anything before making it to our fourth and final one. There I found some crochet books, never used crochet thread in sizes 20 & 30 (which I have a hard time finding, and some really pretty material remnants. Now to figure out what to do with it all.
I started this morning out having to get Nik to school 30 minutes earlier than normal for band. It was 56 degrees then, so I put on a pair of sweats. By the time we got home from our garage sales, it was a balmy 75 and I was sweatin' bullets. I was happy to get home and change into shorts. Now I'm off to get some housework done, then hopefully craft a bit before picking Nik up. She volunteers at the library today, then not long after that, she has to go to band practice again. They're in a parade this weekend, as well as playing at a university football game, so it's going to be a busy Friday & Saturday for her. I like that she's busy, though. Keeps her off the computer. And away from the boy that wants her to move to PA. I'll be glad when they both move on to the real lives that lay in front of them instead of living in some fantasy of being together. Anyway, that's a whole other post, and I'm in a good mood right now, so why spoil it? :D
Happy Thursday!
