I didn't go this weekend... no car and no sales close by.

I won't have a car next weekend either, but I will have DD drag me up to the garden sale at the COA and the $5 bag sale at the Children's Orchard... on June 7th.... I need this time to mentally prepare myself for the hunt

[Frugal Nurse]

No more STUFF allowed in my house. So no yard sale shopping for me.

I lead a simple uncluttered life.

But I have to say..... when I read your post... I was thinking..
Hey! wait! someone ELSE bought EXACTLY what you did!!!
and I see... I looked at your blog and saw what you bought last week. LOL! Silly me.

Great finds BTW!!

No more STUFF allowed in my house.

Ya ya Mom... I know... clean, clear, uncluttered but I need the plants... and I can't have my DD running around naked because she had yet another growth spurt
