Aaron, on the other hand, did not grow up frequenting garage sales, and it's a phenomenon he doesn't quite understand. He ventured out with me this weekend, even in the midst of rain showers. What a testament to love.
Here's some of the loot. I haven't yet decided what will stay with us, and what I'll put in the shop.
Old Hardy Boys mysteries, a wire basket, brass candlesticks, and an old crock:
A couple of vintage puzzles, which I do want to keep. Aaron and I both love maps. I think the Missouri one would even look cool hanging on a wall.
These little cafe chairs. These just need a fresh coat of stain and new seat covers. The potential is there, trust me. We have a breakfast nook at the new house that they'll fit perfectly in.
And my favorite find, a red metal stool. It'd be great in a kid's room or in the kitchen. I'm keeping it for sure.
I joke that 90% of our house has come from garage sales or thrift stores. It might be closer to the truth than I realize.
Do you like to garage sale? Does your area have good garage sales?
