Yard Sailing…

Saturday was not for the faint of heart yard sailors! It was a day for bargains and for absolute commitment to sailing, rain or shine! We had the best time, my husband and I, in a neighborhood sailing event where every garage was open with treasures….I so believe that people throw away things I cannot afford to buy every day….and Saturday was one of those days! One of the most exciting moments was when the car’s owner asked what size I wore, (8.5 or 9 N) and she took me to an immaculate closet and handed me 8…EIGHT…pairs of pumps in amazing brands that were brand new…she had had foot surgury and can no longer wear them and had just bought them on sale last fall for the spring! I asked what she would like for them and she said $1…I counted out $8 and she said, “No, $1 for all!” I was flabbergasted, these are brands I love Atienne Aeigner, Chaus, Pappagallo, and all brand new and in colors I love! My treasures cost less that $2.50 total! I went back later in the day to show her a pair that matched a suit of mine perfectly (and to let her know I am not always the drowned rat I was that morning….she is in ministry as well and understands tough budgets and needing to have nice enough clothes to not stand out! (Well with the VW golf car for son it was $702.50 but he paid for the car!)

The plate rack has a rooster header on it, but right now, it won’t fit under my cabinets if the rooster is on, so it’ll have a bow on it for now to hide the screw sticking up. The vase is so fun and so milky white. the sign simply makes me smile. God is good and the winds were favorable for another great yard sail event despite the rain!

This morning my husband was given a wooden door to replace the yuck on going to my garage, I am so excited, its the exact size and has a 1/2 swing open top like the cute doors in the farm houses have….I love wooden anything and this will so improve our kitchen entry!

Happy Sailing this spring! God is good….and works in mysterious ways!
