- a small, but tall (3-4 feet?), painted white wooden table. . .in my entrance way - aka the wall space to the left of the door. :) Great and decorative place to toss my keys. She wanted $28 I paid $23 and feel good about it, saw lots of other tables I liked but they were way out of my price range.
- a wooden basket to place shoes in next to my coat rack, originally used for apple picking and storing purposes. At some point I might try to stain the wood a darker brown. She wanted $9, I paid $7.
- a cute little while birdie. . .definitely don't need it but couldn't pass it up. It's perched in a black tray, along with a green candle, and my keys . . . on top of my table. She wanted $4, I paid $3.
Bartering is fun! :) Too bad they don't let me barter at Costco - made a trip out there today (I act like it's far away, nothing is far when you live in the city, maybe 10 min) and finally bought a camera to replace the one I broke in the Spring. Meaning there may finally be pictures on this blog again. Maybe.
Oh - and incase you are not sure if you trust the muffin recipe I put up yesterday, I'm telling you. . .the church folk devoured them, I will be making them again very soon - you should make them too!

Oh, I'm so excited that you got a little table to put by the front door! I would love to see a picture of it!! I'm convinced to try the pumpkin muffin recipe; thanks for passing it along!
I love garage sales and antique shops and thrift shops and finding fun treasures. I've had to hold off on those for now since we are in such a small place and can't fit all our stuff in. Maybe by next year we will be in a bigger place and I'll be able to really jazz up our new home. Thanks for sharing your life, your ministry and your recipes. Will have to try those muffins. hugs
