Big Love for the Yard Sales!

When we were little girls, Saturday morning was saved for garage sales. We loved going with our mama in high hopes of scouring major deals. She taught us to look, look and look some more. You never know what hidden treasure you might find, and at what price you can negotiate : ) Every year now in the early spring we get excited for a major sale in Ottawa: The Lawn Bowling Yard Sale! It is a combination of baking, books, and old odds and ends. We thought today we would share with you a few of our great finds. If you happen to be in Ottawa in the Spring, check it out. It's definitely worth your time.

 

What did we pick up for ten dollars?

 

We love vases of all shapes and sizes! 

 

Books! Books! Books and more Books! Leah and I found a few really neat old children's books, and a copy of old folk hymns from 1959.

Art for the artist! Charlotte found a great copy of Warhol's cat print. 

Baskets for flowers, baskets for buns, baskets for...you fill in the blank : ) We love baskets and use them to hold many things. 

and...my favourite find is the tall silver pot. On first glance I had no idea what it was, but inside is a perfect strainer..it is an asparagus pot! Doesn't every girl need an asparagus pot?
