Rummage Sale Finds

This past week we spotted a sign. Two words that made our hearts beat with excitement:

Rummage Sale! 

It's beginning again friends and we can't tell you how much we missed a really great rummage sale. This past Saturday we were lucky, because there was not one, but two local churches holding sales! Yahoo! It was our first time going to both and we are so grateful we went. 



























Be still our little shopper hearts! It was a blast and we had so much fun. We walked into the first one at Parkdale United Church here in Ottawa and were overwhelmed. There were tables and racks of clothing, a stage full of books and tables of cut lace, doilies, fabric and dishes everywhere. This sale happens twice a year, and if you are in the Ottawa area you should most definitely keep your eyes open for it.  The next one is in the Autumn and we promise to keep you posted about it. 

The second sale was at St Mathias, just down the street. There were books galore, more clothing and lots of jewelry. Our mama found the cutest doily coasters and a pink dress for our sweet baby girl.  St Mathias also has this sale twice a year. We are so grateful we walked in, and love that our money went to a good cause too, as all proceeds went to the two local parishes. 

What else did we find at the rummage sales? 

Embroidered lace handkerchiefs, napkins, tablecloths and place mats
