Page Update
So I updated my page today. Found a new website with great backgrounds and blinkies for our blog. I LOVED this quilt background the moment I saw it. For those of you who have been around me lately you know that my newest hobby is going to estate sales. It all started one Friday afternoon while I was driving to the post office. I stopped at the light and saw a a nice, large lettered sign hanging from the light post that said, "ESTATE SALE TODAY!" with a big red arrow pointed down the street. For some reason, my curiousity was peaked so I dropped off my mail and headed straight for the sale. It was kind of weird walking through somebodys house that is, well, how can I put this? Uh...that is...."no longer with us." When somebody passes away, sometimes the persons property and things are left in a trust. The family can sell everything and then divies up whatever profit is made from selling the deceased persons things. Did that come out okay? I don't want to offend anyone. Anyways, I stopped in and found the most beauiful quilts that would cost over $100 in the stores for 20 bucks each. I swiped up those babies in a heartbeat. And if you know me well, you know that I have TONS of blankets and we're always wrapped up in blankets all nice and cozy at my house. The crazy part of it all is that there are like 15 - 20 people walking all in and out of the house trying to find a deal of a life time. One lady bought a beautiful girls bedroom set for like $250. Footboard, headboard, two nightstands, desk, mirrored dresser and drawers...what a steal! Oh well...I can go on and on about what great finds there are, but I've spent way too much time updating the page to now keep on typing forever. I hope all is well with you, and keep on checking in on us....we've always got something interesting to share! 80)
