i don't know about everyone else, but i live for garage sales, swap meets and big fancy flea markets.
from the time i can remember, my grandma loved to sift through people's old junk because one person's trash is another person's treasure. cliche'. i know. but oh so true! my boyfriend and i go to garage sales almost every weekend to see what fun things we can find.
i found these cute pictures online and decided it was time to confess. it's just a fun little quirk that we have. we got the most bad a picture for our office not too long ago. i will have to post it here sometime. but in the mean time, i will tell you about my find.
we were driving looking for any signs of a garage sale, anywhere. we spot a little sign that says there is a group of people selling their 'stuff' at the clubhouse of their apartment complex. so of COURSE, we head for the group sale. the first thing that catches our eye is this HUGE black and white painting of president lincoln. we fell in love. we knew we wanted it but hesitated on asking the price, for it was way too amazing to be anything less than a couple hundred dollars. it was hand painted and about 4feetx4feet.
we broke down and asked the price. the woman who painted this glorious masterpiece was moving out of state and really just needed to get rid of it. she told us she wanted $30.00. THIRTY DOLLARS! We jumped up and took it right away!!! It is absolutely gorgeous.
Like i said, i will post pictures soon. :) but in the mean time, please enjoy the photos below and feel free to comment about your own garage sale finds!!
