like a hole in my head
i know, i just got rid of a butt-load of books. but i hit my first tag sale of the season today and there was a decent selection of vintage books and they were 10 cents each so i got a couple. i gave each one a lot of consideration and only chose those i knew i would use for something. plus, the little red riding hood book is adorable...
i usually see some familiar faces while yard-saling (i'm often w/one of these girls). today i think i saw this local blogger, though i was already late for work and she was on the other side of the room so i didn't have time to go introduce myself (it was you, wasn't it tonya?). anyway, all that to say that you can't throw a stick at a portland tag sale w/out hitting a crafty and/or bloggy type.
and i know i said i would have some crafts to show off here this week, but it has been freaking glorious outside and we've been trying to make the most of it. the kids have next week off, and we have zero plans, so hopefully i'll get some stuff done then.
until then, happy weekending!
have a great weekend! i hadn't even thought about it being garage sale weather. mm...

ah! rummage sale season is coming too quickly on the heels of the purging/tossing/cleaning roll I'm on right now. I'm not ready!
This weather, however, I will take. I hope you enjoy it all weekend long, meg!

Well hello there! For some reason it has been ages since my computer has been able to load your blog, so what with that and my own recent internet blackout, I am way behind here and catching up. This post made me remember that I wanted to ask you what you look for in children's books for your decoupage projects (I seem to recall you once saying you only use uncopyrighted illustrations...). Anyway, let me know and I'll keep my eye out for you on my yard sale rounds, since the season is beginning!
