Junk with Rebecca...

Today my big girl and I were sick of the beach. Sick of the sand, sick of sunscreen and sick of summer.

Since David and Lily needed more beach time, Rebecca and I did the only thing that two girls unencumbered by a husband and a little sister could be expected to do.

We junked.

Having Rebeca with me, noticing things and just being cheerful was the greatest prize of the day.

I will not allow that child to ever move away. Resolved.

Anyway, on this adventure I brought my camera and the battery. Let's go!


















That quilt is for Francis. I should have taken another photo up close so that you could see all of the state birds a bit better.

After we junked, we stopped for this.


I did come home with a few treasures.

This iron plant holder thingy was originally $45, but it was marked down to $5. I snapped that baby up speedy quick!


Puglsey is there to provide scale.



Do not ask me where I am going to put this. It is an unimportant detail. It was $12 and it needed a home.



Okay. Seriously, I don't know what I am going to do with this old vegetable bin. But it's rusty. And turquoise. And chippy. And it was only $6!



 I found this thermos at the Salvation Army in Hyannis when I was shopping on Friday.

It's from England! That means it's fancy.


Finally, I picked up an "S". I love letters, especially letters which have meaning in my life.


It was a perfectly lovely afternoon with a perfectly lovely child.

Delight, bliss and love.

Hi, Sara--Thanks for the quilt picture, (and Cheryl I will magnify it (thanks for the tip!)). You have no idea how much I want to go junking with you (and Rebecca!) one of these days. How on earth do you find so much great stuff? I want to know your secret!

Amazing junk! I like the scale and the turquoise bin would be nice for magazines or something.

We don't have good junk like that around here.
