2 great weekends of estate sales and garage sales and even the Friday night Auction had some great stuff and good prices as the crowd was small....it was hard not to buy more but it wouldn't fit in my jeep..some of it was furniture..I would love to buy more furniture and refinish it but it is hard to store..
Storage is my problem right now...my house is too full of stuff and I need to get it to storage...my poor dogs have to maneuver around things but they do love to sniff out the new stuff...that is my plan for this week...we have a storage unit 10" x 20" with shelving so it is pretty organized right now...but also has a bunch of personal children christmas items in part of it....It is hard to pass up such good bargains that I find but getting the item listed and put in storage does take time especially since I am trying to get through the back up of stuff bought all winter....I know I eventually it just takes time...
So I bought a couple of books from Julie Morgenstern http://www.amazon.com/Julie-Morgenstern/e/B001IGQY78/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1403450228&sr=8-2-ent  about Time Management and Organizing and hope to read them and put it to work...I have a plan I just have to stick to it....
My husband hates those words "I have a plan"  I said that when I quit my job, I say that when I buy furniture and large items, and I said that to him so that he could quit his annoying part time job at Advance Auto Parts....so glad he finally realized my plan can work Ha!  Although he had to work overtime at his regular job several days this week so he hasn't seen the advantages of so many days off at home with me yet!
So a couple great things I found this week were

a Sikes vintage heavy office chair...does need a little TLC paid $7
a Lovell Pewter signed trivet paid $8 but worth it
2 vintage folding card tables for $2 each
my husband bought a Turner Flamingo mirror for $6

once I learn how to add pictures and links I will include them



So today I have to finish shipping things for tomorrow and try to list some things...I have been trying all week but I did have to take a break to garden in this beautiful weather
