On the Hunt

This morning Katherine and I decided to hit up a few garage sales.  In preparation I decided to map out our route the night before, by using MapQuest.  I do hope to have a TomTom in the near future!  We each had our main focus.  I was looking for end tables to match our newly refinished hutch.  Katherine was on the hunt for baby boy items.  I did not find my tables, but I sure did find some great bargains!     

Each thing I found was something that I have been thinking about buying recently.  The tray ($3) I found will be perfect to place on our ottoman.  We need a place to set our drinks while watching T.V.  A few weeks ago I was visiting with a friend, Gina, and she sold me on wanting a PeaPod ($15).  We will be using this in place of a pack-n-play. Way more portable! I found one that was basically brand new...was used once. I am always on the look out for baby items.  I would love to have everything before we are chosen by a birth mom. One thing I did not have was a diaper bag ($5).  I have been looking at a couple of different Eddie Bauer hobo bags that both Kevin and I liked.  Can you believe I found one today with the tags still on it?  It was also in the perfect colors for both Kevin and I to carry.  My last find was a Singer Tiny Serger. I started taking sewing classes this week and I thought this would be a good way to learn how to use a serger.  I  did some research on this machine and there were bad and good reviews.  One thing I learned was I better read the entire manual before I start. Overall I did pretty darn good this morning!







Here is Katherine with all of her loot!  She found some like
