It’s almost getting too hot for yard sales here in south – we have had temperatures reaching almost to 100 degrees and heat index way above 100! It’s hot! So this week after I dropped my nieces and nephew off at Vacation Bible School I was glad to pop in a nice Goodwill I don’t […]
Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: Yard sale and Goodwill finds
My husband and I took a short overnight trip to Chattanooga last weekend and of course I was keeping my eyes out for a Goodwill (or two!). We found a big one Saturday morning right in the same parking lot where we were getting our coffee that morning and they were having a 50% off […]
Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: Goodwill shopping spree
A few weeks ago my friend Leah, who blogs at Embracing Grace, was in town for the week. So we set aside some time that week to get together and do lunch and catch up. Luckily her hotel was within a mile of a really nice Goodwill which she had already scoped out so we […]
Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: 1 hour to yard sale, a $20 bill, a full car, and a cookout
Two weeks ago I headed out early on Saturday morning. We were hosting a big cookout that evening at our house and I still had cleaning and lots of preparation to do so I didn’t have long to yard sale. But I knew of a big community wide yard sale that I had gone to […]

Once upon a time there was this girl who lived in a very traditional house who dreamed of living in a very non-traditional, fixer-upper, craftsmen, farmhouse-style house graced with dark […]
Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: Goodwill Target finds
Many times I walk in Goodwill, look around, and walk back out with nothing. Prices too high, junk that I just don’t need, or whatever. But then occasionally, I walk in and find so much that I end up having to get a cart and leave with a big bag of finds! This was the […]

Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: Mirrors from Value Village and fun yard sale finds
I am so glad yard sale season is back! It is just so much fun to find little things to turn our house into a home for super cheap. I picked up these 2 pieces for $1 each at 2 separate yard sales. I planning on making a gallery wall – maybe 2- soon so […]
Twin headboard makeover with Rustoleum Chalked paint
So remember when I hauled home a truckload of yard sale finds 2 weeks ago? This $10 twin headboard/footboard was in that load and I couldn’t wait to get it transformed. I have REALLY been trying to be better about immediately putting into use and fixing up the things I pick up at yard sales. You […]
