Garage Sales & Goodwill

We've been on the hunt for a few things that we want for our house now that we are feeling more settled. But seriously buying stuff new is just so darn expensive so we thought we'd start looking at garage sales. We found a few communities who were having their annual neighborhood garage sales last weekend so we stopped by to check them out. We didn't find much (definitely a lot of junk), but we did find this awesome rustic dresser for $20. I love it and decided to put it downstairs in our living room/entry way area. We bought it from an old grandpa who had had it for a long time.
And we also live by a really nice goodwill which I'm excited about. Lots of fun stuff you can pick up for super cheap and then paint or fix up how you want to. I found these there that I thought were cute. They'll be fun to put out next summer for the 4th of July or anytime I'm feeling patriotic :)
And I found this-I'll probably never put anything in it, but I thought it would look cute on my kitchen windowsill. Thanks goodwill, I think I'm going to become a regular customer!
And finally, I thought I'd share our little frog friend who hangs out by our front door every now and then. I like him and the little lizards cause they eat all the bugs that are taking over our front yard!
