Cooling Down

I never thought I'd see the day where I would be thankful for cooler temperatures here on the home front. It was so nice today, just perfect at around 78. My accomplishment for the day was to tear apart a jasmine plant that I dug up at mom and dad's house. It took about an hour of ripping, tearing, trimming, and cutting at the roots to end up with about 5 individual plants. I hope they will grow!
On my way to work this afternoon I saw at least three different yard sales that I would have loved to stop at. It was probably a good thing I couldn't because I was driving dad's truck and who knows what I would have drug home with all that space to fill up! I'm really itching to do some serious yard sale-ing this summer. I'm not sure why I like it so much. It's kinda like a treasure hunt. I have made a couple of yard sale purchases so far this season...

found these gorgeous vintage buttons--like I need any more of those! But aren't they SO pretty?!

And then there was this little bounty. Love the crates! Love the aqua glass! The yellow bowl is so perfectly suited to our little yellow kitchen it's just sick. The ceramic squirrel, well, you'll just have to stay tuned for what we have planned for this chipper little guy.
