I went yard saling yesterday and helpfully relieved several burdened homeowners of their useless tchotckes. I spent $3.

But I would’ve spent $6 if I hadn’t been a ruthless, cold-hearted negotiator.

Not really.

Kinda.

But not really.

By the way, at least where I live, this is PEAK yard sale season: right now, for about the next six weeks. (Here are some yard sale shopping tips. And if you’re throwing a yard sale, some tips on that too.)

Andy brought these home for me yesterday.

Hello, they’re basically screaming in my love language. And emanating happiness all over my house. There’s joy shooting out of each bud like laser beams. I love spring.

And yard sales.

And any good deals. And writing posts where I keep waiting for the point of the post to come to me, but it eludes me. I love you guys. I wish I could send you tulips. Not roses though, not that you don’t deserve it, just that roses send a different message and you might think I’m coming on too strong.

I’m glad we had this talk.

Let’s see what deals my lovely sponsors have for us all this month!

Decorator in a Box

NEW sponsor with a super cool idea! Decorator in a Box is a service for the DIY homeowner who wants a little help from a professional designer but without breaking the bank. Who WOULDN’T love that?!

Change of Art

If “things” could make you happy, my pretty, easy-to-change Change of Art picture frame would bring lifelong joy. I seriously love it every single day. THIS is the way all frames should be made: take out the art without removing the mat or glass, and it levels it self when you put it back on the wall.

MAGIC, right? Click here if you missed my post about how these work. Best invention ever! Check out Change of Art and order your own gallery frames right here.

(In fact, my “sponsorship” with Compassion always has been – and always will be – unpaid, as a way to support the organization.) Come look into the faces of these kids who need to be sponsored.
