A little Pick-Me-Up

Okay, okay . . . my last post was a bit of a downer --- we all have those every once in a while, right?!

Well. At the request of my cousin, Amber, I am here to share with you a couple of little somethings that picked me up out of the dumps last weekend. :)

I am not, in general, a yard-saler. (Like my made up word?) I think yard sales are great, but . . . I usually sleep in. :) Plus, most of the time looking through other people's garbage can be a little tedious for me. Well, last weekend, I decided that I was in the mood. So I packed the kiddos into the car and headed out. We stopped at quite a few and didn't really find anything great until the drive home, when we took a wrong turn and found a big rummage sale at a local Christian church. Look what I found!

The frame-less oil painting on the wall.

And this WAY cute yellow lamp!

Now, they may not look like much to you, but FIRST of all - I got each of them for FIFTY CENTS (!!!!) and SECOND, I love them. They seriously made my day! Especially when I was feeling so down about the current state of my house. - They both need a little tweeking - like a new shade on the lamp and a frame for my painting - but I'm excited!

Anywho - aren't they cute?! How could you pass up TWO great things ---- FOR A DOLLAR!? :)
