Great things happen to me at yard sales. Seemingly small but great things. There have been countless times I've had a thought like "I wish I had a toaster oven," then two weeks later I stop by a yard sale on the way home from somewhere else and find a perfect...
Vintage Mother’s Day Cards
This is a collection I started by accident. A few years ago, I found a couple of framed vintage Mother's Day cards at an antique mall. Over the years, I have occasionally found one at an estate sale or antique mall along the way. I've hung them in different places...
