the Unexpected Find

No, sadly, that isn't a new home. Although we found a sweet foreclosure yesterday (which needs some MAJOR reno on the inside), meeting with a guy tonight to see how much repairs will cost, and our offer going in tomorrow morning. This could be a sweet home for the fam but we'll see what happens. I've learned at this point not to get too excited about any of them until we have something solid... but onto our other unexpected find.

Let me start off by saying that I'm not the hugest garage sale fan. Adam's mom is a pro and can find some sweet deals. Adam himself loves to go and find some treasures. But I have a hard time wanting to go through someones junk to find maybe one sweet find. Hope I don't offend anyone out there but it's just not my thing. I have been to some sweet garage sales and know there are good deals to be had but does that make me want to go that much more, not really. But we're in need of some bookcases for Adam's office and a kitchen for Kenedee. So we ran around last Saturday looking for some garage sale signs. After passing up on three we drove past this sign that said 'CRAZY SWEET GARAGE SALE' and Adam & I just busted up laughing. There's good marketing for you, we knew we had to stop by to check it out. And to our surprise we walked away with a sweet deal. This new PINKALICIOUS bike for ONE DOLLAR. Score. It made Kenedee's day! Maybe I need to go garage sale'ing more often...

That's awesome! It's a darling bike too. BTW, we found Brooklyn's kitchen on Craigslist for not much. Might check it out. :)

Kandis... I have a set of brand-new training wheels in my garage that look like they're perfect for that bike. If she's not already riding on her own, come get them! Tomorrow!
