Sunday Reflection - An Awesome Find

 

So, this is what I did on Saturday. 

Dragged my hubby around to a few garage sales and found a few treasures. 

I won't show you them today but I was excited when we strumbled upon a 4 person estate sale. 

Some stuff I seriously wondered if he should be selling at a garage sale. 

I didn't buy any expensive items but they were beautiful.

Anyways, I had contacted the lady whose mother owned this radio/record player about 2 weeks ago.  Finally we arranged a time and I bought it for $20.  She was asking for $25 but I didn't have correct change and she didn't either so she said 'just take it for $20'. Done!  Start the car, start the car.

It is in fine shape, even hubby said so.

I plan to make it into a docking station/desk for our guest bedroom.  There will be storage inside after Greg remodels it a bit.  He's so excited about it.  Then, I'll probably put it up for sale.

 

 

 

I felt really bad when the lady had to show me how the stereo worked and the 8 track. Yes, it has an 8 track.  She said it just needed a bit of cleaning.  I did not have the heart to tell her it would be totally gutted.  Thanks to Greg, he told the mister while they loaded it onto the truck.  She probably cried when her husband told her.  I always want to be more discreet as I take peoples treasures that meant alot to them.  But then they should have kept them.

 

 

 

Later that same day we enjoyed the yard and hubby barbequed some great steaks. 

First of the season. 

I love our yard when the sun begins to set behind the trees and everything seems to look more colorful. 

The pond is very serene too.

Gosh, we have worked alot on this yard for the last 4 years.  It had come a long way.  When we bought, we were the 2nd house in our cul de sac and the trees backed a farmer's field before selling to the developer.  We even had moles back then.

 

Just a few plants are beginning to show their colors and this one in particular is so delicate and doesn't last very long.  The bells are no bigger than my pinkie finger.

 

Well, have a good week.  Enjoy your yard and a festive drink!
