Random thoughts on a potentially amazing yard saling Saturday morning:
1. There are so many yard sale signs in our neighborhood. My pockets are full of optimism and $10 bills.
Here’s hoping.
I’ll keep you posted.
2. A new episode of “What I Bought Wednesday” is live. There’s the CUTEST $20 sweater from Target.
3. Has anyone tried cotton candy grapes? I love a fruit that tastes better than candy.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about
- 17 home decor hacks I’ve used for years that will save you money
- tips for painting without leaving brush strokes on your furniture
- the big change in my living room
- all the stuff on sale including my dining room rug that’s 72% off until this weekend
5. Have you heard the joke about the broken pencil?
Never mind.
It doesn’t have a point. 🙂
And now?
Let’s see all the amazing things I found for us this week.

They just add a little happy to any room.

I love this! And thanks so much for sharing our backyard party. You are the neat my friend.
As usual, it is such a fun post with great ideas. Thanks so much for featuring my charcuterie board!!!
Happy weekend! Thank you so very much for including my DIY Christmas ornaments! Have fun at the yard sales :)
Saturdays with KariAnne. Does it get any better? I had a feeling you would feature that Scandinavian cottage when I saw it earlier this week. Not sure I could live with the bathroom situation for very long but it is super sweet! And I'm all about mini-bouquets--I've done them for years--just a little something to bring me cheer.
Thank you so much KariAnne for the feature!!! I actually really did laugh at your joke! I could see you telling it which made it all the more funny! Can't wait to see what you find at the garage sales!
The book to film list was really good rabbit hole! More for my list of Must reads. Thanks
I love to go yard selling and then when it gets hot come back to rest and read Thistlekeeping, great way to spend a Saturday. Thanks for a fun day, hope you had one too!!
Hope you did well at the yard sales, but I must say I love that stool at the beginning of the post. :)
Love your features this week! Happy weekend!
❤️ your finds! I score with the blue a white rug at Ross or Marshall for $100 is so big and beautiful
You are so sweet to feature my blog and table makeover, Karianne, thank you so much! The Crowned Goat Cottage took SO MUCH WORK but it's absolutely one of my favorite places to be. Hope your week is filled with all good things and extra special blessings, CoCo
Love the Saturday wrap ups. Have bookmarked most of the ideas AGAIN! Now to find the time to do them :) Thanks for all of your work doing this.
Oh that Swedish cottage was fairytale!!! xoxo
