garage sales are the best

garage sale finds


Because that's where you can find amazing treasures like this. Especially if you're my mom. We just did our gift exchange over at their place last night, in front of the fire and the tree, and I was wowed by these finds ~ all for me!

I love Pyrex and especially turquoise, and I've heard of people finding Polaroid film at garage sales but I've never seen any ~ those precious boxes went right into my fridge.

I embroidered her a Moleskine notebook with a female Io moth on it. And forgot to take a picture.

What goodies did you give or receive over the holidays?

So jealous of the Pyrex!

Turquoise Pyrex... coveting! I wonder how old those inkwells are?

Great loot. Your mom must know you quite well. :)
