Summer: Day 37

Ah the garage sale! What an American tradition. I am not ashamed to say I was raised going to garage sales on Saturdays, so I have a fond place in my heart for garage sales and superb bargains. In case you are not a "garage sale-r," the schedule for garage sales is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from about 8 A.M. until 4 P.M. Today, as I did not working until the afternoon, I was able to go to several garage sales with my dad. I always am on the lookout for many different items, and obtained several things. In preparation for cooking on my own, I got various kitchen supplies for $4.00 (yesssss!). I also got a project. Basically, I've always wanted more white furniture. Since my parents will not let me repaint any furniture that is previously stained, I must buy my own furniture that is paintable or white. Today, I acquired a headboard which I shall sand and add trim to make it more interesting before painting it white. At $5.00, you really can't go wrong.
