I can't help myself, I'm hooked on trading stamps.  Since the redemption stores are a thing of the past, I'm feeling the need to keep the stamp alive.  Who doesn't have a story to tell?

Thank you all so much for entering the Uprinting giveaway. 

Sue's Country Barn is open for business again!  Sue only opens for a couple of weeks in April and October, so when those barn doors opened on Friday morning, I was there waiting.  What a great way to start off the weekend.  Once again the barn was packed full of fabulous treasures and eye candy in every corner.











I would have bought everything here if money was no option I wasn't so cheap.  I sure had fun oohing and ahhing, but I've become so spoiled with yard sale prices.  I almost left empty handed until I spotted this sitting outside full of dirt and grime....

I know, I know, it's still a mess in need of a major cleaning job, but it's the perfect metal storage piece I've been looking for.  You can't tell from this picture, but the slots are at an angle when hung on a wall.  I'm in the beginning stages of moving my work space into an upstairs bedroom and knew exactly where to hang it.  So much for plan A.  The cubbie is 5' long and the wall is 4'6".  Unfortunately, it won't fit on any other wall because of the doors, windows, and cabinets.  I'm determined to make this work in that spot, so now it's on to plan B.  I hope it works!

I went out early on Saturday morning with my well organized list of yard sales.  I didn't have a long list, but there were a few that looked promising.  My plan of action literally took an illegal U-turn when I noticed what was going on in a church parking lot just a few blocks from my house. How did I miss this one on Craigslist and the newspaper?
