Bringin’ My Yard Sale To You!

Remember when I asked your opinion here?
Well, I’ve gone and done it now!
I have created a new blog JUST for the purpose of an online yard sale!

Our house location is not conducive to everyone coming by on a Saturday morning, so I’m bringing the yard sale to you! We “went live” tonight, so go on over and take a minute to “dig” through the stacks. New content will be added over the next few weeks so check back regularly! This is being done on a first come/ first served basis. I will remove photos as purchases are made.

Email your orders to yardsale2u (at) gmail (dot) com and we’ll make arrangements for you to get your purchase. We accept cash. There is no plan to ship, but I will consider this on a case by case basis and the buyer would be expected to pay shipping plus a $3 handling fee. (The case by case basis would amount to just how much havoc is being wreaked in my life at the time. I reserve this right so that I may preserve my sanity.)

So, tell your friends. Email your enemies. Everyone who’s honest is welcome. *smile*

TuTu Cute!

We played dress up this weekend and pulled out the ballet gear gathered from multiple places over a couple years time. This is the first interest Little has had in dress up – well, actually, she has been wearing that hat for over a week and takes it with her everywhere we go – and she has taken to it quite swimmingly. For two days now she has woken up and asked to wear her tutu and ballet shoes. For two days she has kicked her legs and “hopped like a ballerina”. It is ADORABLE.

Bubba could not be outdone, so he squeezed his 3T self into the 24M bumble bee costume and ran from room to room singing.

Anybody need a 24M bumble bee costume for Halloween?

Happy Birthday, Autumn!

October 2 saw the festive Autumn decor appearing all around the Blue hutch.
I LOVE FALL!!!

KB did NOT know what to think of the bright colored pretties that appeared on the porch during nap time.

Bubba woke up and saw the scarecrow on the front porch bench and actually said, “We have a new baby doll.” Gettin‘ teary just remembering that. . .

And then there are gourds – which is hilarious to hear my children say . . . at EVERY meal.

Little is SO literal that I have been telling her the decoration is to celebrate Autumn – not Fall. We do not celebrate falls and I am not sure she distinguishes the season, etc. So, when I set these pumpkins out on the mysteriously and suddenly clean blue hutch, Little went into a verbal strand that was a bit like this, “And there are pumpkins on the blue hutch. And there are three. And there are candles to celebrate. Candles for Autumn on her birthday. Happy Birthday, Autumn.” To know her is to love her, folks.


And, Debbie, no caramel apple candy corns this year. Instead we have Autumn colored M&Ms that are also acting as potty training prizes. Oh, and look at that adorable picture of those kids. . .

Now, this week I plan to make a candy corn garland like the one I saw here. I’ll do that somewhere between my first mammogram (Can you believe I am old enough for THAT? – maybe I shouldn’t post about that. Was that too much?) and my husband’s trip out of town for three days. “Without vision the people perish. . .” (I am pretty sure candy corn garlands were NOT what was on the mind there)
