ROCKIN and rollin in the Motor City...

Yard sales have been few and far between this year.

Saturdays have been so busy,

 I have just not had the time to go.

Saturday...while in Michigan...they were EVERYWHERE!!
I was able to stop at just 2 of them!

one of them proved to be fruitless

however the other one

had amazing stuff!!!

I would have like to have purchased several things...

the first being the house!

The front yard was beautifully landscaped

 and the backyard...
was Lake St. Clair!

or the 4 piece set of parson's chairs...I've been looking for some for my dining room

one of several very large wooden bird cages...she had several...for sale...and many more scattered throughout her gardens

a large area rug that would have looked great 

on my new hardwood floors

(still waiting for arrival and installation, by the way)

and a small vintage wooden rocker...

the rocker was a larger child rocker

the lady at the sale (probably in her 50's maybe even 60's) said it had belonged to her mother

I wanted it bad...

but unfortunately we would not be able to get 

any of this home with me...since our vehicle 

was full of pack-n-plays and other such 

grandchild paraphernalia,

I left a wee bit disappointed...

but quickly turned around...

I just had to have that little vintage rocker...

even if I had to leave it at my mom's 

until the next visit.

I'm glad I went back...

we were able to get it home...even if we might 

have looked like the Clampett's doing so.

And here is it...

look at the perfect cane seat

original? 

I don't know...and don't really care

It is the perfect addition to my recently 

refreshed front porch!
Just 15.00

And I didn't even have to bring out the spray paint!

don't ya love finding a treasure like that!

ok...so in my rush to show you...
I see that I forgot to even wipe it down...
I'm heading straight out to do that now!

 It is absolutely gorgeous outside today!!

I have been enjoying it.

I know the heat and humidity is headed 

up to record highs around here...

Stay cool!

until next time...
