Another Summer Day

Hello friends!! It is another sunny, dry, hot day here in the west!! We haven't seen rain for so long I have forgotten what it looks like!! Not to wish away the days, but it would be nice to have some cooler temperatures.

I hit the yard sale circuit on Saturday. My finds were pretty good. Don't you just love to get a nice lamp for 50 cents? Or a frame and a bag of stuffing for 50 cents? Or a candle holder for 50 cents? That must have been the magical number. Found the crows(perfect for fall decor), table cloth, heart wreath and peg board, too. Not bad for a morning's work!! Nothing more than a $1.00!!
So, this is what Rebecca and Karissa's room looks like this morning. They have busy building a fort!! They slept in it last night, but the roof fell in, so they remade it and will try again tonight. Makes me smile, 'cuz I did that when I was a girl and loved every minute of it!! It is so magical to sleep in a fort...

Have a terrific Tuesday. A random fact about Tuesday is that it is the most productive day in the work week--hope so!!
Be Nice to People,
Julie

Yard sales and sleeping forts -- the perfect recipe for summertime fun.

I'm so glad you're enjoying this time, Julie, excessive heat and all. Your new blog look is very fallish. I love it!

Have you found anything new to read yet?

Julie,
Great finds! Those are great prices :) Aften just asked me when we were going to the "junk store" again! LOL

The tent reminds me of many interesting things my kids have also tried. Aften actually slept with Shane last night. They talk about it a lot but I usually find her her in her bed by the time I call it a day and if not, she's cranky come morning. For some reason they're getting along...best not knock it! LOL

Have a great day!

Leslie

PS-It's also raining here today..

Great yard sale finds and great prices, too. Call me crazy, but I am having a garage sale on Saturday. Hopefully my junk can be someone's treasure. Cally

Julie,

You did quite well with the yard sales!

I love what your girls have been up to! My kids always made them between chairs right in the middle of my living room! :)

Enjoy your summer, my friend!

Hugs,
Tammy

Hi Julie,
I a big follower of yours! Not sure if I've posted before but I adore your door hangers. I would love to know where you find your kits. I've been searching on the web and I can't find any but one site. Can you email your sites where you shop?

Thanks,
Michelle
