I headed out to the 'community garage sales' in my neighborhood.
since it was late, I didn't know if I'd find anything I could use.
oh, but I DID!!!
I spied several wonderful things...
okay, wait, I need to backtrack for a minute and make a confession.
I'm the kind of garage / yard sale shopper that you probably hate.
I'm a DRIVE-BY SHOPPER.
yup.
I roll past your driveway and scope out the offerings on your tarps and tables
without stopping my car. or getting OUT of my car.
If there's enough there to intrigue me, I'll park and actually walk over to take a closer look.
I did it alllll morning long.
my Mom sat in the car and helped me watch for signs ,
and then quickly evaluate each one as we drove past.
I can actually hear your eyes rolling as you read that... but it's ok. I get it!
So anyway, I found some lovely things that perfectly fit my palette and style,
things that will be headed to my homewardFOUND shop in Room 1
at Needful Things Addiction in Lake Elsinore, California
in just a few weeks!
oh.... and the BEST thing I found?
these vintage player piano rolls!
if you've known me for any length of time at all,
you know that I let out a happy scream when I came across these!I've used them for YEARS in my vintage art & decor creations,
and have been looking for them here in SoCal for a long time.
who knew they were right here in my own neighborhood?!!!
and you can bet I have big plans for them ;)
stay tuned for my opening date announcement!
