The Bus is Leaving...

A great friend and fellow estate sale enthusiast recently moved back from California... she needs a few additional feathers to plump her nest and, fortunately, the heat and humidity abated just a bit... allowing us a small window to hit some local estate sales with a vengeance... since my nest is over plumped, I concentrated on practical purchases...

...for the most part anyway... you like?

Do Bees Have Knees?

My favorite time to shop at the mall is when it's as deserted as possible... last weekend presented just such an opportunity... a sunny day... glorious blue skies... still a bit on the humid side for my taste (but apparently not for most others)... I got a tall coffee and had a nice leisurely amble through my favorite stores... I always stop into Williams-Sonoma and make a beeline to the back of the store where they display their SALE merchandise... I rarely come away empty-handed and this time was no exception... I found a gorgeous set of botanical bee towels for a tiny fraction of their original price... YUM! Always become familiar with sales and clearance areas in your favorite shops and make it a point to see what little treasure might be lurking there...
