I hope you all had a great Fourth! We had a great weekend. We went to my parents' on Sunday and the boys had their first experience shooting fireworks (my brother did the shooting, but they enjoyed sparklers and smoke bombs) and they of course loved it. Little Caleb...
Last weekend was probably the hottest weekend of the year, yet my neighbor across the street and myself had a yard sale. We were supposed to do it early June, but my neighbor got Covid and we had to postpone. If it hadn't been for my tent and a large fan, I don't...
I have a love-hate relationship with Facebook Marketplace, but sometimes it works out and I get something awesome. I got the 3-seat glider bench above last week and the patina is amazing. My theme for the July 15-17 Bella Rustina Modern Vintage Market is sunflowers...
