Annual Church Garage Sale Haul 2024
Every year, my church has a huge garage sale, where all proceeds - from donations made by attendees - go to help local homeless outreach programs.
It's always a fabulous time. There are many things to search for, dig through, and discover as buried treasure - feeling slightly like a pig looking for truffles. It's a sure fun time. Nothing like a big old garage sale to get my vintage juices flowing.
I found a few things, most going to my vintage shop. And the Pyrex? Well, that's one for me to keep (I didn't have this one. Hooray!)
Here's what I got:
- a vintage '80s wool skirt
- a vintage '80s wool sweater
- a vintage '80s wallet
- a vintage '50s silver mesh purse
- a vintage '60s pair of faux fur snow boots
- a vintage '70s bandana
- a vintage '70s Autumn Harvest 403 Pyrex Bowl (for me)
- a vintage 80s adorable (Bernese?) dog mug
Plus a candle and dish towel. Ten items for $10. Can't beat that.
I volunteered two years ago for this event, and plan on doing it next year (this year didn't line up right with my schedule.) It's so fun to shop at these events and even more fun to help set up.
Until the next vintage haul, my vintage friends, have a great day. ♥
Silverado Resort Hotel and Spa in Napa Valley
My husband and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary just this week. I have officially been married longer than I was single and that thought is a bit surreal. Because I sure still feel 24 years old.
We had a fun drive to the Napa Valley, went to a wine tasting at Baldacci Vineyards (incredible reds available), and stayed at the Silverado Resort and Spa.
This was the first time my husband played golf there, but I've been to the spa at least four or five times over the last 15 years, so this was a familiar haunt. One day (when I'm better), I'd like to golf with my husband.
It was a short and sweet trip, but it provided the perfect amount of rejuvenation and celebration needed to enjoy a wonderful 24th anniversary. The wine tasting at Baldacci Vineyards was a treat. Sure, we could've done more tastings, but we had such a generous helping at Baldacci, that we were set! Highly recommend this winery.
The Silverado Hotel and Resort is a classic. I'm grateful to have gotten to go.
Vintage Coffee │ Vintage French Photo
Came across this wonderful photo from 1925.
It's women drinking coffee in a cafe in Paris.
Love everything about it. Friends and coffee and Paris.
Their shoes are perfect, too.
Happy Friday. (TGIVF.)
