Suzy necklace, Louis Ardene watch, gifted bracelet, Aldo & Hot Diamonds rings
I found the fabric for this top on a recent jaunt to the fabric store. I'd seen the material several times in my previous trips there, but didn't buy any (although I was very drawn to it). I finally realized what to make with it: a tee! It turned out great; it's a stretchy jersey material, boat-necked in an a-line cut. Great for casual days, with jeans or leggings, a throw-on-and-go type of thing. Perfect.

As I mentioned, I headed to one of the largest garage sales this past weekend. It was a great morning (yes, morning, as we arrived there just before 8am and left just after 11am - and didn't even see half of it) and I walked away with some really great items.
{ looks like these guys scored an amoire }
{ lots of people -and dogs- everywhere }
{ amazing jewellery }
{ my maxi dress was dragging so I tied it in a knot }

I was so pumped when I discovered that Helen at In Elegance awarded me with her special blog award. Thanks, lovely!
This award is a little different as each recipient designs their own award to pass on, that way each award is unique and different.

Every year, at the end of May, a large (wealthier) area of town puts on a neighbourhood-wide 'garage sale'. And I'm not talking just a few houses here and there, no, we are talking full on selling, every corner, every parking lot, every drive-way within a 10x10 block radius.
This year marks the 25th anniversary, so I'm excited to see what's in store. Speaking of stores, even they participate in the sale, bringing their baked goods outside and offering up freshly brewed coffee. Last year I went for the first time and it was mayhem-but totally worth it. I walked away with a few CD's, a couple clutches, some napkin rings and more... for less than $20. Awesome.
On Saturday, I am meeting my sister at (cringe) 6:45am to get a head start on the day. Since the garage sale starts at 8am, and parking is horrendous, she's ensuring we are there with plenty of time to spare. You know what they say, one person's trash is another person's treasure!
