There’s a great used furniture place right around the corner and we’re looking for a group of kitchen chairs… so the girls and I stopped in to see what they had! Of course, we didn’t find the right set, actually most of the groups were all connected to a table as well, so that kind of made it tricky to buy a set. So instead, we just looked around and shopped.

The fellow that owns the place is always bringing in new stuff and it’s not just furniture. He’s got knickknacks and other goodies, so it was fun to wander around and see what we found! And of course, the price is right.

I got a cool little green oil lantern…

And this neat medieval arch candle holder thing. Not sure if it’s going to hold candles indoors or if it’s going to go in a garden bed for maybe peas or morning glories! You never can tell.

Jessy found a few cute props for her animal photography… a cute little wicker basket, like a small picnic basket and this neat little plant stand, that already she’s been testing with Luna and the ferrets. The ferrets LOVE the thing, it’s like a little lookout tower for them to hide in. Jessy has been formulating some ideas for her photography business and one great way to get good pictures of critters is to sort of corral them a bit. So she’s looking for neat “pet” containers that have interesting textures and colors that she can pose her little clients in.

I also found this WAY cool little rooster wind direction thingy. Weather vane. It is SO cool in my yard, I had to install it immediately! It’s not working great, I believe it needs a little greasing to make it move a bit more freely, but I’ll get to it this spring. In the meanwhile, it’s great and it makes me smile.

And the best part, it’s a cash and carry sort of deal and we are in there periodically, so we got everything for a big whopping $30. Pretty fun day with the girls. We stopped and grabbed some coney dogs for lunch. I’m so blessed that my girls love to hang out with me and we enjoy doing treasure hunts for little things that make our days.
