As I mentioned last Saturday, one of my favorite Summer activities is going to garage sales on weekend mornings. Fortunately, my fiance T. share this same passion and that’s how I know we’re a match made in heaven. We have the same stamina and persistence when it comes to digging through other people’s trash in order to find what we’ll deem treasures. 

What are some of your favorite summer time activities and what do you look forward to come weekend? S.

One of the things I love about summer weekends is the chance to go treasure hunting at the local garage sales. T. and I both love a good bargain, so we print out a list with all the sales, grab our coffees and go exploring. Today I took my handy little basket tote along to stash my finds. I got this basket tote in an unabashed attempt to copy A., who uses a cute red basket for her trips to the farmer’s market. This blue and white checkered number will be my hold-all for market trips and garage sale adventures this summer (and was a steal for $2.50 at the Target Dollar Spot).
