One thing you will learn about me is that I love to yard sale. (Yes, I used it as a verb.) I don't just go out a buy whatever is a good deal. You will end up with a bunch of things that you don't need, that you will be selling at your next yard sale or donating it a couple of months down the road.
I make a list of things I am looking for: Right now I am looking for lamps, things I can redo or repurpose for around the house, anything to help with organization, and a dresser. I have to admit I do run into things that I didn't think I wanted or needed but it catches my eye. And it will usually make its way home with me.
