My son had to work and I promised he could use my car. There were 60 yard & estate sales going on. About 10 minutes till seven I decided I could hit a few that was closest to me. I managed to hit about 5 yard sales, 1 church sale and 1 estate sale.<div><br /></div><div>There was absolutely nothing at the yard sales.</div><div><br /></div><div>The church sale was good but I had very little time to browse. I did find a nice wood chair. I have been looking for one that I could paint red to go into the sunroom. For $5 I grabbed it. Unfortunately, my camera died before I had a chance to take a picture of it. Maybe next week I can do a before and after picture of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now for the estate sale. I only spent about 15 minutes here. Even though I didn't have a lot of time here I feel like I hit the jackpot. </div><div><br /></div><div>First I found these great signed prints by a South Carolina artist. She has a gallery in Charleston. I paid two dollars each. They will go great in either my hall or foyer.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHj9rSPdZAMrA-4YTAhoQwz7R12K64AoZhFRUAIXk0EPNVDuBBSg48kE3kEBqulph-EDUoxfrbOA-C_nAkSuhR8myQoH1xl8EDjpEpKMIK5-woFWSFobQCw2YNh6tiR86wpOIeZcYbljia/s1600-h/Picture+040.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHj9rSPdZAMrA-4YTAhoQwz7R12K64AoZhFRUAIXk0EPNVDuBBSg48kE3kEBqulph-EDUoxfrbOA-C_nAkSuhR8myQoH1xl8EDjpEpKMIK5-woFWSFobQCw2YNh6tiR86wpOIeZcYbljia/s320/Picture+040.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365430386183885202" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: left;"> Sorry the pictures are so bad. I hung them on the wall in my hall to take the pictures (wall paper has just been removed - so this will not be the final color of the walls) but I couldn't get a picture without the glare. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now for the treasure of the week. I found a set of china that included 8 dinner plates, 8 dessert bowls, 2 serving bowls, and the creamer. There was a price on the creamer for $5 and the entire set was stacked up so I asked if it was $5 for the whole set and the lady said yes. Again, I can't show pictures of it all because my camera died but here you can see the pattern. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJjjZPqu-zXGUeJj1v9AWICsxLcp2LbdHfEvEbh192lByLgPQSq3-vfFYAdAuYdat8HXLOxvV86AhNFPbrLaosbChgo3aGTXrrHtJdUCDQft7lPSsysLS3P5g4Ad1wzaEn0MDLl0qWyLom/s1600-h/Picture+041.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJjjZPqu-zXGUeJj1v9AWICsxLcp2LbdHfEvEbh192lByLgPQSq3-vfFYAdAuYdat8HXLOxvV86AhNFPbrLaosbChgo3aGTXrrHtJdUCDQft7lPSsysLS3P5g4Ad1wzaEn0MDLl0qWyLom/s320/Picture+041.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365430391698655218" style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">At the estate sale I also found a little table/tray that folds inside to close.

In the program they are in at school each student has to do a minimum of 15 hours of community service. The two of them decided to use this idea as part of their community service. <div><br /></div><div>Here are the pictures of the Giving Tree.

Well not right now after you read this post about her and my new family member.<br /><br />June is obsessed with animals. She picks dogs up off the street and goes to the dog park and lets dogs pee on her leg. She finds stray cats at work. You no the obsessed animal type. She's the type that just loves animals no matter what they do. My 14 year old likes to look at her blog and the two of us laugh like crazy at her all the time. My husband has yet to figure out who this June is or where we know her from. But we can be riding down the road and just spit out something that June said and crack ourselves up.<br /><br />Anyway, to the point of the new family member. Yesterday at the mall there were 10 million people so we decided to leave and since we didn't have anything better to do we went to visit the animal shelter. We were just going to visit and talk to the dogs. Then we saw this puppy. Somehow we started talking about when June decided to do DNA tests on her dog and all the time she thought the dog had some lab in her it was Pit Bull. We went outside and took some pictures to bring home to show the rest of the family. Once we got home we didn't wait on anyone else we just turned right around and went back to the shelter and picked up that little puppy.<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyY4lz_RWyK0-1ZUyvkGi_m8sq3Rrmgw7Hwt0QB27uXMqV3hpXwMrcv1wAp4hfxam0ewBvjiUHD_BkITmLOlUdewkcL0sQpcTIljklWf8ZwxCP7dSfzh97T_TGLNSSgTcjwXfFBRAOtYCI/s320/DSC01832.JPG" /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Of course we had to think of some really cute name for the puppy and you know the best we could come up with - JUNE. Yep, she's a June alright. We have no idea what kind she is other than a mix. But she acts like a June, looks like a June, and whines not that June ever whines.<br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /></div>Let me tell you the husband wasn't real happy about this new edition. I tried to tell him I picked her up on the side of the road but I couldn't just lie. And guess who else DOES NOT LIKE Miss June. Our 8 year old rescue dog, Lucky. She's so mad she won't even sit beside me on the sofa.<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGb-I0MOQBNl0tkEU9smacw8qteIIVzNQkPPzg0g8nrPtTcRujFZtpJs-gRf0PEHSdpe3Er1-AOEzybJkedBqDURN1z1p_mL3I_6OAFlECKnlacp9GPCmVs3U0wjv1Oy_ubCMLZU-iaS65/s320/My+Photos+005.jpg" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqNWsawYf27nhgGBUq1ip9AIiK2VRR5Vr245XyRXRjeshN40jjSItcjfF1-BE0eWtL3rD48jO-fU0DbYaZ61EfK5Q-rHBoiF2_3XL98yMh53J7VIum71wwaI5qo3G_2Yog0j9FCB7espsW/s320/DSC01844.JPG" /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">One last thing.
