March 8, 2012


when i was young i spent many weekends with my grandparents.
my nana and i would sit together at the breakfast table on saturday mornings with the newspaper and circle all of the yard/garage sales happening that day. after breakfast she would hand me a few dollars and off we went.
we also frequented the local thrift stores in her neighborhood pretty regularly too. she didn’t drive so we would walk everywhere.
i think of her often as i visit my local thrift stores. i wish they were walkable.
every once in a while i will take her to my favorite ones and it feels like old times.

i have collected quite a few of these glass jars with the cork tops over the years but today i found an actual set of them still in the box.
it was neat to see they had a name “in keepers”.
i use them to store my bulk items and i think they are so pretty.
i don’t really need any more but just like baskets i can’t seem to have too many.
they also make great gifts with a little something in them.

now that spring is here i look forward to yard sailing.
i have been doing a bit of spring cleaning these days so i may be having one myself.
but you won’t be seeing any glass jars or baskets for sale.
