Sunday Afternoon Treasure Hunt

I just spent the last four hours hyperventilating at the Austin Citywide Garage Sale.

No, seriously.  I got 3 huge boxes of amazing, antique books for six dollars.  SIX DOLLARS!!  At most antique stores, I’d be lucky to find a good looking old book for that price.  Today?  Sixty-one books.  Six dollars. Yes, I counted them.  And if you were wondering, that’s 9.8 cents per book.

SCOOOOOOORE!

(If you know me well, you know I like to decorate with old books. I think the guy selling them today was a little startled by my level of happiness bliss psychotic excitement when he said I could have all three boxes for six bucks)

The rest of my loot included an old suitcase for a buck, a crystal sugar and creamer set, some twine, and three fabulously peeling, worn, and rickety old frames (BIG ones!). 

I pretty much couldn’t be happier with this day.
