I'm dreaming of junk...

Have you noticed that people have been doing some spring purging lately? Seems like everyday I notice new stuff on the side of the road, just waiting to be picked up by someone. I have been trying really hard not to pick up every single thing that I find on the side of the road. Our house doesn't have the extra space to store stuff that isn't needed, so most of the time I just pass right by a good find. That is especially hard to do when it comes to toys for Coral. There have been so many opportunities to pick up toys that are in great condition for Coral, but again, I pass by because of the lack of space.

This weekend though, I might go a little nuts. I will be with my mom, who encourages me to pick up free stuff, and my sister, who also encourages me to pick up free stuff. We will be driving all over, from door to door, looking through peoples junk.

Junk days are officially on in Norfolk County! What are junk days? That's not the official name, just what my family calls it, but basically it's where each town in the county gets a specific time to put out all of their junk at the side of the road, and the garbage men will come and take whatever it is you don't want. It's a gold mine for treasure hunters like myself. Were talking free stuff everywhere. Piles and piles of it. All for the taking.

I'm so excited to see what I'm going to find this weekend. It is always a blast going with my mom and sister, and usually works out pretty good since we all have slightly different tastes when it comes to decorating our houses.

Oh and if you happen to be in the area, don't forget it's the village yard sales in Port Rowan this weekend. My family will be having one. Come and find us, were the loudest house in the villages.

This weekend is going to be a blast!
