Travis and I didn't know how big of a deal this was. We had a list of things that we were going to look for and we had prepared ourselves to know what prices would be reasonable for things. The day came and we got up early and headed out to the streets. Before we knew it we ran into tons, and I meant tons of people in the streets. There were sales everywhere. The first area we looked at was an area with newer homes and most of the stuff was for babies. So we moved on to the older area where people had lived in their houses longer and had collected lots of goodies. We saw lots of things but nothing that we were looking for. I saw tons of cool furniture that I would have loved to refinish...I kept telling Travis "this would look amazing if you just painted it" I am sure he got tired of me telling him that.
I did find an awesome lamp that I will need a new shade. I can't wait to add it into our apartment. Some people might think its ugly but it really has a lot of potential.
Later in the day we headed over to our local farmer's market and picked up a few goodies.
It was a great Saturday in our little town.
That sounds really fun. Our town has a pirate/gypsy festival, which I'm sure will be interesting, but I think I might prefer finding cheap treasures.
