JULY TAG-ALONG AND FREEBIES

Here's my July Tag-Along! I had to include, of course, something patriotic; along with thoughts of the beach, amusement parks, and Kool-Aid for these hot summer days!


Below is the plate in the background, from the US Bicentennial. It was a freebie today. Mister went to a yard sale Saturday. The couple was British and are moving back across the Pond to the Mother Land. Somehow or another Mister offered to help the guy with moving stuff. So the guy called this morning and said we could have all the leftover yard sale stuff if we wanted, in return for Mister helping him move a couch and table.

This plate certainly qualifies as vintage, so I'll hook up to Vintage Thingies Thursdays with it!

He came home with three truck loads full! Most of the stuff we weren't interested in, but I took some books, the plate, some tea cups, a tea pot, some pants for Becky, and a few other odds and ends ~ and this metal wall hanging that's perfect for yard art.
He took the rest of the stuff to two different thrift shops. It was a fun day, but lots of work going through two huge black plastic bags of stuffed animals, and five same bags of clothing!
