My porch sale is on Saturday, and I'm starting to think about how I'm going to group all of my stuff into little vignettes. I already know that I will have a large area dedicated exclusively to bar paraphernalia because I love booze and anything that you can serve it in. In fact, my sister Erin is going to make a big fat pitcher of mimosas for the porch sale. We are going to save them for my neighbors and any extra-special customers that come our way. And, of course, anyone who mentions my blog.
Enough about booze...here are a few of the vintage finds that will go in the craft/sewing/scrapbooking area:
It is amazing what a little bit of scrapbooking paper can do. I cut out a few rectangles and slipped them into the slots on the drawer unit and the letter organizer:
The drawers used to hold slides of plants and flowers from Longwood Gardens, but they would be great for ribbon, thread or any kind of small crafty embellishments.
In my Barn Sale post, Sarah asked to see what was in the box on the rolling cart. I didn't want to disappoint, so here you go, Sarah...
OMG. Are you selling those? If you are selling those I need them. Really. I must have them.

Seriously now, am I supposed to be hyperventilating reading this post?! Look at all that good stuff! Oh. My. Goodness! Why do I live so many states away?! Please, if you have time, take a photo of you and your sisters sipping those mimosas. That way we can enjoy them too! Have fun!

Oh my. You are SO creative. I wish every sale I went to was so organized and cute.

why do you torture me so by showing those ornaments?! I'm a little crazy for thrifted storage items...and that file cabinet is the coolest.
