153: born to hum
Word dice from an estate sale - a while ago.
I've shown a little bit of this trunk before. I got this at a yard sale for 75 bucks. I rarely make any purchase that pricey at a yard sale, but I couldn't resist.

Last weekend, I did a little blog housekeeping:
Remember how I am freakish about my links? Well I changed around my blogroll categories, made a bunch of subscriptions public ( which I will list next time, so you can go visit) , and tidied up my little wave pattern I have going on with the link list. It takes time, but I find it oddly soothing and satisfying.
On the sidebar, I added a place to subscribe to yummygoods by email. ( Krissi and Jooky, there you go!) I also linked to my Sugar Snap preview.
Last weekend was quite productive! Spent some quality time with my honey, did my bloggy cleanup, worked on the kitchen ( which is looking so cute, it gives me flutters), did some great estate sale shopping.
This is from last weekend:
This, too:
Last night, I was looking for some new music online and found this adorable song:
Born to Hum ( once you get there click on the little arrow to the left of the track name) by Erin Mckeown.
I hope you will listen to it, let me know if it makes you smile.

Lovely rosary! I have some gorgeous vintage crystal rosaries that were my grandmothers. I should to take pics of those to share on my blog.
I grew up in a household where we went to antique shows, not flea markets. So I'm kind of sheltered.
Julie!
That's so funny! Yep, thrifting is just going to "thrift stores". To me, thrifting also entails flea markets, yard sales, estate sales, junk shops, consignment shops, and the free shop at the dump.
But yes, there are lots of different kinds of thrift stores- Goodwill is one, Salvation Army is another. Lots of churches have thrift shops. There's also Savers in RI and MA (at least) , and Value Village in Washington and elsewhere I'm sure. Look in your yellow pages- maybe under thrift or secondhand.
Thrifting rules!
