here and there: good finds

-We picked these two up off the street at the airport yesterday! We're excited to have them spend the week with us!

Last night we enjoyed a picnic of brie, focaccia bread, olives, pepperoni, fruit and wine while soaking in this rosy sunset at the beach. 'Twas lovely.

-It's bulk trash week in the neighborhood. AKA--treasure hunting week. Chris and I snagged this bench from the side of the road the other night and I can't wait to give it a new life!

I'm so thankful to have a husband who encourages my dumpster diving! 

-I've been searching for a cheap reasonably priced white tray for our coffee table for a good while now. I've passed by this one a few times at Target and I actually bought it the other day. Guess how much I got it for? 

$4.98. 

I think it was originally twenty some bucks. It was on the clearance shelf but it didn't have a sticker and wouldn't scan right in the price checker. I carried it around until I found an employee and when he came back and told me it was under $5 I said, "I'll take it!" 

I was thinking about painting over the tray bottom (of course, my mind always goes there) but it actually has a lot of cities that Chris and I have been to and I like it alot more in my home than I did in the store, so I might just *gasp* leave it alone.

Anyone else have some great little finds this week? I think it's so funny how a simple discovery can make me feel happy for days....

-A discovery like seeing that I have some new followers today! 

[woo to the hoo!]
