Junk In The Trunk



Our family happens to be fans of the show "American Pickers".  Last year on our trip to Nashville, we stopped in at the Antique Archaeology store.  After a bit of shopping, we finally left with three items.  2 - Kid Picker T-Shirts for A & O and a "Junk In The Trunk" sticker for the van. 
 Many of our friends shake their heads at this bumper sticker and some like it because it is easy to identify the H's driving down the road.  If you know Michelle at all, you know this sticker has meaning.  We may literally have junk in the trunk. 
 This is what the van typically may look like after a few hours of Garage Selling each Saturday Morning. 
Of course, to support the junking habit, the junk often finds it's way into the flea market.  I'm a lucky man to have a lady that loves to shop, but knows how to find a "Great Deal"!

Love to Junk

Oli and I were invited to a baby shower last Sunday.  In my attempt to save more and spend less, I hit the thrift stores for inspiration.  I discovered these wall hangings for $1.29 each.  I painted the front and back with pink acyclic paint and then mod podged a piece of scrapbook paper on each board.  Ribbon was stapled to the back to complete the hair bow holders.  I managed to spend approximately $2.25 on each gift.


What have you been doing to save more and spend less?
