Garage Sale Score

My elementary school put on a garage sale last week to raise money for our students. I was so thrilled to find this little pillow with the word "joie" on it (meaning "joy" in French):


A few years ago, my mom gave me the other pillow "bonheur" (meaning happiness in French). I like these subtle reminders of my life in France... makes it feel more home-y!


Above this cozy chair are two of my favorite pictures of my husband and me:


What about you? Have you found any second-hand treasures lately?

    What a great find, and that it's meaningful AND beautiful makes it so much better! I haven't found any second-hand treasures lately (I'm on a shopping diet! Not going too well!)

    I love those pillows! I might have to try making some like these for my new bedroom. I'm in the processes of completely starting over on it, with mostly DIY stuff of course!
