Unreal Garage sale Finds.

This past weekend I had Saturday off and decided that I would visit a few garage sales looking for some goodies for my etsy, and low and behold I found some amazing things.

I found a few things for myself, including 4 old blue Mason jars, for only 1 buck a piece!

After making some conversation with the home-owners, the little old lady came over to me holding a huge jar and said 'This might interest you, its shark vertebrae.' 

Yes... SHARK VERTEBRAE!

I couldn't resist. 

So I bought a Gallon jar full of the stuff.

She had painted some of them black and red to make jewelry, but they were so amazing just natural that I was determined to get them back to it... I separated the natural ones from the painted ones, and began some cleanup! 

Rinsed the natural ones with hot water, and vinegar to kill the smell. 

And then drenched the painted ones in some diluted bleach. 

I repeated it three times... 

And finally they are back to their natural color. 

Anyway.. I added some to one of the blue mason jars. 

Gorgeous... right??

Headed Home!

Today I packed up my car with Christmas gifts, goodies, and Alabama and headed up the hill to my moms.  

I was born and raised in this place, and even though I haven't lived here for 7 years, I still call it home.

I think I always will.

I blasted Christmas songs on my way up, and tried to soak up every second of it. 

Alabama hid away from the cold under her blanket the entire time, and the last 15 minutes of the drive, for the first time in her life, she discovered that she can put her head out of the window!! I was laughing hysterically because it was SO CUTE!

The cold weather had made everything barren and empty, the red barns were the only color for miles around! 

I have always loved taking photos of where the sky meets the horizon, but these are some of my favorites. 

I hope you like them!
