How jeff came home

Jeff usually gets home from work before I do, so when his truck was no where in sight when I got home, I knew he was up to something.  Not long after, I hear his truck pull in and am greeted by this lovely sight.

Don't be distracted by the mustache, look at the filth on his nice shirt.

Then I see that his truck is filled up with...err...stuff?

Turns out that Jeff bought this stuff {shelving units} from a post on craigslist for 50 buckaroos.  To me, it looks like an expensive pile of junk, but Jeff swears that its the shelving unit he's been looing for to transform our mess of a garage. 

He'll put them on this wall.

And fill them with this junk, I mean, stuff.

I think the sweetest part of the deal was that the guy threw in this stationary belt sander for free because he was so relieved that some one was hauling away his no longer needed shelving.

Jeff worked on this project all evening, so hopefully we will have some after photos soon!

Look what we found

Jeff, Wes, and I woke up early on Saturday morning and hit up the garage sales in our area.  We can't get enough of the excitement hunting and finding great deals brings.  I think it has something to do with our obsession with the shows Storage Wars and American Pickers.  Turns out, we did a pretty good job this weekend.  Jeff's prize from this weekend was a beautiful scroll saw pictured below.  It is in great condition and we got it from the original owner for only $40.  This one is ten years old, but a new one (of the same exact thing) costs about $800.  Jeff had been wanting one of these for a long time, so it was perfect. I wonder what I can make him create with it?

I found a few small items, but was really excited about my finds.

This striped fabric is exactly what I had been looking for to use for Wesley's first birthday party.  I got all this for only $2.  It's atleast 10 yards of fabric.

 I found this denim shirt for $1.  It was a perfect fit and I had been looking for a denim top forever, so I couldnt believe I found it.

This week's finds made it so worth getting up early on a Saturday (not that Wesley let's us sleep in anyways).
