THE grandma'S FINDINGS

JOIN ME ON THURSDAYS TO SEE WHAT I'VE PICKED UP WHILE OUT TREASURE HUNTING.

This month was so fun to thrift with my sister and mom!  We all had a great time.  This will be a three part series starting with the Bates' findings, then the sister's findings, and ending with grandma's findings.  

My Grandma Baker's birthday was on July 18th, and our outing was in memory of her.  She loved to take us to Sally's as she called the Salvation Army, and we all have fond memories of our time thrifting with grandma.
