One Woman's Trash......

On Saturday, while Will and I were on our way to a yard sale in Morro Bay, I spotted this mirror in a pile of garbage on the curb! There was a man with a weed wacker working in the yard so I yelled at him to get his attention and asked if they were really throwing this away. He said that the house was being cleaned out and I was more than welcome to take it. I was really excited because Ive actually been needing a full length mirror for a long time. The amazing thing about this mirror is that the glass is in perfect condition, not a single nick or crack. All it needed was a little sprucing up. I painted it this morning (coincidentally the color is called 'Morro Bay') and glued some heavy, silver wrapping paper in the inset panels for some extra pop.

An Ebay update: last week we hit the jackpot when we scored 3 camera lens at a yard sale for $20 dollars. Today my auction went off and I sold two of the lenses for a combined $139! I also got $20 for a messenger bag that I bought for $5. Yard sales were slow this weekend and I mainly bought things for myself but I still have some cool things to put on ebay from last week including several sets of vintage souvenir coasters.

Central Coast Summer

Welcome to the fickle summer weather of the central coast. We are enjoying the cool, foggy mornings watching the otters in Morro Bay while sipping Top Dog chai lattes. We are also taking advantage of any clear sunny day to explore our local beaches.

The Farm

Here is the progress of the garden so far. It's growing pretty slow but we've had a lot of foggy weather so far this spring. It's my first garden so Im proud that it's even alive at this point! That last picture reminds me that I need to go do some weeding......

Here is what we have growing:

Roma Tomatoes (2), Blue Lake Bush Beans, Oregano, Jalapenos (2), Lemon Cucumber,Yellow Crookneck Squash, Zucchini, Cilantro, Nasturtiums and there was a Basil plant but it mysteriously disapeared.
