We signed all our loan documents on Saturday, we did our final walkthrough on Monday night, we wired the money off on Tuesday, and as soon as I leave work I’m meeting Bear at our new house where the keys…
Thrift Store Finds
Like most crafty bloggers, I adore a good thrift store. Growing up, that’s the only shopping we ever did. Every back to school season meant trips to Value Village and St Vincent DePaul. I remember how mad I got once…
