sale away!

last weekend was full of nifty surprises at the family garage sale (first and last ever!). i'm happy to share a few of the interesting treasures we came across  (this account may evolve over a series of posts!)...if not for papaG and his hardworking bro and sis (as well as a little help from the universe) many of these spirited (and spirit filled!) objects would still be living in their parent's crawlspace.

many (many many many) things, and sweetly stored memories were brought to light. 

instagram has nothing on the joy that can be felt when a truly faded  memory is given new life.

it was hard to stop taking photos! but sadly, the day had to come to an end.
collections of former loves (literally) were packed into the family van for the next leg of their journey,

in hopes that some might find new stories in other homes, be held by other loving hands,
to be remembered again and again.

bon voyage!
