Their lovely home gave me a glimpse into a way of life I know my husband would love. Note to self: work on organizing, even as you haul home their carefully labelled cast-offs.
Picked up a handmade tote in fall colors (.25), a natural wood puzzle (.50), and a Pampered Chef dough roller (.25). 
Oh, and a fake autumn branch (.05). We're making acorn people with clothespins later; the leaves will make fine dresses.

Meredith, I was wishing you had photographed that organized home. ha! Wouldn't that have been fun? I can't wait to see your acorn people. Thanks in part to you, we are slowly moving more toward wooden toys (we sell a LOT to get a little wood) and it's so beautiful. We end up having much much less yet they get played with more and look beautiful on the shelf. We're even starting a nature table. I can't wait to see your acorn people! The wooden owl looks so nice! Have you ever found an Ostheimer figure at a yard sale?

Very nice blog! I found it recently,I don't remember where but it's very enjoyable.
pampered chef dough roller for a quarter! wow. that is indeed a steal of a deal.
what are acorn people?
Yard sale treasures are my favorite! I find ALL my best stuff there.
Will you show us how to make acorn people? :)
I love yard sales! You had some good finds. I just love your table scape. Your blog site is wonderful, and I really enjoy reading it.
God bless

Yard sales are so fun aren't they?!
Beautiful finds! Especially the sweet owl puzzle.
AH! I have been wanting that exact rolling pin and have really been hoping not to have to order it! I continually find ways I could use that nifty little gadget! Now if only I can find one too!
A similar dough roller can sometimes be found at TJ Maxx though not as inexpensive as your find.
Looking forward to seeing your acorn people--what a great idea!
Many blessings...
