Some recent favorites

I just had to share with you some blogs that I have been LOVING lately. I have been going through my reader because it is absolutely out of control! But here are three blogs that will never lose their spot:

Magpie Ethel

I can't remember how I found her blog, but I can't believe it took so long! She finds the BEST STUFF at estate sales. Every time she posts her recent finds I am completely delighted! I wish I was able to go to the sales she finds. Her etsy shop is full of the cutest vintage inspired decorations, but my favorite thing about her blog is her collections! She just posted her 103rd! Every night I'm letting myself look at 5 of her collections, it really is a treat (I just do five at a time because I could really lose hours looking through them). I would love to go to her house and just look at everything! Am I gushing? Haha, I just really love this blog! 

Katie's Pencil Box

At first glance Katie's blog might seem like another one full of pretty pictures of a perfect life. But it really has so much more than that. I love the way Katie captures her everyday life and her writing is so full of heart. My favorite thing this year has been her series of letters from her son Max to his yet to be born baby sister. ("today my lunch fell on the floor at school. it was really embarrassing. grapes and crackers everywhere. baby, never never hold your lunch by the lid when its loose. you've been warned. ")They are really hilarious and sweet. Katie is a painter, and the peonies she is painting for her babies room are so lovely and sweet. Katie seems like someone who would be a really fun friend. 

Yard Sale Blood BathAnother new to me blog that I am kind of obsessed with. The most hilarious, long, amazing posts about trips to estate sales and yard sales. If you like to see photos of the weirdness people try to sell, you will love this blog. They don't ever really post about what they actually do pick up, but I really don't think that is the point. I only wished they posted more! Here is a post I really like "Hillbilly pickers and the smell from hell"
Oh you guys I am so anxious today! We put a bid in for the rest of the scrapbooks at the estate sale I told you about and I can't stop thinking about them. I want them so bad! I might stop by as soon as I get off work to see if they are still there.
