Celebrating the end of summer and sneaking in a fun estate sale

A week ago, Chris picked up this moose bell for the a frame.  Before groceries were unpacked at the cottage, Chris had it mounted at the door.  We are officially ready for guests!!

Friday evening was a bit rainy, so we got all cozy with a few board games and books.  

Saturday morning, Chris scouted out an estate sale with thirty minutes of the cottage. 

In addition to a mini bookshelf,  we filled two boxes with vintage holiday and crafting supplies.  I promise to take additional pictures later this week of my stash.

The best deal were these stack of fiestaware that were left behind in the basement.  

I surprised my sister with them on Sunday.   Speaking of my sister, the two of us were brave and went tubing behind the boat. 

After screaming ourselves silly, We both agree that this kind of tubing is more our speed.  

On Tuesday, the girls and Chris start school.  

 Although we are officially saying goodbye to our summer schedules, we are looking forward to visiting the lake as much as possible.  

Happy September, everyone.  I hope your Labor day weekend was a restful one.
