So I guess not buying new has translated to not buying anything.  Since my St. T's trip I have not bought anything.  I looked around, but not at used stores.  However I am planning a trip to Omaha where I will be going to Bigwheels to Butterflies and a used bookstore.  It will be fun!  The city wide garage sales in David City are soon too.   Those are always fun and last year we got some amazing deals! 
I really want to get into repurposing things and making my own this and that.  It is hard to find time and space.  But I am confident that the time will soon come.
