Every year, to celebrate my Grandma's birthday, my aunts, uncles & cousins meet at Grandma's to clean the yard.  My two cousins and I are usually in charge of a "special" project.  We've cleaned out the the garden shed, the garage & the fruit room (this year's project).  We are not emotionally attached to anything that might desperately need to be thrown out.

We like uncovering treasures and getting rid of "scary things" (a metal can that was eaten by bleach).  We gathered all the cool things we found and put them on the "Retro Shelf" (top photo).  The soap was from my Great Grandparents home.  It's dated in the 1930's.  My cousin took home the green fondue pot and my grandma let me keep these awesome blue jars & tray.  Picture them with flowers & other assorted scrapbooking supplies!  YEAH!

Aren't these two boys the cutest helpers ever?  The boys were such good helpers.  And my cousin Spencer let Riley follow him the entire time!  It's amazing how much work a bunch of people can get done in 3 hours time.
