Yard sales rule!

Since I'm not able lately to spend as much time on the puter, I consoled myownself with a few garage sales last week. The first was a bust. Y'all know the kind... everything is 'treasure', and priced accordingly. Next was the best I've been to in years. These people know how to do a sale! Check it out! (Sorry about the not-so-great pics. Just didn't feel like a do-over)



Can you guess how much I paid for everything in the picture above? Duller tried to lowball it and still guessed too high. There's a snowman sweatshirt, a mock turtle-neck, 2 yellow blouses, a pair of shorts, a necklace, tote, purse, snowman candle holder thingy, square metal candle holder, frosted glass bell, Christmas basket, satin pillowcase, 3 boxes of glass ornaments, and a cute little wooden mouse on a bunk. (A couple closer looks below).

Are you ready for this? I got everything for ONE DOLLAR!

At the last stop, which we just happened upon, I got 6 books for a buck. The purple one is a church cookbook.

I was so tickled with these deals, I wanted to find more sales. Alas, it was late in the day and everybody was wrapping up. It's kind of a trade-off. If I get out earlier, I can catch more sales. But getting out a few hours later means people are marking things down. Reckon I can live with not being an early bird. 8-]

Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^
