Let the Garage Sales Begin!

It's garage sale season!  With the mild winter we had, they never really went away -- there were usually 1 or 2 to be found most weekends -- but last Thursday was the first day I found multiple garage sales to browse.  I think I went to about 8 or 9 of them.  Here's what I found that I "couldn't live without".


Bling-y gold flip-flops. These are so NOT me; I usually go for something more earthy.  But these were just 25¢ so I grabbed them. And I love them!


Burgundy sunflower candle pedestals.  There were three of them for $1 each, so I made them mine.  The one with the candle on top is one I already had, so now I have enough to make an arrangement or two.  Just need to find more sunflower yellow candles.  These are great decor for late summer and early autumn, but they match my living room so well that I leave them out year round.

I was a big spender at the church sale, were I found two new packages of cupcake liners for a nickel each.  They're just the basic pastel liners, but the price was right.

I also found a swimsuit  for $1 that may or may not fit Kat (didn't notice that the top and bottom weren't the same size), and a decent length of Weed Block fabric for 50¢.

Pretty good haul for less than $5.

I was hoping to hit a couple last weekend but it just didn't work out. Looks like you hit some jackpots tho! Good for you! I can't wait!

I'm not sure if I'll make it out to any this weekend or not. Shane has to work on Saturday -- that doesn't stop me, but it's more fun if we can go together.
Great deals!! I LOVE yard sale season! It was actually at a yard sale that I fell and twisted my ankle, well there went any further shopping! LOL Can't wait to go back out. Also purging my house and getting rid of sTUFF! Can't take it anymore the girls have too much. Not sure if I'm brave enough to post before pictures, lol.
Have a great night!

We are trying to get rid of things, too, which has made me a little more selective when buying at garage sales. When we had a flea market booth, I used to buy stuff to resell. It puts a whole different spin on the garage sale experience.

I hope your ankle is starting to feel better by now.
I LOVE the gold flip flops! So cute!

I'm surprised at how much I like them. :)
