Lovin Yard Sales!

I had another great weekend of yard sales. The kids and I started out on Friday and I continued on my own (with Matlyn in tow) on Saturday (Greg had the kids in the pool all day) Have I mentioned how much I absolutely LOVE having a GPS system?! It is so much easier to find streets in the yard sale section of the newspaper. Though I have been in this area for 10 years, there are still quite a few streets that I can't find. I have found gorgeous streets that I didn't even know existed thanks to my GPS :)

The first yard sale we hit on Friday took half of my money! Expensive prices...no...they just had so much stuff we wanted that I spent just over $17. I bought unique Christmas ornaments, clothing, knick-knacks, jewelry and a small dresser for Matlyn. The kids each bought a few things as well.

Saturday is when I found some awesome buys. I bought this cute little homemade bench and a chair, only $5 for the pair!



They would be so cute for a child, dolls or even potted plants out front on the lawn!

Check this out! Anyone remember this from the 70's? I think it may have been a few years before I was born, but I did see this Barbie fold up airplane at the Toy Museum in Wheeling. Only paid $1 for it!



It opens up to show the galley area and the seating. Too cool!



I also found 5 old license plates from 5 different states (I have this obsession with license plates)



I have been hanging them up in my 2 car garage. Hoping to cover every wall at one point.

I just love going to yard sales. You can find so many unique things that you could never find in a store. You don't even realize how many items there are out there! I pick up brand new items to put away for gifts all the time and save a ton of money!

I just zone out during yard sale season...it is my sanctuary of peace!
