Garage Sale: Part 1

 

I did it!  I went to some garage sales!  All on my own (well with Little Miss and Doggie).  I realize some of you don't understand how my mind works,  (ok none of you) but I am super impressed and proud of myself.  I shall tell you about my day, I know you are wondering. 

 

Ok, so the neighborhood across the way from us was having a whole neighborhood garage sale type deal.  So there was a lot of them within walking distance of each other.  And it is a very nice neighborhood.  HUGE houses, so I figured the stuff would be less likely to have crazy dieses.  Wow, that is really judgmental or me huh? Sorry.  At least I'm admitting to it.  But no really, I want stuff that isn't totally broken down and crap! 

 

So I drove over to the neighborhood and then walked around with Little Miss and Doggie for about two and a half hours!  I don't even know how many houses we went to.  I slowly became more brave.  The first few places I bought stuff, I just paid the asking price.  Then one place there was a bunch of books for $1 each, I asked if I they would take 6 for $5.  Pretty awesome!  And then I saw this little white cabinet deal for $20, and I asked if they would take $15.  They did.  Score.  It is perfect!  I needed something else to go downstairs to store the kid crafts stuff in.  This will be perfect!  I will show you a picture of everything I purchased.

 

 

 

And a close up.

 

Never mind,  I can't get the picture to load.  But basically I got that awesome cabinet deal, a basket (for 25 cents!!) some headbands, (that I would never put on my head, but I will put new fabric on them and then use them) and some gardening and craft books.  Pretty sweet.  All that for a grand total of $24.25.  What do you think?  Did I do good?  This is only my first time going so I don't really know.

 

Side note:  I had more "Oh she is so cute" comments about Doggie then Little Miss.  I have a theory that people love dogs more then babies.  All evidence is pointing to that.  People would add "Oh you are cute too"  and smile at the baby, but then go right back to petting Doggie and asking questions about her.  Very interesting.  Very, very interesting.

 

Another side note:  At every sale that had the man and wife out selling items, I noticed anytime someone would ask the man for some sort of deal, the man would look to his wife and ask them.  Yup, that's right, women rule the world.  Or at least the house.

 

Anyway, that was what I did today.  I also went to the Farmer's Market and worked on a few projects. 

 

I should really go to bed.  It stays light out so late!!  I get confused.

 

Nighty-night.
