YARD SALES!

I said I was going to stop going to yard sales.
I said I couldn't fit any thing else into my house.
I said I was going to have a yard sale and get rid of all my clutter and be able to walk in our two car garage again.

Well, I guess I fibbed.

Today is a beautiful day. Sun is shining, temperatures are rising and no rain. We went to four yard sales. The first one was up a road down from my house. They had LOTS of stuff. He said he needed room in his garage (does this sound familiar?) I bought quite a few items from there. The second one I went to I only bought three things and two of those are for the kid's table at our family reunion. I always try to have things for the kids to play with or take home with them at our family reunion in June. The third one I never bought anything! And the fourth one was in the bank parking lot, they were raising money for Relay for Life. I bought a few more items for the kid's table there, also.

This is what the back of our car looks like on yard sale days:

Here are pictures of most of the things I bought.

These bags are full of marbles, some are the round ones and some are the flat ones.
I thought it was a very good buy for only 25 cents a bag.
I'm sure I can find something to do with them.

I love this vase full of flowers

A bunch of new fragrant candles, a Boyds bear, a red iron paper towel holder, chicken pot holder, a group of holiday wash rags, hand made wooden cars and a neat little school desk that opens up on top to put things in.

I got a pretty music box gazebo, wooden plagues with sayings engraved on them, a new pair of long curtains and a cute little heart sign with daisies.

As you can see by the prices, they didn't cost me very much. See why I love yard sales!
I also got my son a computer chair mat to put on the carpet for his computer chair to glide on. He's been wanting one, but we didn't want to pay the high price the stores were asking for them. He loves it.

Have you been going to any yard sales lately?
