I'm going to an auction in a bit, hope to find some goodies!

My daughters and I have gone garage saling every Saturday since the beginning of summer vacation. My girls are 3, 8, and 10 and they LOVE garage saling. Here's our deals for this week:

2 pairs 4T winter jammies $1 each
1 girls shirt $1
1 pair new with tag girls capries $1
1 flower shaped rug $1.50
1 small mirrow $2
1 wicker desk organizer $3
2 24 inch white floating shelves $2 each (EXACTLY what I wanted for our bathroom)
2 Disney Princess books $.25 each
1 set small plaques .25 for both
1 Disney Princess Jewelry box $.25
1 Cinderella Disney cup with straw $.50
1 NIP window paint $.50
1 brushed nickel lamp with pink lace shade and beading $6 (was marked $8)
1 boyfriend pillow $2
1 red moziac vase $1
1 never-been-used light fixture $3
Various free items including a pink sparkly belt with a butterfly buckle

Another great deal I found this week: a new looking Ann Taylor 60% silk sweater for $2 at Goodwill.

That's all I can think of for now. I spent around $30 this time but usually don't spend over $20. I've been finding kids pants for $1 and kids shirts for
$.50. I came home last week with a huge bag of kids clothes (several Lizzie McGuire items) for $13. One of our best finds this summer was a like new Schwinn bike with hand brakes for $15 (marked $20 but hadn't sold by 2 pm that day)

Since gas prices are so high, my girls and I hit neighborhood or community sales only. We park and walk around a neighborhood for a while. We usually go to 2-3 neighborhoods each Saturday. We take our own food and buy drinks for $.50 at yard sales. We can't wait to go next weekend!

Happy Yard Saling

Sincerely,

Corie

Hi all, I only made one garage sale this weekend but I got a really nice stool for my bedroom with blue and white toile fabric that matches perfectly. The lady then threw in a whole box of other items for free.
2 bottles of Mod Podge
4 decorative tin cans ( one with a music box in it and one old coffee tin)
2 pieces of fabric remnants
1 brown skirt
2 packs of unused cupcake wrappers
2 partial rolls of craft ribbon
A doll cradle for my daughter
and the stool all for $20.00
Although I only went to one sale I wracked up. I love garage saling almost as much as going to thrift stores. Can't wait for the weekend.
This was a really great deal but the best so far was a Singer Featherweight 221 in it's original hard-case for $20.00 It is in good working condition with only a minor musty smell in the box. They sell on Ebay for 300+ all day long.WHOOOO HOOOOOO

1 3T hawaiian print boys top (print almost matches the dress) for 1.99
**All three of these will make nice birthday gifts for my best friends daughter and son in Sept/Oct**

Hi, new here.

I went to my neighbors garage sale a few doors down and was able to find shorts/shirts (12 items) all for only $3.00. They just wanted everything to go so they had dirt cheap prices. The clothes are all in good shape and mostly from the GAP.

Tammy

The clothes were for my 4 year old son.
