Garage Sale Finds

When the girls were babies I went to garage sales every week.  Usually Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  I bought all of the baby equipment we needed as well as most of their clothes and toys.  They came along with me and never complained (yeah, right). 

Now that they are older we are busier and this summer I have hardly had time to go to any sales.  I have been to a few, but hadn't found any great deals.  Last weekend, I lucked out!

Children's Place shirt


I found a bunch of very nice clothes for Katie.  2 different sales had size 10/12 (she can still grow into them)- and almost everything was $1.

Justice sweater and matching bejeweled tank top.  Which she says she will never wear because it is "scratchy." 
It's not.  It's very soft.  Erin says she'll wear it when it fits her.

Same color- different shirt.  This is a henley with beading detail.  She said she will wear this one.

Land's End corduroy jumper and matching shirt.  $1.50 for both!   

A vintage jigsaw puzzle for $.50 and the whole collection of The Chronicles of Narnia for only $.25
And my favorite find of the day........

Looks interesting- what might be in this old card box with the faded writing?
 
They are real butterflies!  The man who was selling them (50-ish years old) said that his grandpa gave them to him when he was a kid, and then his kids had enjoyed them.  I don't know why anyone would ever sell them- they are so cool! 

Tomorrow morning is the Polk City city-wide garage sales. My mom, my friend Jamie and I are meeting at 7:30- who knows what we will find this year?

Found any great things at a garage sale?  Post a comment!

  1. Awesome deals! Can't wait for tomorrow, I may have a hard time sleeping. Today's best two deals were a pair of baby shoes still in the box, marked $30 from the store for 50 cents and a box of Discovery Toys Bright Builders for 50 cents! Oh yeah and a bunch of Taste of Home and Simple and Delicious magazines out of the FREE BOX! See you in the morning, my alarm is set for 4:45 am, so we can be on the road by 5:30!

    1. Great deal on the baby shoes! There are so many ways to get good quality baby items without paying full price. And we love Discovery Toys- nothing from their catalog costs $.50!!

      I'll have to post my finds from today later. I had the camera with me to take pictures of us all and totally forgot.
