Polk City had their city-wide garage sales yesterday. My mom, my friend Jamie, her son Tyler, and I met early in the morning to get started. I have been going to these sales for several years and always end up with some good finds. This year was no exception. I brought my camera along to take pictures as we went, but in the excitement of the day I forgot all about it and didn't take any. So here are some pictures of the things I bought, after I got home:
At the first sale we stopped at, I found a 3-gallon Red Wing crock- for only $10. This was a great start!
Stampin' Up stamp set for $1
2 sets of beads $.50 each
3 pinwheels for 10 cents each.
I always put out pinwheels at the cemeteries on Memorial Day- now I just need to remember a year from now that I have these.
By far, the best deals I found were on clothing:
Katie's dress and leggings are Gap
Erin's are Children's Place
I had been to this particular garage sale last year and found they had very good quality girls' clothing, in just the right sizes for us. This year she had so many cute things!
There were a lot of 2 piece outfits, and some even had hair bows to go with them.
I bought 5 outfits there- they were only $3 for a dress and leggings or shirt and skirt. None of the leggings showed any wear on the knees. It is so great to find a garage sale where the clothes are well cared for, clean, nicely displayed and reasonably priced. I will definitely be going back to that house next year!
Other clothing I bought (at several different sales):
Blue and grey striped shirt for Erin- $1
Hanna Andersson blue dress, tights and blue bow- $3 for Katie
Gymboree green shirt, skirt and matching hair bows- $3.25 for Erin
Purple Gap shirt and leggings- $3 for Erin
Black Dockers dress pants for me- $.25
White swimsuit cover-up $.25 for Katie
For $8, I thought Erin might have fun with this doll buggy. It was just too beautiful to leave there. She and Katie are currently playing with the dolls, the buggy, her other stroller; something about Greek gods and Katie being a varmit hunter.
I think the cat might have a feeling that this may not turn out well for him.
Can't wait to see what I might find next!
