I don't know if it was the looooooooonnnng winter or what, but I was SO excited to get out and visit the first one of the year that I was able to check out. And, equally as excited to blog about it!
I just went to one, but we also went to our yearly homeschool co-op swap and were blessed with a few goodies (and took 3 trash bags of stuff to share).
At the yard sale, I spent a total of $23.00 (includes the items below, too). My goal was to find clothes for baby girl. I was hoping for newborn/3 months, but I wasn't successful. I did find some cute 6 month items, though.
I found 5 pair of pj's for Mini Cooper at just 50 cents a piece. Great deal!
And for $2.00 I picked up a fall coat for Mini Cooper. I love that it is black and doesn't show dirt-since it may need to last through all 3 of my little girls!
The swap was just a lot of fun! It seemed like everyone left with a few new treasures-almost as good as Christmas (maybe even better since it didn't cost any money). Our favorite finds:
3 magnetic people books. We love these!
I thought we'd give this game a try. It's the kind of game we would only play once or twice, so we will play it and then take it to the next swap. I love how that works!
There weren't any baby girl clothes (there are 4 of us having or have had baby girls this year), but I did find this adorable little dress, boots and hat. They won't fit for a bit, but I'm happy to store such cuteness!
My very favorite kind of Carter's blanket.
A lovely pile of little girl clothes for Mini Cooper and Explorer to share and pass down to the new little lady. There were a few more items we found, but they were already in the wash when I took this photo.
And this beautiful Christmas dress. Hopefully it will fit Explorer this Christmas!
Last but not least, I forgot to take a picture of this, but Mini Cooper found a BabyCakes cupcake maker! She was thrilled. I normally wouldn't have bought one (since I hear most people only use it a couple of times), but we are looking forward to making some cupcakes for our Easter week next week.
My friend Mrs. Taffy is not blogging anymore, so I don't have anywhere to link up at. I'd love to hear about any treasures you found this week, though!! It's part of the fun of finding a deal :).
I hope you have a great week!
God Bless,
Lisa
Hey Lisa! So glad you stopped by my blog! I've enjoyed peeking around your site and getting to know you and your family a bit. It's always interesting to see someone who schools so differently. Love it! And we sound a lot alike in the house keeping area. Ugh! Bane of my existence. :-)

What fun!! I haven't had a chance to check any out yet.. but I am looking forward to going to some soon! We are having ours sometime this month as well! Gotta finish purging the house before then!
ReplyDeleteI love yard sales too! Isn't quite warm enough here yet, but excited to get out there and see what I can see! Looks like you found some great items!
