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!
I 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!
