Pre-Wedding Garage Sale

I woke up the morning of the wedding and decided to go to garage sales. I had already gotten a bundle of ones *just in case*. Bebo saw my wad of dollar bills and asked if I had gotten them from "my other job". ~rolling my eyes~ funny boy.

The first few that we hit were a bust. I have a few hard rules about garage sales.
#1---Clean up your stuff. I do not care how wonderful it is, if it is nasty....I will not buy it.
#2---It is a garage sale. Put a garage sale price on it. You may have bought it at Dillards or Neman Marcus but it is now on your drive way on top of a cardboard box...price accordingly.
#3---Put a price tag on it. I am not going to pick up every item and ask *how much is this?*

I ended up buying things from 2 different garage sales. One was a DREAM and I could have bought more!! I spent $21.50 in all.

Here is my loot!

In this picture you will find a heavy store bunny with dried yellow roses (which Diesel was chewing on before this picture), a full/queen sized patchwork quilt in perfect condition, a tray with a tile bottom that I am totally going to re-do....you will see this one again! There are also tea cup wallies, an enamel ware pot, a crock pitcher, a glass pitcher, a brighton tin and a canvas snowman.
I got this wonderful pillow that matches my living room, another brighton tin (I am not even a brighton girl but I love their tins), a wire chicken basket and a fitz and floyd bunny bowl brand new and in it's box.
I got two brand new baby blankets. I was also able to get babygator 2 pair of shoes...one is American Eagle and the other was Girl Punk or something like that.

Why baby blankets you ask? Babygator and Biker are in the middle of taking classes to be certified as foster parents. They have already been forewarned that rarely do the kids come with anything. We have decided to just go ahead and start buying some things up and have them washed are ready for when they are needed.

This....THIS is what I love the most! I paid $2 for it and it is totally worth it. It is an old sewing box.
Look how purdy she is all opened up! A little Murphy's Oil Soap and she will look good as new!
And it was filled with treasures!!!!

Can you believe it? 10 cents for a card of buttons! These buttons must be old!!


And then there is Diesel....who just could not keep his curiosity to himself. He kept squinting his eyes because of the flash but it sure did not bother him enough to go on!

What treasure are you looking for?

.......ready for Saturday....who wants to go?
