So what’s that make my total? Umm…. $25.75. Yeah. I like garage sales.
Score on the Julia Child!! *tries very hard not to feel covetous*
WOW! Sounds like you found such great stuff….again! I wish I knew where to find the great stuff in my area.
Where do you live? I love finding this good stuff.
To feed my Garage Sale fix I built http://www.garagesalenation.com, it maps out all the sales in the country. Last weekend I had over 24,000 sales on it.
Try it.
I love garage sales. But I haven’t been able to make it to one yet this summer.
You may have found your calling in life.
Serious booty.
Where in the world do you live?! You get the best stuff… sigh… I am a tad green with envy right now…
Awesome! You certainly come away from your yard sales with so many treasures! How do you find these yard sales? Do you just happen to come across them, or do you look for ads in the paper or what?
Seriously, I just drive around looking for signs. I never check the paper, or even Craigslist- just look for signs and follow the arrows. There are a few church sales in the summer that I look forward to each year; church sales are almost always fabulous. But by and large, I just look for signs.
