Yard Sale Saturday






The girls and I set out for our "girls only" yard sale day.





We are avid bargain hunters and a little rain won't stop us.....Ok, so it was pouring so bad I had to pull off the side of the road at one point. We didn't give up though and stopped at our first yard sale where a group of ladies were our best friends before we left. We shared our hearts, they shared their junk and we parted ways with phone numbers in hand and a promise to stay in touch. Now that's a yard sale.

Our next stop was in small town full of little old people. We fit in with the best of them. They loved channie and she loved the attention. Taylor and I loved the butter dishes and soap we found at this quaint little antique shop.

You probably would have passed it by but we were desperate for a good find and we found several. We also got a free hotdog and coke just because they wanted to be nice to their customers. Channie, Tay and I ate it on the front porch (in the pouring rain) as we swapped stories with the older gentlemen.


We needed more bread pans and we found these at the local thrift store for .50 each.

We also bought Channie a new pair of church shoes for 5.00, alittle pricey for me, but I couldn't say no to the lady who was almost in tears as she was telling me the story about her baby out growing these shoes..(her baby is 19)hey, I'm a sucker for a good story...

We also found soap....We are going to be making our own next week, but these were a bargain and smelled delicious so we grabbed them.

Since we are saving on our power bill and making supper a little more special we picked up a bunch of candles for .25 a bundle.....

I encourage you all to put aside a few hours every Saturday for a few yard sales.

It's a great way to meet new people and get some great bargains...





Treasures: 25.oo


Lunch: free


but time with my girls: priceless.........
