Neighborhood Sales

Two of the neighborhoods near ours had garage sales today! Off I went---I hit three or four sales but wasn't seeing anything I really wanted UNTIL I stopped at the sale where I purchased that cute little clock above. I got it for $5.00 AND it works! Don't YOU think it's cute? I'm not sure if this IS the place the clock will live, but for now it is resting quietly. I also pick up this heap-big (new word) basket $4.00 and two pillow forms $1.00. I was glad I was holding the basket when another customer came up or I might have lost it to her! Lesson to be learned--ALWAYS pick up what you might buy you can always put it back. Several sales later and nothing to show, I found this. I have always wanted one and it was only $3.00. It is seven in one pieces and I don't think it had been used because it was all still neatly wrapped up. I went ahead and washed everything to be on the safe side. So that's it! Just a bit today. Most of the sales were to high priced for my blood or NO PRICES at all and I hate asking "how much?" It is just easier when an item has a price on it. :) I'll show you later in a new series called "Before and After" what I do with the basket and the pillow forms. ~~Happy June! ~Keep on Dreaming~

  2. Great finds!
    I too have found that if I see something that I want, I'd better snag it until I decide for certain.

    Love the basket! I would have snagged that one too!

  8. Great finds! I love the clock and like finding baskets so that I can give them with presents if I ever want to and don't have a bag.
    Plus they are great for organizing.
