(More) Garage Sale Goodies!

Apparently around here Thursdays and Fridays are the best garage sale shopping days!
(I just find that so weird!)

So, this morning, the kids and I headed out to a sale - and were happily surprised to find that it was part of a neighborhood sale!
Hooray for multiple garage sales in a small area!

Here's what we got at a few of them:

Scrabble game - $1
I'm not going to be playing the game - instead I'll use some of the letters as part of Tot School and some for making tile pendants! And I know I've seen some kind of craft using the board...I'll have to search for that.
...not sure what to do with the tile holders....any ideas?!


*
4-drawer bin - $2 - will be used for small crafty things,
letter sorter - $1 - will be used for organizing Tot School weekly "lessons",
and 2 baby dolls that move and make baby noises - $2 for both


*
Large Mohawk area rug (8 x 10?)- $25,
365 Science activities book - $3

Then we headed over to another sale we saw on the way to the first one.
It turned out to be an estate sale - not sure what the story is there - It looked like the "evicted tenants left all their things" situation, but I don't know for sure. Anyway, I found some good containers to use for our crafts and Tot School for ubber cheap plus several partial packs of pull-ups (odd, but they were obviously clean and from a non-smoking home, so why not?)
I got all the following for $6.00

Oh how I wish we had a truck!
Soooo many of these sales have furniture priced ridiculously cheap!!!
...and we're still needing couches for the basement and a table for my craft room, but no way to get them home :( ...

  2. You can always ask the homeowners for help if you don't live too far and it looks like they might have a truck. I know I'd be willing to help move a couch if someone bought it from me...just an idea. Love your posts!
