I have gone to garage sales for 3 out of the last 5 Saturday's...I love it! And I plan to go to 3 community sales next weekend! I don't always find something, but it's so much fun to look at other people's junk, lol. So far this summer I have found:
-clothes for both kids
-a dresser for Jackson's room (which I have yet to take a pic of and start my project on)
-some toys
-a new diaper genie (I donated our old one to the church nursery, and took what was in the nursery to the MRC)
-a huge OSU chair for Jackson's room
-curtain tie-backs
-books
-ice trays (for making baby food)
-a magnetic chore chart (excited to start this with Livi...she probably won't be as excited!)
-a high chair to use on our patio (I got tired of dragging our good one out the door every time we ate outside, so this one is perfect!)
I'm probably missing a few things, but out of all of that, I bet I haven't spent more than $40! The tie-backs, ice trays and chore chart I got for free :)
I'm REALLY looking for a kids picnic table for our patio. I saw 2 today, but 1 was already sold, and the other wasn't exactly for sale...she was using it to display clothes, and was going to throw it out after her sale, because it was really beat up. Oh well, there's always next weekend!
I remember my mom loving going to garage sales, I guess she passed that on to me! Just wish she was here to go with me to all of these sales!
3 weeks from today we'll be 1/2 way (or almost there, hopefully!) to the beach! In my last post I said I needed to get started on my packing lists...I've really been slacking! I have started, but I've been lazy. Today might be a good day to do that, Jason is golfing and the kids are fast asleep!
I'll end this post with a question...What's your favorite thing about summer? Mine is garage sales and swimming :)
