The wait is over.
Yard sales are back in town!!!
I have been to a few yard sales in the past several weekends, but nothing spectacular. It was cold and windy and when the weather is bad I tend to look really fast. I am sure I missed something that would have made me a million dollars (yeah right!!) but it was just too cold and nasty to find it.
But that is all over with now. They. Are. Back.
In browsing craigslist on Friday night there were dozens of yard sales in a 10 mile radius of my house. Be still my heart!!! Now to choose just the right ones.....
There was one just around the corner from my house that yielded this

The next stop yielded this

The rest of the stops are bundled into this box:

The Berenguer baby doll is used for reborn dolls. I find them creepy but maybe that is just me.Mrs. Frizzle is in good shape and I couldn't resist the Eeyore plush. A vinyl keyboard that plugs in via a USB port will go in my bag for use with my laptop. I absolutely hate to use my old laptop keyboard because I am constantly hitting the wrong keys. They are just in the wrong place!! Under the keyboard is a big bag of Easy Bake Oven and Mixer accessories. Also found were 10 Care Bear vinyl figurines from the 80's, 2 Smurf figurines from the 80's and 3 other small vinyl figures. 10 cents each.They were taking a bath when I took pics.
You can't see the bag under the dolls but it is a plastic grocery bag full of Polly Pocket, Playmobil, LPS and just all kinds of small toys. The bag was $2, and I "think" I can make my money back. At the same sale that I picked up the bag of small toys I got 5 pair of old glasses with wire frames and 3 glasses cases, and this little cutie from the FREE box.

A church sale down the road yielded

How was your yard sale weekend?
no yard sales here yet. It's been raining on and off the last two days. I did find some good stuff at the thrift store but since my ebay sales are so slow, I have not gone to goodwill in almost two weeks
ReplyDeleteGosh, it was in the mid 80's here today. I don't think I have been to Goodwill in 3 or more weeks. My downfall is my favorite thrift that has the 25c bins. They raised the price to $1 in December, but lowered it in January. Things started piling up. I'll risk a quarter but not a dollar on some items and I think others felt the same. The bins are calling me......
DeleteYard sales haven't really started in full swing yet here in the north! I can't wait though. Hoping to find a few in the coming weeks. You had some great finds!

The problem here is all the pollen. Everything is green and makes your eyes water.
