Yard Sale Nirvana!
My friend Christy and I hit the road at 7:15 yesterday morning.
By ourselves.
That's probably the earliest I've been able to go out yard saling because it is nigh impossible to get two little girls out of bed, fed, dressed, and packed up to leave the house at that time.
Our first stop was convenient because it was just up the street from my house. Christy found a lovely white wrought iron twin bedframe for $5, and I scored a pair of Sleeping Beauty dress-up shoes for $0.50.
Two large neighborhoods on my side of town were hosting community-wide yard sales, so after hitting the Starbucks drive-through (thank you, Christy!!), we headed to the first neighborhood and were not disappointed.
I found a vintage apron for $1.00
Christy scored a $7 vintage golf club bag for her husband and an adorable toddler-size Crayola roller suitcase for $3.
At the next neighborhood, I happened upon a cutesy Gymboree zebra-striped dress for Natalie ($1), a pair of shorts for $0.10 and a cupcake t-shirt for $0.25.
I also grabbed a Martha Stewart book for $0.50 and a white platter for $0.50.
My grand total for a morning full of bargain hunting?
$3.35...not bad! We were able to shop sooo many more sales because we weren't having to get kids in and out of car seats, hand out Goldfish crackers, and remind tiny people to keep their sticky little fingers to themselves.
If you like checking out other people's best bargains, head over to visit Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for her Thrifty Treasures party. It's loads of fun!

Sounds like fun especially being able to do so without children. I haven't been to yard sales in quite sometime. Fabulous scores.
ReplyDeleteLove the platter! about that cream platter you passed up - don't forget you can spray paint it white! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute apron! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNow how stinking cute is that vintage apron. It's so 50's martini lounge!!! Love the little zebra dress too. Oh to be little again. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey, 1st in line girl! Cute stuff for the kiddos! Glad you got to go solo this week, that has to be so much more fun. And a drive thru Starbucks is always fun. Love what you found.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!
ReplyDeleteI saw so many yard sales I wanted to stop at yesterday but we were on the way to a softball game! Glad you had fun-love the platter but the shoes would have been the hit at our house!
ReplyDeleteummm, I want those shoes....for me! Oh yes, with having raised 3 daughters I understand why having a 2nd pair will really ease the stress level! :)
ReplyDeleteDarling clothes and cute thrifting buddy!

Love the white platter! I am starting a collection of white dishes too - I'll have to start hitting the garage sales and hopefully find some good deals like you did! Totally loving the apron, too.

I bought a new apron this weekend, too! Although, mine isn't cool and vintage, and it wasn't a great deal - but it still makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteWe need an apron party :)
I just love the apron and zebra dress too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! $3.35? That's crazy! That zebra dress is too cute. I can't believe it is already time for another dishing it! Yay!
ReplyDeleteYou had a very successful morning. I love your vintage apron. The graphics on it are too cute! I think I have that Martha book (it was Granny's). I always enjoy looking through a book like that. You got a lot of good stuff for a small amount of money.
