Yard Sale Finds

Last weekends High School rummage sale was a bust! Found a few books but that was it! Stopped at another rummage sale and found this Racing jacket.

We went to Mr. Goodjunks sisters house in the OC and stopped at a little thrift store. I found these items plus about 10 pieces of clothing. I took my items up to the counter and the lady said $7.00 for everything!
Woo-hoo! I should make my money back just by selling the Bumbo chair or the baby activity toy that are now sitting at a consignment sale along with the clothes I found.

Some of those clothes already sold too! Yesterday, consignors and volunteers got to shop early. Today it is open to the public until Friday.
I hope to get some pics of my finds up.

Have a good day! Happy treasures to you.

Block Yard Sale Part 1

This weekend was very busy! I went to two block sales! YEAH! I will just write about the first one in this post. I look forward to this sale every year. They usually do it the weekend after Labor Day and I was thinking maybe they decided to skip it this year, but as I was looking on Craigslist for yard sales the past weekend, I saw a posting for it! It's not that far either, just about two blocks away. Here are some things I scored!
Quite a few plush toys. Hope to get them listed sometime this month. I say month 'cause, well, this past week was a good plush week for me.

Golf toy $1.00

Love this Madeline set! $1.00

Jessie Toy Story Boots $1.00

Sweet Elves. I haven't seen any like this with striped legs before.

Old Tea tins. I plan to put magnets on the back of them, and use on my fridge. Griswold Cast Iron flue cover.

Vintage sheets with yellow flowers to add to my yellow sheet collection. One day I would like to make a quilt for my bed using all my yellow sheets!

Hope you found some good treasures!

Yeah, I can breathe!

The last week has been VEERRRYYYYY stressful. I signed up for my first consignment sale, about a month ago, and it is this weekend. I waited, and waited, and waited to start organizing my items I was going to take. I am probably the best procrastinator out there! I barely printed my tags two days ago, and today, Wednesday, was my drop off apointment. UUGHHHH...Last night was a very long night, making sure the toys were clean, small items were bagged, and battery operated toys were working. Tape, scissors, Mr. Clean magic eraser, hangers, and safety pins have been my best friends these past few days! Here are some of the items I took to consign..

I had a total of 115 items, mostly toys. Toys I never, didn't have time to post on ebay, and or procrastinated posting, toys that didn't sell, and toys that I was waiting to get a bigger selecton of. I must say I do feel better about having those items out of my house, since now there is a little dent of room in my garage! Hopefully alot of them don't come back, or if they do it's okay 'cause I have another consignment show in a few weeks.

I was good and didn't go to any thrift stores this past week, well, I did yesterday. Got a few books, and two puzzles. Saturday I went to a few yard sales. I had 4 planned but two were no show yard sales. Advertised, but nobody and no items outside. Perhaps the slight drizzle scared them away?! It didn't last long though, and didn't seem to scare away the other yardsalers! The first yard sale, (really, should have been 3rd yard sale) mostly had clothes. I bought a few shirts for little sweetpea and a Christmas nightgown still new with tag for $3.50. Oopps, sorry no pic.
Last, but not least yardsale, had me doing a happy dance! I found this pyrex bread pan for a $1.00, and the glass butter dish for 50 cents.

As I was walking away I peeked into a box and spyed with my little eye some tracks that said Tomy on them. I knew they had to be Thomas, I moved the tracks around and saw some Thomas trains. I asked how much, and the nice little boy said $3.00 for everything. Okay, sold!

I already packaged them nicely, and listed them on ebay! Yeah, me. There's one thing I didn't procrastinate about this week!
Hope you all found some great treasures, and have a relaxing week!
