Wow, did I get lucky with garage sales today! They've been pretty paltry around here this past summer. But today...I must have found eight... plus a church sale! Church sales are the best!
Here is my take:
Plastic snowman snack tray
Plastic snowman snack tray
Christmas basket lined with pretty fabric
A pretty tin that probably once held cookies
A real, but broken, cell phone for the kids at work to play with--and it was only 50 cents. I'll have to write 'toy' on it, or people will think someone dropped it, LOL!
Large metal bunny and egg wreath for next Easter
A humongous oval tray with a Thanksgiving turkey on it--it's plastic but hey, it cost me 15 cents
A pretty gold wire Christmas basket (same garage sale as the turkey platter--for a nickel!)
A big bag of foamie dragonflies and butterflies for crafting
A little stuffed black Halloween kitty cat
A Halloween puppy and a Halloween kitten dressed in pumpkin costumes...all knit!
One of those magic hanger things that let's you hang 5 items in a small space
A 3-ring binder photo album, still in original wrap
A roll of green velvety ribbon
Some little cars for the kids at work
A pasta drying rack
A really nice metal folding table
A meat fork with a red plastic handle
A black Kitchenaid spatula (I dropped my red one without knowing it and my ferrets used it as a chew toy)
And the best thing of all:
A French Tea Set in it's own little cute carrying case. I almost didn't ask the price because I was sure it would be out of my range. I couldn't believe it when the girl said $2!!!
And the original price tag was still on it...for $74!!!!!! The little cardboard things are menus, and the napkins are cloth!
So, what did this great bonanza cost me? Well...I had 11 single dollars when I left home this morning, and came back with 2. Allowing for some quarters, I probably spent less than $12!
Yep, I'm feelin' pretty happy now!

I love the red/white dishes and especially the little creamer.
You are quite the bargain shopper.
I spent $40 on Sat and didn't get half the stuff you did.
Things are high in Texas I think or I am a bad shopper lol.

Now that is garage sale-ing at it's finest!
