Yard Sale Finds!
I love yard sale season!!!! I went by myself a couple of weeks ago to multiple sales and then again yesterday with a friend to a large neighborhood sale. I thought I'd share some of my finds with you.
Clothes! The dress was $5 but everything else was $2 or less. The pink collared shirt from Talbots was part of a 3/$1 (!!!) deal at a church sale.
White bowl for decorating, books forhoarding reading and gifting, workout DVDs.
Fancy pants outlet cover for a quarter. It goes well in my living room. I'm going to keep an eye out for various outlet/ light switch covers for cheap.
More clothes!! The white thing on the left is a fun faux fur jacket for $3. The shirts and sweater were all $2-$3, which is a little more than I like to pay but I really loved all of these pieces and they will mesh well with my wardrobe. The nice thing is that I can always make my money back by sending stuff to the consignment store if they don't fit or don't work for me.
I also bought more books (not pictured). I am a known book and clothes hoarder, and I don't have any remorse about it whatsoever! This yard sale season, I'm looking for books, clothes, gifts, and home decor. Anybody else out there yard sale-ing? Or are you avoiding the potential clutter?

New with tags gray clutch (carried in my Easter post) $2. This brand is sold at Dillard's for minimum $80. Crazy. I've wanted an updated APA publication manual for a while since they came out with a new version after I left grad school but didn't want to shell out the $20+. Who knew one would show up at a yard sale?? The spiral bound version is going for $32 on Amazon. I think I paid fifty cents.
I am NOT supposed to be buying anything for the booth since I'm actually trying to clean it out in preparation for shutting it down. But I couldn't leave these two crewel pieces behind for $3 each. And I talked to the lady who made them 40 years ago. I love that!

Have you read Holes? It is a masterpiece imo. My son got a copy for his birthday and I was so taken with it that (along with a former colleague) I wrote an essay about it.
