Recent G-sale buys

Garage saling has recently become my favorite past-time (not that I didn't enjoy it before).  I love the thrill behind the hunt...especially when the hunting goes well like it has the past couple of trips.  It's so different now that I have a whole plethora of items to hunt for.  If any of you out there reading this are in the process of furnishing a house, I have the perfect solution for you - go to garage sales!  You just never know what you  will find!

Just thought I would share a few of my recent bargains...

a pair of cute rain boots that I've always wanted...and red flats
(not really something to furnish a house, but fun none-the-less!) ;)

some fun old books for my library someday...

50 cent ties that match the color of my dress perfectly!!! Possible wedding ties?!? (like I said...you never know what you will find...who knows maybe I will find enough for all the groomsmen!)

Cake/cupcake/deviled egg carrier...

Cute little toy box to store toys for all our little nieces and nephews!

and of course some toys to fill it with...

a cheap upright dresser that I'm going to turn cute...someday...

A bread maker that had only been used a couple times...Guess I'll be learning how to make bread!

a cute lil night stand that I'm sure I'll find a place for

a table w/ 4 chairs for only $50
 (After some research, we found the exact table and chairs at a furniture store for $350 but only with 2 chairs....now don't tell me we didn't get a steal!) ;)

And my favorite find of all...a lazy-boy brand sofa that looks like new!
It was sitting by itself in someone's driveway as we were out g-saling, with a for sale sign on it...

Oh...and one tip to always remember....there is always enough room! :)

A view from the front...notice how the bucket seat is leaning forward...Kirk had to squeeze through there to get in and out the rest of the day...and he only had a small portion of the other seat to sit on...thanks for being a good sport, Kirk! ;)

And I have many other little items that I have found to fill my cupboards and walls...It's been a lot of fun and I can't wait to see what else I might discover :)  Next trip is already planned for this Friday!

In other news...life has been going pretty well.  Planning is coming along...fabric is bought for the dresses...showers are already starting this Saturday...and life is just plain busy! But I'm thankful for all that God has been providing for us. Blessings!
