We have a great corp of Salvation Army volunteers in our community. And they have GREAT garage sales. LOL
Every year, they do a spring and fall garage sale with all the donated items they receive. Then a few years ago they started doing a Christmas garage sale because people were donating so many Christmas items. You can get everything there. They have trees of all shapes and sizes, lights, decorations, furniture, dishware, yard art, and everything else.
This year I waited until the very last second to go. My DH and I went at about 2pm on Saturday - they closed at 3pm. So there wasn't a whole lot left. sigh.
I should have gone on Friday. A friend of mine did and showed me all her treasures and she really cleaned up.
But, I'm still happy with the $3 that I did spend. Here are my treasures:
A Santa candy dish - you take the candy from his bum!
I thought it was really cute.
And a set of salt and pepper shakers with poinsettas on top. Kind of plain but I like them.
Twice each year, our local Salvation Army has a huge garage sale. Sometimes they also have a big antique sale and/or a Christmas Decorations sale, depending on their donations. So do you want to see what I scored this past weekend at the Spring sale???? Do ya???
Ta DA!!!What is all that great stuff, you ask? Well, I got some really cool fabric, some embroidery floss, a book, two small embroidery hoops ( I didn't have any this small), lots of different colors of felt, a big, brand new sack of polyfill (for only $0.25) and I can't remember what else. It was so exciting. I spent $9.50. Yay!What will I make with all this stuff? I don't have a clue. But I'll bet it will be something good.
