What An Awesome Week !

Wow, what a great week all together ! 
Where to begin ???

My husband rented a space at the local Flea market .
It is something he's wanted to do for a long time.

Packed the SUV !

Pic. of the flea market.

Of course the picture of his "space" didnt turn out.

Oh well, but you can see how stuffed his SUV was !

It was $12 to rent the space and he made almost $200.

Not to shabby ;)

He also sold a bike he had for what he paid for...its been

sitting in the garage , so happy to break even !

....and he also sold some wood for $40 .

I hit many garage sales here are just a few of the highlights:

 Bowling ball $1

mailbox .75

costume $1.75

These items were purchased at a local church sale. I bought the

mailbox for .75 ! I was telling the cashier I thought the price on

that was awesome. She said it was donated by another local

church. Turns out this was at the church that my daughter

went to for preschool. She is now 8 and remembers it .  



 Pyrex $2

All items FREE !!!!

It was the last day of a tag sale and I must of went at a good time !

Anything left was FREE!!!! Can you believe it. I found Addidas

pants for  my son ,  6 shirts for my daughter, a ScoobyDoo book

bag, a sticker maker and 5 belts!  I plan on making something with

the belts so I was happy to get them FREE ! I love the colors too.

Now Looky !!!!!!

and here.....

shoes and more shoes

can"t have too many clothes

Can you believe this !! I have heard of people finding American girl

dolls and have been sooooo jeolous . I  spotted the dolls at a garage

sale and asked if they were for sale ( I knew they were AG).  Yes,

they were and for $3 a piece ! Holy Cow !!! Then the owner said, 

" I'll give you this whole tub for $15." I asked how much for

everything (dolls plus tub) and he said $25 !!!!!!!!!!   OMG !!!!  I

was in shock ! I glanced at the tub and at that point  I wasn't too

impressed . There were odds and ends in there too so I thought

maybe 25% would be AG doll stuff . I couldn't wait to get home !

Wow, was I surprised when,  aside from a couple things , the tub

was all AG stuff !!!  My daughter is a lucky girl right now ;)

Some of the things I got :

2 AG dolls

1 Bitty baby

1 Bitty bear

Coconut (dog)

Licorice (cat)

2 stands

30+ outfits

22+ shoes

pet accessories

Bitsy bear acessories

Snowboard and accessories

and so much more !!!

It took forever for us to go through the tub and look at every

single tag . Then we orginized the outfits according to how we

thought they would go. Then I told my daughter she could pick

out what ever she wanted . What fun she had ! I am most

likely selling the other items on ebay. I let her keep 2 of the

dolls and I will sell one. Its not in the best shape but I heard they

still sell. I have at least 22 outfits to sell as well. We are both happy!!!
