Several years ago when I owned Room With a Past, I went to garage sales EVERY weekend to scout for items to make-over for the shop. After getting up early every weekend (usually both days) for almost 3 years, I had garage sale burnout. But now, enough time has passed and I’ve been jonesing for a fix (of the screaming deal variety). Last Saturday was the day! I spent a grand total of $14, bought loads of goodies and had a great time.
All my goodies
3-Old spools for a project I’m working on
4-Graph paper – two different kinds 5-Hand warmer for the LOML when he goes camping 6-Rotary cutter with extra wavy blade (been wanting one of these for years) 7-Magnetic clips -plan to decorate/cute up somehow and use on the magnet boards in my studio
8-Lego soccer kit with all the cute mini figures for Little Cat B 9-Pyrex little mixing bowl in white and aqua – I bought the cousin to this a few years ago in dish form
10-Ocean themed stickers from Cavallini 11-Postage meter labels
Labels I adore from Cavallini Papers
There must be 1,000 postage meter labels. These will come in handy for gift tags, name tags, file folders, and labeling all sorts of stuff, plus they will be fun to decorate with stamps and gel pens etc.
I’m going to use the graph paper for gift wrapping.
The Ocean themed stickers from Cavallini are to die for!
I am the exact same way! DH (darling husband) and I just purchased our first home. This has turned me to Fabulously Frugal, trying to furnish our lives one G-sale at a time.
If only I didn’t work Friday mornings – I fear the early Friday bird gets the worm
Besos!
