Early Friday morning I woke up around four a.m. and couldn’t fall back to sleep, so I checked online for yard sales. To my surprise there was a church one not far from home starting at six a.m. I’m an early bird so I jumped out of bed and got my day started early, so I could be there when they opened.
Here are some treasures I found…
Like new Silpat mat (paid $1.00, sells for $19.67), like new Blender Bottle (paid $1 sells for $13.99), Pampered Chef ladle (I paid $1.00, sells for $16), an apple peeler (paid $1 sells for $22.99), and the Thirty One box for $1.00. Also included is the set of measuring spoons with a whole in the bottom to use as a funnel when filling spice jars for $1.00.
I also found one pair of Keen hiking shoes. I’ve been thinking for a while now that I would like a pair of boots now that I’m walking so much better and walking over the hilly terrain here. I saw a pair of boots in the yard sale ad, which is why I went, but those boots were too small. And then I spotted these:
Now, I don’t normally buy shoes at yard sales because in my mind none of them will fit me. I’ve mentioned it before, but when I weighed more it seemed like all the clothes and shoes were too small for me, so I never really looked. Now that I’m smaller, I need to be looking!
Saturday morning I looked down at these shoes and thought they look big enough to fit me. So, I took one shoe off (unheard of for me at a yard sale 😂) and tried it on and it fit like a glove. Woo Hoo!
And check this out, they retail for $135.00. Score! An unbelievable deal. I bought them on Friday and wore them to Saturday yard sales and they are really good and supportive shoes.
Recently I wrote that Bailey had won a Hulken Bag. Imagine my surprise when I pulled up to a yard sale on Saturday and saw this one. The lady wanted $40 for it, but I asked if she would take $30, and we settled on $35. This bag retails for $125.
Since Bailey has gotten her bag, we've used it to shop multiple consignment sales and it always comes in handy, so now we will both have one to use as we usually separate when we are at these types of sales.
I also picked up this shelf for $5.00 and hung it where there used to be a vintage telephone that belonged to my parents. We had it in our home in Illinois during the years we were growing up and my sister wanted it, so her husband came to get it last fall. I knew this shelf would work in that spot. It is mounted above our beverage station and Bailey is going to put her drink mixes and other items in here.
That's it for yard sales this week. Were you able to go to any or did yours get rained out? If you did and found anything, we would love to hear about it in the comment section.
