Last weekend I went to a yard sale (
or garage sale or
tag sale depending on your locale....here, they are called yard sales) and much to my excitement scored some pretty sweet deals! I don't yard sale often because, quite honestly, getting up super early on a Saturday morning is never a strong suit of mine if it isn't completely and totally necessary and those yard salers are early morning folks!!!
Fortunately I got to take a "pre-sale" preview of this yard sale on Friday night and I think I did pretty good:
2 Price Pfister faucets sets that will work perfectly when we redo the boys bathroom $20.00 for both
1 glass juicer $.25
6 vintage ice cream dishes $1.00
1 barely used (if at all) wireless ergonomic keyboard and mouse (DH picked that out!) $2.00
1 adorable madras patchwork sundress $1.00
1 Oneida Silver Plate tea pot $2.00
1 pair NEW Sperry's $1.00 (YES, $1.00)
Grand Total: $27.25!!!! Ding! Ding! Ding!!!!
I am particularly excited about these vintage ice cream dishes. The glass "bowl" actually comes out of the silver stand for cleaning. I am seeing these being just adorable on my holiday table this year...maybe not holding ice cream but a big Christmas ornament as a place marker! Don't you just love finding unique things for a steal?
You got some amazing deals :). I love the Sperrys, of course, but I also like the ice cream dishes and your idea for them this Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThe dishes and Sperry's are so cute! Great finds!! I wish I could get my fanny out of bed early to shop on Saturdays but I fully admit that I will sleep in as long as the dog will let me. :)
ReplyDeleteKK
You did good!!!
ReplyDeleteThose ice cream dishes are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteFun. Selfishly, I adore this post because one of the characters in my WIP is a "yard saler." You never know - some of these objects might end up in my next book - if I ever finish writing it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those ice cream dishes! What a find!
ReplyDeleteWhat a haul! You done good (:
ReplyDeleteFantastic finds! It is hard for me to get out to yard sales, but I try to frequent Goodwill for some good deals.
ReplyDeleteI really really love the vintage ice cream dishes. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteWow, lady, you really scored some great finds! I adore the little ice cream dishes & would probably never actually use them for ice cream!
