Yard Sale Haul

My mother and I decided to spend a little time visiting some sales Saturday morning. The season is just beginning to get into motion, so we weren't sure how much we'd find. It ended up being very productive for me, though, and I thought I would share my loot!

These books were 20 cents each. I was pleased to find two inspirational, an Amish story and a Fannie Flagg novel. Now I just need time to read them! 😊

I hit the Mason jar jackpot! Here are a few I brought home. Since the quart size, wide-mouth jars are perfect for transporting soup to homebound people, I was interested in the stash I spotted at a sale. Many of them were still packaged in the original box with plastic wrap. The price? All twenty one jars for $1!!!

These paper shreds are perfect for craft and decorative use. The dollar stores sell each color separately for a buck,  so I was happy to find three bags together for a quarter! I will definitely be able to use this.

I love these tiered trays for kitchen use, so I was happy when I saw this in the driveway of the first sale. In perfect condition, I was more than willing to pay  the fifty cents price.
(I know it looks tipped in the photo and I don't know why as it really isn't! Optical illusion?!)

Shopping for stuffed animals and children's winter coats (both of which I collect for charitable uses) are two main motivators for going to sales. I stumbled upon these sweet little fuzzy toys for twenty five cents each. They are all in pristine condition. I usually buy at least 80 each season, so I am off to a start with these eight cuties!

I enjoy using the wallflowers from Bath and Body Works. This  one still has the original packaging and is marked $8.50. As you can see, I paid fifty cents. I will just plug in my favorite scent and enjoy the aroma.

One sale had a stack of brand new patriotic bandanas for a quarter a piece. Since I have been on the lookout for patriotic fabric napkins, I decided this would fit the bill. I got four of them.

These three shirts claim this week's "best bargains". I scooped-up this brand new men's long sleeved Lands'End shirt and these two new  St. Louis Cardinal silky-soft shirts for a dollar each. I know for a fact that the sports shirts sell for around $40 each and I am sure the dress shirt is just above that price point. They washed beautifully and are ready to go!

As you can see, we had a good haul! Since I didn't blog on Memorial Day, my posts are off a day. Tuesday's tablescape will be tomorrow instead! Have a wonderful day!
