Yard Sale Find

I haven't been yard sale shopping lately just haven't felt the urge but last weekend I decided to stop at one sale down the road from me this is all I bought



I didn't need a microwave cart but for $10 I could really use a rolling storage cart for all my miniature landscaping supplies. I'm still working on getting it organized but here is what it looks like full of stuff..



Sam had to check it out too.

yard sales

There were a lot of local yard sales this weekend be cause we had our Annual Homespun Festival down town. Arts and Craft show with lots of food and fun. I didn't attend the festival because I don't do well in crowds. I decided to stage all of my finds together in one photo rather than each sales find. I've got a mirror and a small table in my car still so I'll have to photograph them some other time.

Front and center is the collapsible shoe storage and bench $2 (nut came unglued from the bottom rods) easy fix

$1 for both the wire mesh containers. .50 cents for the square basket. .25 cents each for the zipper bags. $3 for the hand painted wooden containers. $3 for the tray table. .50 cents for the hand carved wooden box. $1 silver ship container. $2 Wellington Pin. $1 black & white tree photo. $1 swede round container. .50 cent black window container. $5 Craftsman Dust buster. $1 silver clock ($50 price tag on back)

Yard Sale Saturday

Saturday started off overcast with a comfortable breeze so I thought I would get out and see what junk I could buy..
Found a group yard sale in a parking lot near my work. One lady was a beekeeper selling honey. I ended up talking to her for a long time about beekeeping. I told her I wanted to learn how to do beekeeping. She told me she would teach me everything I needed to know and help me get started. Of course I bought a jar of honey too.
I bought these jars for $1 each. I already have them full of odds and ends.

I got each of these jars for .50 cents

This cute change purse was .50 and the Brighton bag was free.

I got these good sized nesting boxes for $5

I followed the signs to a benefit sale a couple of blocks away.
I got these cool metal boxes for .50 cents each.

Dog bowls .50 cents each. $4 for all the GI Joe accessories. (the guns are so detailed)

I also bought a bunch of baked goods.

Yard Sales and Fireworks

Saturday was the annual Aragon Bar-B-Que in the neighboring town so I knew there would be yard sales close to it. It's a big deal around here. Aragon is a tiny little town without any redlights but people were coming out of the woodwork for this thing. Its a little festival with a few kiddie rides and games and lots of good food. They usually have a couple local bands play music and the adult league softball teams play games all day long. At 10pm they have a firework show.
(I love the fireworks setting on my camera)



I only found one yard sale in Rockmart and picked up a couple things.
Got these bracelet parts for .50 cents.

This craft book was $2

I headed to Aragon to look for more sales. A local church was having an indoor sale.
I got this used chopper for $1... I've needed one for my fimo for a while.

I got this brandnew leather wallet and jewelry for $2

There was another sale around the corner but all I got there was two new Plano boxes for $5.

Yard Sales

Friday during lunch I stopped by an estate sale that I had been to last month. They had uncovered more stuff so they were selling again.
These watches were $1 each


Gloves were 75 cents


These items were 50 cents each


These necklaces were just 25 cents each


Saturday morning I decided to just hit the local sales. When I walked out the door just after 8am it was nearly 90 degrees and muggy. I knew I wouldn't last long out in the heat so I decide to do drive by shopping. There were two sales just a block away from our house and they seemed to only have kids stuff so I didn't bother getting out of the car. I had seen one on Craigslist that said they had crafts so I headed towards it. When I got to the sale I discovered that it was the same yard sale I've been to 3 other times. Her yard is nicely shaded so the heat wasn't so bad.
She had put out a lot more stuff than the other few times I'd been there. Tons of craft stuff and selling it cheap.

$2.50 for everything.

Yard Sale Finds

This weekend my friend Tonya and I hit a few of the local yard sales and an estate sale. The estate sale was crazy that lady must have bought every holiday decoration she could find and then left them in the package. There were dozens of boxes of holiday decor. Tonya bought an entire box full of pots and pans for $10. There was a really nice set Betty Crocker cookware and another full set. Plus muffin pans and a pasta pot with strainer lid.
I was looking for smaller stuff... like jewelry... I only spent $2 at the estate sale and this is what I brought home.
7 new watch bands. (I'm not sure why I bought them) all but one is 10kt gold.

and a box of random jewelry. The bracelet is 24kt gold.

Found another sale across town and bought these three red hat society bracelets for .20 cents each.

We went to one sale out in the country that smelled horrible. The cow poop fertilizer on the lawn made my eyes water. I picked up a new in package green wire picnic set for $2 but I forgot to take a picture.
I found a bunch of jewelry for $1 each at the smelly sale. The necklace on the bottom right hand side still has a price tag for $18. Notice the little kitty paws at the top left hand corner of the picture, she was being so helpful.


Delilah loved her bling. Chloe seems to be jealous.

Chloe decided that they weren't her style.

Sam wasn't interested in any of the yard sale finds.

Yard Sales

Apparently the steroid shot I got on Friday was still kicking my butt on Saturday. I couldn't get cooled off. I probably should have stayed out of the sun completely.

This weekend I decided to keep it close to home for yard sales. The church down the street from my house was having a indoor yard sale so I started off my morning there. I didn't find anything that I had to have. I heard about a community yard sale across town and decided to check it out. Almost every other house in this subdivision was having a yard sale but nobody had priced anything. (big yard sale pet peeve) These were the most crowded yard sales ever. There wasn't any shade in the whole neighborhood. Back to my car air on high driving on to the next sale. Mostly old kids toys and nick-knacks being sold. I did find two wooden tray tables for $5. I also found a black 6' bookshelf new in the box for $10. I ended up leaving that subdivision before stopping at all the sales, I just couldn't take the heat.
I drove back towards where I work and knew there were at least two sales in the shade. I found a plastic case for .25 cents and a box of domino's for $2. I called it a day before noon.

Yard sale finds continued

After shopping all the local yard sales I decide to drive to Dallas. There is house on the way to Dallas that has a yard sale every weekend because they are on the main highway. I picked up a lot of stuff from that sale. But this cute little locket was the best.


I got all the beads

and all this jewelry

I went to a sale from Craigslist and found these cute Dutch paper mobiles and cards. I would have searched for more but it was too hot standing in sun in the driveway.

I went to Goodwill and found a couple of cute necklaces but I couldn't force myself to pay $4 each for them since I planned on taking them apart. I ended up leaving there empty handed. I stopped by another thrift store and didn't find anything there either. My last stop was A Twist of Life Thrift store.. I found this cute necklace that is heavy as lead.. (I think the beads are made of lead)

I headed home after that and took a nap. My brother called and woke me up about 8pm to tell me that he and his wife were at my parents. I ended up going over there until about 2:30 am playing the card game Quiddler. We had a blast.

Yard Sale finds

There were a bunch of yard sale within a mile of my house this past Saturday. It was a perfect day for junkin with nice cool breeze. The first yard sale I hit had a bunch of jewelry for sale but no prices so I picked out everything I wanted and asked how much she wanted for it. $3 for all of this...

There was a yard sale across the street from this one but I didn't go to it.
I drove to another sale across town that I'd seen on Craigslist but apparently they didn't have the sale. On my way back into town I saw another sign and decided to stop. I only picked up this cute puzzle there for .50 cents.

I stopped at a few more sales but didn't find anything worth buying at those. I found an estate/yard sale two streets over from my house. I hit the jackpot on jewelry and watches at this one. I only spent $7 for everything I got here.
$2 for all of these..

.25 cents each for these..

.50 cents for each of these..



.50 cents for each bag of watches..


.50 cents for this working antique ladies pocket watch. According to the serial number it was made in 1896. American Waltham

I ended up with 12 watches from this one sale. I love old watches. Something about all the gears. If they don't run they get disassembled for parts for steam punk stuff..
More pictures tomorrow of my Dallas area finds.

Yard Sale finds

Saturday started off really cloudy with a chance of rain. I was determined to go to at least a few yard sales before the rain came. I headed towards Cedartown to Church Rummage Sale. I didn't get pictures of everything because I'm storing a cute doll house shaped book shelf at a friends house until I get it fixed up. I bought it for $3.
I got this bead kit for $2.

I got both of these for .25 cents each.

I searched Craigslist for local yard sales and borrowed my boyfriends GPS to navigate to them. My first stop was way back on this country road covered in potholes. It started to mist a little so they were moving things to their porch when I pulled up. I spotted a cute drawing table and stool for $15. I was trying to see if it would raise up and they told me I could have it for $10 and they would load it in my car. It looks brand new they said their daughter just used it to stack stuff on. They also included a little roll of paper.

After I left there I went to another sale on the same road. This was all I found for $1.

I stopped at a couple more sales on the back roads and left empty handed from one and only spent .25 cents at the other.

I headed to Hiram for an Estate/Yard Sale not expecting to find anything good. Everything is usually over priced at estate sales but I found some great buys.
The yard sale part was a bit lacking but the estate sale was very organized. The only thing I found out there were these 6glass syringes for $1.

The glassed in porch was full of plastic containers. Rubbermaid drawers, shoe boxes, etc... I resisted the urge to get any of them. I found this little craft container full of floss and ribbon for $2.50.

Then I went out to the living room to fight the masses over the jewelry. I found these two bracelets for $2 and necklace for $2.

These were $1 each

These were .50 cents each. I plan on taking them all apart for the beads.

I had my eye on a few other things but ladies were snatching things up as fast as possible.
There was another Church yard sale in Hiram and I found this cool unused roll-up tool box for $3 that I'm going to store beads in. The dividers were still wrapped in plastic.


I bought these pieces of jewelry and bookmark just for the beads for $1.50.

I ran in to Michaels for some memory wire. And then next door to Petsmart for meal worms and crickets. I didn't even stop at Goodwill store. I was headed back towards home when I decided to stop off at the Twist of Life thrift store. I picked up this necklace, bracelet and ear rings set for $1.82 and the other bracelet for .52 cents.

I'm going to try to make some bracelets out of all the beads I have. I'll keep yall posted on my progress.
