ONE MAN'S TRASH . . .

The Meadow's Community Garage Sales
June 7-8

 

Every year, the "Meadows" housing development (where we live)

has a huge community garage sale and this year the residents

 out-did themselves.  The weather was great and it was a good day to

SHOP FOR BARGAINS!

 

There were more garage sales than I have ever seen in the

10 years we have lived here!

 

 

I found great treasures and was only out for a few hours.

Imagine the stuff I could have found had I stayed out a few more ...

 

Here were my partners in crime ....

Jacob and his friend Alana

(Of course the only picture I got, his eyes are closed!)

 

 

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF MY GREAT FINDS!

 

Graco Pack n Play for $15.00 (like brand new)

 

"Born" sandals for "$1.00

Screamin' deal ... hardly worn and

MY SIZE!

 

 

• Then there was one of my favorite books, when I was a child - $.025
• A beautiful vase for my beautiful flowers - $.025
• A Pottery Barn woven beach bag for our trip to California - free from a neighbor!

 

 

A really cute Super-Hero Cape that somebody

hand-made ... I couldn't pass it up!

 

Batman on One Side / Superman on the Other

$1.00

 

• A doll-sized high chair - $3.00
• An "Elmo" that you can put different hand, feet, noses on - $2.00
• A checker game for the tent-trailer - $2.00

 

Jacob bought a couple of things ...

Didn't get a picture of some of the items!

 

There was a bake sale at one of the houses and he bought:

1 Big Cinnamon Roll

A Carmel Nut Pastry

1 Small Loaf of Sour Dough Bread

all eaten before I could get a picture!

 

He did buy 5 DVDs - $1.00

and a "little" turtle for Mabel - $.025

 

 

One final picture is of a very special

Nativity Set that a woman bought in Mexico.

(Jessica already said she wants it!)

 

 

A fun day ... and very profitable!
