{If you read my last post, yes, I am actually in New York today! I typed this last night. :) }
As I mentioned on Friday, I went to a local church’s rummage sale on Saturday. They hand you a brown paper bag and you can fill it up for $1. Here’s what I scored:
- 2 toys for Luke
- Martha Stewart Living Fall 2008 magazine (for inspiration)
- Cream fall plate w/acorn detail (I am
a little bitobsessed with the fall season) - 6th Season of the Waltons (oh yeah baby – takes me back!)
- Solas cd (DH was in a Celtic folk band in college and we love this music)
- Soap dispenser (not sure if I’m actually keeping it yet)
- Cheese grater
- Gravy separator (been looking for one of these bad boys!)
- Big apothecary jar (yay!)
- 2 mini Christmas trees (can never have too many of these!)
- Red ornaments for filler – ditto above
- Red hanging thing for Luke’s closet
- Bunch of closet organizers (8 total) – not exactly sure how these work but I have a total bin/basket fetish. It’s a really good thing The Container Store is nowhere near here!
- Green round tablecloth for Christmas
- Mini laundry basket (again on the organization!)
- Some awesome fabric from Waverly with French writing all over it – hopefully it doesn’t say anything scandalous? lol The only thing I recognize is the word “le jardin” - if you can read the other words, would you let me know what it says? :)
Of course I got some clothes! :) (Starred clothes will be sold at the shops; the rest are all for me!)
- Black Ralph Lauren shirt
- Old Navy sweatshirt/sweater thing*
- Old Navy winter capri/loungers w/tag still on*
- Work shorts for the hubs
- White Gap dress*
- White and cream Old Navy maxi (I am really disappointed this didn’t fit!)*
- Striped Old Navy tank
- Forever 21 beaded tank
- Brown Old navy shirt/Teal Old Navy shirt (winter sleep shirts)
- 2-piece skirt suit for my MIL (not pictured b/c I already gave it to her)
So…….I got 35 items, for the grand total of THREE DOLLARS. That equals about 8 cents per item, baby!
My favorites are the Waverly fabric, the RL shirt, the fall dish, and the apothecary jar. Totally would have paid 3 bucks to get these four things at a yard sale!
I already can’t wait til this church runs their sale again in October! hahaha

ReplyDeleteWow! Awesome finds. I seriously hate having Saturday morning class, I cannot wait to get done so I can check out some sales. You are making me totally jealous.
ReplyDeleteit's just about a wildlife garden (le feuillage dans le jardin sauvage). hard to read some of the words. that handwriting makes my eyes hurt! beautiful fabric--would be beautiful for something summery!
