Yard Sale Finds

I've been doing some catching up with an old friend and reading her blog. She inspired me to finally do this post I have been planning for some time now. As previously discussed, I'm cheap. One of mine and Kent's favorite summer hobbies is going to yard sales. I get up at insanely early hours and get to as many as possible before we know all of the good stuff will be gone. Below are a few good deals we have gotten. I haven't been able to get a picture of the tent we got because we never got to go camping last year, but it's a really nice tent.

Two Owen Mortensen leaf pictures sort of like these.

I wasn't smart enough to take a picture of this Christmas Village when I had it up for Christmas but trust me, it was very pretty. It did have a few defects though, the adapter for the church didn't work and after it was plugged in to another adapter the bulb went out. But it's still very pretty and much bigger than it looks in the picture.


I only payed $3 for this Christmas train. I think I overpaid. It was cute and all but didn't run for long (like maybe once around the track) before the batteries wore out.

I got this mirror.....

And this table for $20! They are a matching set and the people had never even taken the mirror out of the box. It looks much cuter where I have it now than when I took this picture and it had our TV on it.

We got this lamp at the same yard sale as the table and mirror. It matches and was only $5!

I can't remember how much I paid for this cute little table but the inlay matches our bar stools and pub table.

I got these cute curtains for 5 smackeroos.

One of my proudest yard sale finds. My parents actually found the chairs for us at a yard sale in their town. They are in perfect condition. They also bought a farm table to go with it but the table was a little too small for us. One day we found this one at a yard sale for $30 and it matched perfectly! It even has a leaf and we have two more chairs in the basement so we can have lots of people over for dinner, if we ever got around to doing that.

Thanks for indulging my cheap side once again.

Angie, thanks for the blog topics. I am totally going to use those someday.
