Garage sales scores!

Today my friend Roxy and I went garage saling. We both love to go but neither of us want to go alone! She of course has her 3 gorgeous little girls to go with but it is also nice to have an adult along chat with and exclaim over scores!

Today we found many awesome deals.

I found a table top full of great things, fabric, books, magazines, toys.




I have taken a few pictures of my very favorite finds.




I love Fisher Price Little People toys. I saw this one at a church sale. It is perfect because it is little people, but they do not come out of the bus!



This is a crocheted pink Barbie dress. I collect Barbie when I see them cheap. I have at least a dozen neekid Barbies. Now one of them has a pretty pink dress!




This Santa is in perfect condition. I love his face!


There were 2 items I did not get and I wish I had. One was a Hello Kitty tea set. It was $5 and since it was the first sale we went to, I did not want to splurge that big on 1 item.

The other item was a book of Peanuts cartoons. A reprint of vintage ones. It was $3 but again as a first stop I was unwilling to drop a full $3 on 1 item. I now wish I had found some one to negotiate with and bought both of these items.


The best Item I got of the day was this:



Miss Suzy, now reprinted and available again on Amazon, is a book I have searched for for years. The last time I saw it on ABE it was going for $80. Now there is an exact reprint celebrating the 40th anniversary of Miss Suzy.

I am very happy to see this adorable book available again for a new generation of children!

So what have you found lately?

  1. Oh how I wish I had more time for going to garage sales. I used to do it all the time and I really miss it. Love the Barbie dress and the book! It's those kinds of finds that make garage sales worth it!

    One of my favorite finds was a set of measuring cups for a nickel. I have used them constantly over the years and I still wonder why the person selling them didn't want them any more.
