All by my self...



Yesterday I went yard saling all by myself. I rarely do that but Beloved had to work, my friend was busy and there was a sale I really wanted to go to!

I found the big church sale I wanted to go to and did great. I found some stuff for a friend, some music collections and 2 suitcases, perfect for the doll clothes I have in HEB bags!




On my way to do groceries I stopped at another one and scored 2 Animated Snoopys plus several beanie babies.

Then when Beloved got off work we went to a local thrift store that was having an awesome sale.

Though I did get a bit aggravated. They had toys for .25c. I figured I would dig through the bins and find some dolls to work on redoing. I found 5 dolls... However it turns out they do not consider dolls toys. Dolls were $1 each. Of course the checker did not tell me that. There was a huge line behind me so I paid and went out to figure out what happened. Then I went back in and got a refund. Seriously I would not have paid more than .50c for any of them, they were in disrepair and had things like ink all over their faces and so on.

I did score some nice children's books though at 3 for $1. Thankfully they did not misrepresent those. I have heard before complaints about this store. They will post an ad, all books for .xx but when you check out they will say, oh those books are not the sale ones... I just went for some .25c toys and I got a few beanies and some fuzzy sort of thing that had Ann Geddes name on it...



Some of my favorite finds:


Snoopy! I LOVE Peanuts and especially Snoopy!




The calendars also have cross stitch patterns in them!




Mint mini beanies!




The suit cases!




I did have fun and I needed the outing. I will miss yard slae season when it is over!

hugs y'all!

  1. It sounds like you did rather well at the sale all by yourself, Mel! You found some adorable items ~ my favorite being those suitcases! Of course, a certain kitty is purr-fectly happy perched on top of them. Heehee!

    Hugs and love to you, as always!

  2. Okay, I am amazed at your finds once again! I don't know how you do it. I can never find much it seems. I also LOVE Snoopy. Love him!

  3. I like how the cat has immediately decided to sit on the new suitcases :-)
