Garage Sale Finds

I really went a little overboard this past weekend at local garage sales! In fact, I bought so much, that I hate to put it all in one post and bore you all to death. So, I'll just hit the high spots! It all started Friday morning when I got up early to pick up Cooper. Usually we go to the mall and walk right after I pick him up, but on Friday we didn't walk. On the way back to the house, I spotted this sale with a bicycle. My son recently had his really expensive bicycle stolen in New Orleans. I was thrilled to find this Trek Mountain Bike 820 for $25! It is in great condition except for a little wear and tear on the seat! Now if this one gets stolen, it won't be such a big loss! Then the next morning, my sister and I took my mom out to the sales. She had knee surgery yesterday and last Sat. will be the last time she gets to go for awhile. I found this little porcelain box with three monkeys for 50 cents! There is an $18.00 price sticker on the bottom. For now, it is on the piano...don't know what I'll end up doing with it!I'm always looking for stuff to use on my porch. This little yellow bucket was 50 cents, and filled a bare spot on a shelf. This bowl with some 'permanent' fruit was $3.00. I may spray the wire bowl black..not sure yet. And finally I got this bird cage with the 'permanent' greenery for $4.00...another find for the porch! I will probably spray paint it either white or green like the wicker. I bought lots of other little things, and didn't spend much...less that $40.00 including the bike! It was fun, but the best part was spending time with mama and my sister! We all ate breakfast together, and browsed the Hope Village Thrift Shop for bargains before heading home. Have a great day!
