The Last of My Wonderful Buys From Neighbors Garage Sale

Well, I finally got pictures of the last stuff I bought and got free from my neighbor! 
All these purses cost me $2.75 and all were new! Why so many you say?  Well, I really enjoy purses and when you can get them for such a cheap price then why not.  Besides I have two girls who just might want one of them.  SO girls if you want one better lay claim now.  They just might end up wrapped as your Christmas present. Hehe!! But be forewarned the elephant purse and the cream purse are mine!


Then I got these lovelies also!


This was for my Mom since she has a little scenery of a pond and people fishing. Cost $.25


This is an old fashioned rolling pin.  The kind where you put cold water in it and start rolling out your pie crusts, etc.  If somebody knows it's something else let me know.  Cost $.10


Remember I said I enjoy anything green?  Well, I got this aladdin lamp for $.25.


I thought these were really neat bookends.  I call them my "Spirit filled, devil busting, warrior praying, Bible believing priests" Cost $.50
Plug for a book you might like! Check out "The Begotten A novel of the gifted" by Lisa Bergren. It's a series of 3 books. Check one out and read it you might find them interesting and enjoyable.  I did.

This was a makeup case I thought would make a neat jewelry case. Well at least until I get a real one!  Cost:  FREE!!

Plus I bought 5 new short sleeved shirts for only $1.00 each.

What a haul!!!

More Goodies From Neighbors Garage Sale

My Mom happened to stop by to see if I wanted one of Burger Kings $1.00 burgers. Aw what an awesome Mom I have.  Anyhoo we both went to the neighbors sale across the street.  This is what my awesome Mom bought me.

I thought this was just too cute.  It will make a great fruit holder on my cabinet!

I loved this! It's a microwaveabe four cup measuring bowl. Each blue line is a cup.Goes up to four cups! Great for when I make brownies or a cake or whatever I'm baking at the time. Cost $.50.

Mom didn't buy me this!! I did!  I had a whole $.65 and got this for a dime.  I'm thinking this will be great for orange juice.  I also got an under bed holder for $.50.
This neat little lamp was only $1.00 .  There had been a set but by the time Mom and I got over there someone had bought one of them.  That's o.k.  all I really needed was one.  Think I'm putting this in my bedroom and taking the one I have and putting it into my guest/study room on an endtable/nightstand my neighbor gave me.

There were 12 candles in the box! Cost $.25! You can never have too many candles.  Hopefully I can find a candlabra (need spell check to see if this is correctly spelled LOL) to use some of these in.

And last but not least these beautiful glass coasters.  You can't really tell from the photo but there are 4 little fleur-de-lis surrounding the center design. These I will set next to the plates when I invite people over to eat.  They were $.10 each or $.50 for the set of five.

Aw what a haul!  I just love bargains!

Awesome Garage Sale Finds! 8/18/2010

My neighbor across the street from me was setting up for her garage sale tomorrow.  A friend of theirs moved to Arizona so they gave them a bunch of stuff they could sale.  My other neighbor Carol who was helping Courtney setup came over and borrowed three tables I had.  They also used my handy dandy rack I had gotten at Goody's when they were going out of business for $5.00. Nearly everything in her sale was $1.00 or less. She did have quite a few over but the big majority was 1.00 and under. Plus we swapped my garage sale signs for some of her goodies she was putting out for the sale. 

Isn't this a beautiful little dish.  It's now sitting in my living room waiting to have candy put in it.  Green is my favorite color so when I saw this beauty I just had to have it!
This was also in the exchange.  When I first saw it I thought it would be a great planter, but I am holding off on it to see if I can think of some other use for it.



This was also in the exchange.  I needed it to finish out under my kitchen sink. I had some white liner but run out so was really excited when I got this. Sure it won't match, but who cares!  It's a place 99.9999% of the people who come to my house won't see and for those who do it will be no big deal to them!! OR ME!!



These were freebies!! One of my favorite things.  She gave me two bottles of the lotion and a pump for it!  As for the billfolds the one on bottom I got three of them. She thought my girls might want one of the bottom billfolds so that's why I have three!!

But then when I went to my Mom's to wash one day (awe it's terrible when your washer is broke and you have to leave home to wash especially when it feels like you're in hell when you go outside--awwww Oklahoma summers!) we went to a garage sale close to her house. I got these two awesome items.

I love the green jars.  They were only $2.00 for the set and the silverware holder, well that's what I made it into, was only $.50. 

Now wouldn't you say these were awesome deals!  Love when I find good deals like these.
