This weekend was NOT my week for Yard Sales. The Handsome Hubby was out of town so that left me Yard Selling with three (very adorable) kids. Friday I hit a couple and actually got a few things like some AWESOME GOLD BOOTS, and some old books. I am a sucker for old books! Saturday I lasted all of 45 min and we didn't even leave until close to 9. :( I personally only spent .50 cents that day, but Mister C my 6 year old found a Boogie Board that he'd had me on the look out for at every Yard Sale for weeks. He's cute! So SCORE for him. He also found a really cool toy Police Helmet that talks and such. He loves it. He Spent a total of $4.14 on his finds. I've taught him well. ;)
The GOLD boots! They are so great and are going to complete some very awesome Halloween Costumes. Hooray!!!
Mister C with his finds...
Miss j also wanted a picture taken of her. Her fairy costume just so happens to be a Yard Sale find from a couple of weeks ago...50 cents!
My favorite find of the weekend was this Children's Book that I paid .25 cents for. I fell in love with the gorgeous illustrations. I love the old vintage look, the colors, and how it makes me wish for lazy days...days that are slower. You know what I mean? I kinda want to frame the pictures and do a nursery around them or something. Here is a little peek...
Like I said before, I'm a sucker for old books. I bought these three at a Yard Sale on Friday and they went straight to Mister E's room.
Although it wasn't a super fantastic weekend and was largely cut short for me. I know some of you did find some AMAZING stuff. Like my neighbor got a weed eater ($7), and seed spreader ($5) that are both in really great condition and look practically new. My other good friend got two boxes full of really, really cute, name-brand clothes for her boys, and a really great vintage baby cradle...just to name a few. I also was able to bum a super cute, vintage, mustard yellow tablecloth off her. ;) (THANKS APE!!!!) Just realized I don't have a picture of it though. That will have to come in a later post.

I think you did great! More is not always better. I think framing those illustrations is a brilliant idea. It's so cute that you've got C looking out for treasures too. you amaze me! Addie
