I spent all of three dollars out yard sale-ing and thrifting with my friend Kelli and her daughter Lucy - it was rainy and humid but that didn't stop us from finding some deals.
First I spied this plate that is a match for the ones I have that were aunt toots's - it was $0.50 and even though they only had one I bought it - it's churchill dinnerware and seems to be pretty durable and it's pink - so now I have 4 matching plates.
Then while at the thrift store I saw these boxes of A2 envelopes and while I don't really have a need for 1000 envelopes at $0.50/box I couldn't resist getting all 4 - mom do you need any envelopes? The white is more of a cream now but they still stick.
And now for my silliest purchase of the day...
yup I bought this old school desk for $.50 too it was supposed to be $8 but since it was green day and had a green sticker at the salvation army thrift store it was actually $.48. Before jono even reminds me we don't have anyone to sit in it - it was so cheap, in good shape, and adorable - so I didn't care. So until there are any little joneses it will just hang out lonely in my extra bedroom.
Kelli found some clothes and toys for lucy and i think she spent less than $10 - so it was all around good.
I can definitely use envelopes for card swaps!!
ReplyDeleteLove that plate and little desk.
I'll send you some when I get back from Boston this week. I've got more than enough.
ReplyDeleteWow! You rock!!
ReplyDeleteyay!! great finds!! love the desk :) what to come to ohio one morning and come saling with me?!?!
ReplyDeleteI stopped in the house yesterday to get some clothes and saw this and wondered where the hell it came from! I knew I could find the answer on here. =)
ReplyDeleteThe plate is so cool! I used to have a desk like that when I was little. I did homeschooling for a bit, and it was fun "playing school," but then I still had to take tests and such, so it wasn't as fun any more. :)
ReplyDeleteI am still wondering what you are going to do with that desk, but I have to admit 50 cents is a bargain. - Kelli
