Hound dog
Nana's are Beautiful
Ok.....can't find the original thread. Been yard saling all day and am exhausted.
I can't remember if this was supposed to be an ongoing thread.........or what??
But I did snatch some good deals for xmas this week.
Nichole's walmart was selling doll outfit kits reg 9.99 for 2.00. She discovered them when she went to pick up material to sew Aubrey some curtains. I had her pick up 4 kits (they include everything you need) This will be for kayla, either she can sew them or I will........I'll have to wait and see what the skill level is for the kits.
I have picked out Alex's gift. I have a pattern (free) for a spiderman afgan I'll make for him and I may be able to do it with scrap yarn too.
Today at a yard sale I found Aubrey a Melissa & Doug's "paper" (it's all wood) doll set new for 5.00 when they run anywhere from 20-30 bucks here. She loves these things. So does kayla but she's outgrowing them.
I found Brandon an old style Fisher Price farm set.......no animals but I think I can find some animals to fill it fairly easily. It's in beautiful shape and even still has the silo!
Other finds that aren't xmas related:
husband a recliner in really good shape for 10.00. Now he can stop ruining mother in law's loveseats.
3 cases of canning jars (large size) for 1.50 per case
Duffle bag for .50 cents
more canning jars for .50 cents
heavy duty snow boots for darrin .50 cents (look brand new)
Nike winter coat for darrin excellent condition 2.00
Madeline halloween costume for Aubrey 1.00
Canning cook book huge that was 30.00 and marked down to 12.00 at the farm store
huge bag of nerf bullets for darrin and brandons nerf guns 1.00
tommy helflinger (no clue how to spell that name lol) book bag looks new .50
new heavy down winter coat for husband 3.00
This is the first real day of yard sales I've been able to do all summer. Bums me out. But at least I was able to get lots of one of the things I was looking for........canning jars. Now I still need to find those old fashion crank mixers, a cast iron dutch oven........lol
Not too bad though, considering 3 sales we went to the stuff was so outrageously over priced I nearly fainted. One lady was selling a large storage jug that will hold liquid or whatever for 5.00 when I can pick up the exact same thing new at the dollar store or even walmart for less than that and I told her so! geez
