so this post is totally just about me showing off some of the fun stuff i've found in my first few yardsailing weekends of the year:
(roughly clockwise from bottom left)
2 board games: battle of the sexes and 80's scene it, a Monkees album on vinyl, a vase made from an old bottle, 4 lovely throw pillows that now live in the fireplace room, a giant ugly 80's frame that i painted yellow to use as a photobooth prop, a hardcover compilation of 3 Anne of Green Gables books, a set of as seen on tv vegetable containers, a strainer, a set of pretty plates that i will probably end up gifting to my MIL (shh dont tell!), a metal cuff bracelet, a pair of earrings, a little white dish, 4 bottles of clear nail polish, a yellow tupperware container, a brown-ish glass bowl, 6 place mats, a little wooden crate to corral things on Mark's dresser, and a wine glass (not pictured).
Total for the Day: $26.45
and that was just one day. last weekend i spent $2.10 and came home with an old glass bottle, a mason jar, a summery table runner, and an adorably tiny little rainbow vase that will probably only hold one little flower at a time. a couple weeks ago i spent $6 on two shirts and a pair of heels. and i already have an insider's tip about another community yard sale tomorrow.
i know its still early in the yardsale season, but this is the most i've yardsailed in the past few summers, and i am quickly remembering that i love it oh so much. and i'm also remembering that, like most things, it is more fun with a friend. so thanks to Nadine for loving yardsales as much as i do, if not more!
**UPDATE: things i forgot to mention - $3 for a purple bracelet given as a birthday present, and $2 for a brand new game of Sequence.

Linda is keeping a list this summer of things and prices of her garage sales finds. You should keep a photo record of yours as well. You are off to a great start.
