got to LOVE a garage sale...

Despite the dreary weather, pouring rain & bitter cold, my little family & I popped on our gumboots & coats & headed out this morning to do some garage sale'n...
Much to my delight we found some lovely treasures & a garage sale hostess with the mostest generosity...
a sweet old table & chair..
a toy box which we plan to use for shoe & school bag storage by the front door...
a pretty pink colander thrown in for nothing along with a bucket full of Buzz & Woody chocolates which can no longer be accounted for...
a Buzz scooter for the littlest superhero/biggest Buzz fan!

What a joy it was, this dear lady had the 'spirit of the garage sale' going on, she was marking stuff down all over the place & throwing in all kinds of treats just for good measure.  I bet she won't be running any left overs to the op shop tomorrow!

For more great finds, visit Sophie..

  5. What a great morning! I love the table and chair and toy box thingie, excellent idea to use it for shoes by the front door. I love the kind of attitude this lovely woman had, bless her cotton socks! That scooter is a little ripper too. Don't you just love a good garage sale? xo

  9. Thanks to your great referral I headed over there later that day and scored myself a great picture frame which I've posted about today. You're right - she was extremely generous. I love the little table and chair and the toy box. Garage sales are such fun particular when you find such quality things at bargain prices.
