A yard sale paradise...


Friday and Saturday were unbelievable with bargains at some local yard sales. The first sale I hit on Friday was an older couple who had been married a couple of years and this was their first yard sale ever. Here is what I found at that sale.

These were from the .05 cent box. Vintage fruit bowl and vintage Tupperware. 


I got the pretty white plate for patriotic holidays.  The Christmas cookie containers is two per pack so I got four containers in all. The total for the plates and the containers was just .30 cents.


I got all four spoons for a total of .2.0 cents. These are destined for craft projects.


My first Pyrex pattern was spring blossom. I couldn't pass up the two cups in that pattern. Especially at .10 each. 


These two beauties were Fire King and in excellent condition. I need to fix supper using them one night this week. They were just .25 each. 


You know I love Pyrex and I collect a lot of it. My favorite pieces are the 401 bowls. I want to collect one in every pattern. The most I have paid for one is $6.00 and the least I have paid is $3.00...until Friday when I found this little cutie in the .10 cent box. I almost cried with joy.


But the deal of the day went for this little beauty. I have been scouring antique stores for one of these in any color. I plan to spray paint this one. These go for $20 - $40 in our antique stores. I picked this baby up for a meager $2.00.


I would say that is quiet a haul for one stop at one yard sale and only spending $3.40 total for everything! Come back tomorrow to see what all I found on my Saturday sales I visited.

I can't believe the amazing prices you found everything for!

I have two of those carts that I found from garage sales. One I spray painted turquoise and it sits in my kitchen most of the year. The other I painted red and use it in my Valentine's Day, 4th of July, and Christmas decorating. I have one more sitting out in the garage and I think it is going to get a makeover and be used in Maddie's room remodel. They are so useful.

Have a great week!
