Why I love garage sales... Let me count the ways :)

Okay, I know it's getting later into the garage sale season, but I had my first chance to go garage sale-ing this year! And it reminded me of why I love love love garage sales!

And I found this really neat website http://www.yardsaletreasuremap.com/ that will pull all the garage sale listings from craigslist in your area (all you do is put in your city and state) and organizes them in a route for you! how stinking cool is that? So on one sheet you have a map, directions, and the entire garage sale listing! Plus you can pick the dates and it only puts in the garage sales for that date!

We went on a Thursday which I had never done before (usually go on Saturday), so I didn't figure there would be too many garage sales and only took out $20. Well, turns out that is all I would need!

For $20 I purchased:


Adorable Target brand dress for Addie


Another adorable Target brand dress for Addie :)


Cute summer shorts for Addie


Freaking adorable lil Nike's for Addie :) Can't wait till they are washed!


A racetrack, which Addie & Dad are thrilled about :) It's from the movie Cars, and Addie knew all the names of the cars.... I didn't know if I should be proud or cut back her movie time :)


Books for her LeapPad


A princess book on counting and ABC's that has a sing-along CD


And my "omg" purchase :) Found a lady selling a barbie house that she had gotten at the Disney store, and her daughter never played with it... She was so happy to see how excited Addie was :) Guess how much????


The back


Opened up


And look, the protective film is still on the mirror!

yeah... it was $4

that's why I love garage sales :)
