    Talking Today's Yard Sale Deals, 5/17

    ~Had a mishap and lost my $10 sunglasses but they really weren't that flattering to begin with so I guess someone else will enjoy them. I did pick up a summer floral robe, a purple corderoy handbag, 2 mini mailboxes for the kids, a pair of jeans, a tank top, a Pooh insulated lunch bag and an AWESOME vintage purse all for $2.75! Did you all find some cool stuff?~

    I ventured out this morning. Lets see if I can remember what I bought. I took a picture and will post it on my blog Monday.

    black leather briefcase for DH-really nice for $3
    small end table/plant stand for living room $3
    paint canvas-its painted for a child, but I'll do my own painting over it or turn it into a chalkboard-$2
    lampshade- .50
    Banana Republic sweater $3
    frog floor mat-$2
    glass jar- .75
    pants- .25
    4 great quality stack trays $2

    except for the floor mat, these are all things I would have bought anyway. DH just bought a briefcase at walmart for $20, but now he's taking it back. So, after that return we're breaking even.
