    Default I just have to brag on my yard sale finds!

    At this one yard sale I got:

    Set of 10 professional artist colored pencils
    small bag of colored stones
    6 inch oval magnifiying mirror
    1 pair of reading glasses
    2 6.6 pound weights
    2 soft luggage suitcases
    1 cute rug for the bathroom
    1 pair scrapbooking zig zag sissors
    candlemaking kit - several bags of wax crystals in different colors
    two molds, 1 jar of scent -- most of this unopened
    1 box of cotton fabric - I estimate about 30 yards and some of this
    is top quality fabric--not Walmart stuff.

    Guess what I paid for all of this!!! $13.00 Yes, that's right thirteen dollars. I think they were just wanting to get rid of this stuff and that is why it was priced so low and it was early in the day like the first 30 minutes of the sale.



    And several days ago I got a big stack of books at the thrift shop. I got the checked Betty Crocker book for 50 cents, a cookbook on cooking with blueberries for 25 cents, two Christmas with Southern Living cookbooks, a book on sewing costumes and several hardback Christian fiction books for 50 cents each. All this was under $5.00.

    Wow! The fabric alone would have been a steal for $13. WTG!
