    Default I love Village-Wide Yard Sales

    Where the entire town sets aside a day or a weekend for everyone to hold their yard sales. It makes it so much easier on both the seller and the buyer!

    We didn't get a very early start, I had totally forgotten that it was this weekend until after lunch. But we still did pretty darned good!

    Here's my haul:

    -Jeff Gordon tshirt 50c
    -Toy Story Racing, Game Boy Color game $3
    -Game Boy Advance $15 (birthday present for dd)
    -Boxcar Children books 4/$1
    -Animorphs books 4/$1
    -10 5/8" cast iron pan $3 (whoo hooo!!! my first one!)
    -Arizona Jeans Co. s/s button up shirt 50c
    -Arizona Jeans Co. cords (2 pr) $1/each
    -Old Navy l/s button up shirt $1
    -LL Bean l/s button up shirt $1
    -Arizona Jeans Co. flare jeans $1
    -Arizona Jeans Co. black flare pants $1
    -Nike wind pants $1
    -Spaulding wind pants $1

    There was one in the next town over today. I didn't make it as I had to work, bu ours is on Sept. 10th this year. I got a uber cheap slide for DD last year and some milk-glass lamps that are perfect for my old house. I also got a nice FREE red lamp.
