Anyone go garage sale-ing today?

[PrairieRose]

A local church here was having a fund raiser so I went to one. There were about 10 or so families with stuff and I got a couple of good things.

~small stained glass light house lamp for dd#1-$1 (works!)
~glass canister with silver lid for dd#2 to put cotton balls in
-.50 (really nice and designer looking)
~set of 8 glass buffet serving dishes with cups for a friend
who collects them and lends them out for wedding
showers, etc. -$2.50
~4 noodles (water toys) for $1 (usually $1.50 ea.)

Didn't get too much, didn't spend much but what I got was really neat stuff.

Next?
