    Talking Church Yard sale finds

    Well, our big church yard sale was this weekend. We do this every year in Sept to raise money to fight hunger. 100% of the profits got o various hunger organizations. Proceeds generally run 30-40,000!

    Anyway, I found some clothes for the girls - dresses for Sunday and some tops. I got Amanda a pair of patent mary janes - Stride Rites - didn't even look like they had been worn - for $2!

    DH and I got bikes for ourselves - $20 for both. I got a tuner for our stereo (ours was shot) for $10. I found a really old ladder back chair with the woven leather seat. The right side under the weaving is broken, but can be fixed. I asked how much they wanted and obviously they had no idea it was old because he told me to name my price! I got it for $5. The reason I bought it is because it is exactly like the one my grandma sat in almost every day of her adult life!

    At the end of the day, as things were getting boxed up, we got some free stuff - a leap pad with books and cartridges for Amanda and a new towel bar for our bathroom (Katie tried to use the old one for gymnastics).

    The girls had a blast - they each had $5 to get some things. Right before closing it becomes "fill a bag for a dollar". We ended up bringing home s bunch of stuffed animals we really don't need, but the girls had fun.
