Garage Sale

I don't remember if I have already posted about my infatuation with garage sales.  I absolutely LOVE them!!  Always have, always will.  Well, about a year ago I told Cole I wanted to start saving some up some of our give away stuff and storing it in our basement so that this summer we could have our very own garage sale.  For some reason I just loved the idea of having my own!!!!
Well, it all finally came to fruition this last Saturday.  It was so so fun!!  We randomly ended up picking the perfect day too because 7 other people had garage sales in our neighborhood so there ended up being a ton of traffic.  We didn't have any big furniture pieces or anything like that, but we still ended up making $125.  Plus I had a ton of fun, which is really the whole point!
We needed a Not For Sale sign next to Tavian!  Everyone took a lot of interest in him!!!!

Of course I had to stop by the other garage sales going on in our neighborhood.  I found a few cute pieces of clothing, but I am mostly excited about this...
The pic was taken after I already took a lot of the toys and other items off so I could get it cleaned

We got it for $20..which maybe is a lot to spend at a garage sale, but it has barely been used, works perfectly, and is currently selling for $85 at Target.  I think it was a great find..especially since i have been looking for something like this for Tavian!  Unlike the one that Tavian sat in at our garage sale, this one has hinges and he can bounce around in it..along with other fun things ;)

All in all, a success:)
