I made out without breaking out that much of my green

This past weekend I went to a neighborhood garage sale and my wallet walked away $11 dollars lighter and my arms got a little more bicep action. I love going to garage sales, I actually prefer to be the one selling vs buying. 
Here are some of my great finds this weekend.


This was my first stop, I only spent $4.00

Disney Cars Toddler Rolling Backpack – great condition inside and out.

This was my second stop and the following items were a total of (Drum roll please) 

                                                                      FREE!

These books I got for the kids

Inflatable instruments for the boys to play with. As I’m writing this I am imagining how they will probably use this as a weapon towards each other vs pretending they are in a band. This will now have to be an outside toy/activity for sure.

A musical guitar I got for the baby however my middle son took it over. After hours of playing with this guitar he now wants to be Musician when he grows up. He also asked for a drum set and piano lessons. OH BOY!

Books for me

A World map and a Map of the United States

I liked the lampshade. Actually I liked the lamps so I took them, then I realized that they are two different styles. Still not sure how I missed this distinct difference. So now I am going to try to find a matching lampshade for the one on the right.


This was my final stop and I only spend $7.00

3 Weight Watchers Cookbooks and a Weight Watchers Scale

Brand new cookie cutters still in their original box. Inside is a high-heel, Big and small hearts, Big and small stars, and a Crown. I know what you must be thinking, you have ALL BOYS. I still like making heart and star sandwiches and cookies for them. Especially for Valentines Day and Fourth of July. They also like it when we do fun shapes for pancakes.

A Star shaped cake pan, in-case you couldn’t tell.
A Quick-Switch Microscope.  Its a 300x, 600x, 900x Translucent Microscope and Viewer. My oldest was very pleased.
