Free Food and Finds

Yesterday my husband dressed up the kids + friends to go get some free chick-fil-a.   I got to stay home with the kid that is stuck with peanut allergies.  Our poor little birdie.  Poor me, too.  I didn't even get a peach shake.     

     

He is pretty cute though, isn't he?

~Garage Sale Fun~

Last week I only got to go to one garage sale.  Apparently people don't think of pulling all their junk out of the basement to sit outside during the weekend where we celebrate the independence of our country, what is wrong with people?  Priorities, people!!  Anyway... at the one sale I went to, guess what I found?

This fabulous goodie for just $2!  I think it will go great displayed in my (someday) art studio.

So then this week I went out with much more success.  A few sneak peeks of my finds . . .

A great assortment of ribbon for a quarter each, and cloth napkins (also a quarter each).  I have quit buying paper towels (I know, I know, soo hard to give up!!) so I pick up cloth napkins when I find them and they are in great condition.  I also got some vintage ribbon that was very snazzy.  Yes, vintage just means it is old but hey, I prefer to think of it as "vintage", it just sounds so much cooler.  Total cost:  $2.50

Sewing basket= .50 cents

I loved these sweet pictures to put in either my (someday) art studio or in Birdie's room.  $1 each.

And this seriously cute ring for a splurge (wink)  . . . $2

Oh, and I picked up some clothes.  This hoodie that Ava is modeling was .25 cents (price tag still on in picture), and the seersucker skirt with green sequin trim was .50 cents.  The cool thing at that sale was, it was later in the day and they had a "Buy 5, get 5 free" so I spent $2.50 on 5 clothing items, then got 5 more items (mostly shirts for Spencer this fall, but I did get myself an nice Eddie Bauer shirt too) for free.  Free is my favorite price.

SCORE!

Okay, just one more thing I wanted to share, speaking of free.  After I got that camera last week, I was talking to my momma about it, and she told me that she had a camera that was my grandfather's that I can have.  My sis Vanessa and I went on a treasure hunt at my parent's house.  I ended up going home with two from her -- the bonus of having sentimental value, too!  Yay for hoarders!

Isn't it fabulous??
