Yesterday I spent eight HOURS in the St. Marlo country club neighborhood. Three girls from my Sunday School class and I left Madison at 6:30 and arrived at the subdivision at 8 am, just in time to start hunting for a great yard sale find. This neighborhood holds biannual yard sales, and they have some great stuff. I was able to find a lot of great little treasures. Some of my loot included: 2 Ralph Lauren shirts, a Ralph Lauren sweater, and a shirt and skirt for myself; several pieces of clothing for Makinley; a bed canopy for Makinley, a few little knick knacks to sit around the house, a bag of Power Ranger toys for Tripp for Christmas, a genuine looking stroller and pack and play for Makinley's baby dolls for Christmas (it looks just like a miniature Graco), an easel with a dry erase board and chalkboard for Christmas, several Christmas decorations, books, and 2 lamps. I'm probably forgetting something. It was so much fun to see what these people were considering "trash". This neighborhood was unbelievable. Many of the houses had lion statues at their front doors! Two of the houses were having estate sales and it was really fun to be able to actually go inside two of the houses and see these people "reality". Believe me, their reality and mine don't look the same! But, I can promise you that at the end of the day, I was plenty happy and content to come right on back to our neck of the woods and my warm and cozy home. Here are a few pictures of some of my finds:
A new lamp for our entry way table
And a new one for my bedroom dresser
This will be super cute as a centerpiece for spring/Easter
I couldn't pass this up when I saw our last name!
Just something fun to add to our mantel
Don't we all need to simplify a little bit?
A print for our half bath
It was a fun Saturday, but I was worn out when we got back home!
