Garage Sale Friday

So. I have a little confession to make. I'm sort of a closet garage sale junkie. So there, I said it. Go ahead and turn up your little noses, but stick around and one day I will make a believer out you! Friday was such a pretty day! I was actually hoping to find some summer clothes for Little Miss. No luck there. She's 3 and built like linebacker. Her 4T's are begging for mercy. That being said, it is absolutely ridiculous that the child still sleeps in a crib. Low and behold I came across this AMAZING Pier 1 bed. It came with a mattress and box springs. But, it looked like a boys bed to me. So we bought it for Drew, my poor deprived middle child, who in his nine little years has never had a headboard. (*Disclaimer: I'm real funny about buying things like mattresses, shoes, basically anything you can't wash, at a garage sale. It's gotta be perfect. And the people have to look normal. Oh, don't hate. You know it matters!!!) Here's a shot after Co' Brown put it together. This isn't the mattress that came with it. We thought he should keep his own.

$100 bucks. For EVERYTHING. Love it!

These pics really don't do it justice. It's a great piece of furniture.

Moving on........

I bought this headboard at the same sale for ten bucks. I thought after a couple coats of white paint it would have LOTS of character. It was a trial run, but I adore the way it turned out! Take a look and see what you think:

A work in progress....

This is the mattress & box springs that came with the Pier 1 set...i think it looks brand new! (And, you guessed it...the people looked "normal" ha!)

Here is Macy's new big girl bed. Bedding courtesy of MoMo & Papa!

I apologize for such a crappy pic.

Next Stop...............

Boys size 10 Gap Jeans.

and all of these...

plus a brand new backpack (forgot to put it in the pic) for Little Miss. All for $2.50! For the record, I am slightly obsessed with Ramekins and firmly believe a girl can never have too many spatulas. For real.

Next stop. Okay, the girl having this sale was the cutest thing ever. Ex- Mansfield High Cheerleader who is now in college and was getting rid of some super cute stuff. I should have bought it all...but the sizes were off. Hate that!

Okay, these three shirts...

a new car charger for Co' Brown's ipod (Little Miss Toot broke his), sunglasses for Drew, and these cute little sandles. I know, I know...used shoes = gross. But honestly the bottoms look like they've never touched the ground.

TOTAL? 5 Bucks...for everything in both pics! Not bad!

On the way home, I stopped by a consignment store by our house and bought this pair of

Ralph Lauren jeans...

For this boy...

For $4.00

There you go. Garage sale Friday. I am anxiously awaiting spring and all of the Estate Sales! I am forever in love with a good Estate Sale! There is just something neat about looking through somebody's stuff. It kind of tells a little story of their life. Geez...I have issues.
