Coffee in hand...change in my wallet...the car is gassed up and it it's time to head out...
Yeah...Garage Sale Friday (last Friday that was...)
Here are some of my fun finds!
Some magazines for my 2 teen daughters...they were 10 cents each and current editions too!The "Adorn" was for me!
This wonderful Hallmark Instant Christmas Scrapbook!
Love all the vintage beads...
...and embellishments too!
A sweet lady named Barbara sold me these Christmas cottages and she was so nice! She said that she used to have an entire collection, but these were the only ones she had left....they are at least 50 years old! She was downsizing and moving after losing her husband three years ago.
All these accessories came with them. $1 for the whole lot!
I love candles...but only if they are brand new like these two!
And how about these two apple baker bowls! Can't wait to try them out.
This neat set of fry pans was made in Yugoslavia...the handle switches from pan to pan as needed...cool uh?
And the "Piece de Resistance"....
MY NEW BIKE!Isn't she a beauty....The previous owner tells me she only rode it a half a dozen times or so....
I hope I will do better!
With the unusually extreme hot weather here in Portland, Oregon....107 degrees today...I may have to wait a bit to try her out!
I guess this Friday I will have to be certain to have a large bottle of very cold water on hand too!
HAPPY SUMMER GARAGE SALE FINDING TO ALL!
It looks like you had a great day of treasure hunting, the little putz Christmas houses are darling! And that bike looks brand new! That will be fun and some good exercise. All it needs is a little basket to tote your finds in. I love it all, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses, Diane
Great Bike!!! Absolutely...a cuted little wicker basket in front would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, you found some really great things...the putz cottages were a steal...even when i see them all ripped up, they are pretty pricey here...plus you got all the cute goodies to go with them...SCORE!!!
ReplyDeletelots of goodies! I love the old christmas stuff. My dad used to put together a whole village of those old houses. Hes moved a couple times in the last 25 years, and he doesnt have all that wonderful stuff anymore! pooh!!

ReplyDeleteenjoy everything, carrie!

This blog is reminding me that I'm not garage sale-ing near enough! What on earth is an apple baker anyhow? Kitchen gadgets are my weakness!
ReplyDeleteHi, Carrie -
ReplyDeleteYou visited my blog a recently and I'm just now getting a chance to get back and spend some time getting acquainted with yours. I absolutely love what I see here and your garage sale finds are great. I'm a 'garager' too and have enjoyed each of your sweet treasures. But your bike - now should I tell you what I thought about your bike? I'm jealous!!! I'm shopping for a bike and yours is just about the cutest, sweetest and most charming! I'm hoping to find one similar to it - at a great price. I'm just south of Portland a bit - in Canby - and I'd love to ride around my neighborhood in vintage style. Enjoy yours! If you ever come out my way and you ride by my house I hope I'm outside to see you and wave! ~Adrienne~
