I'm Chris and I am addicted to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores and bargain hunting in general. Visit my site yardsalequeen.com - which I started in 1996. "Smile" and "VV" (Vintage Value) are the names of two thrift stores I regularly shop at. I grew up in Clifton Park NY but now live in Lusby, MD. I also lived in other exciting locales such as Schenectady, Watervliet (NY), and Charleston, SC.

Thrift Store Buys and my Cherry Tree (and buy my stuff)
This is what I bought today. Some books at $1 each. A new, unused shadowbox ($5 but it was new) I want to do a crafty wall decoration with a bunch of Jacob's baby stuff in it - like the pregnancy pee stick and other sentimental baby goodies. I tried to save his umbilical/belly button gunky black thing, but it dropped off of Jacob's tummy and Whiskey (my old dog) ate it. No lie.
$1 Furreal dog and a $1 Folkmanis turtle puppet (that will go on ebay, eventually. I know I have other Folkmanis puppets that I should list). Comic book Bible was .50 and the vintage Russian/English children's folk tale book was $1. Vintage Kentucky ashtray was .50 and the package of thank you cards were $1.
Speaking of my junk, I listed some stuff on ebay yesterday - to see what I have listed on ebay click here
My cherry trees in my yard are in full bloom now, and they will be gorgeous for about the next 2 weeks, then the yard will be filled with pink pedal confetti.
I saved my POAS too!
ReplyDeleteLove the cherry tree, how beautiful!! Too bad they couldn't find a way to make it blossom longer...
