This past weekend I had a garage sale. It was super and I got rid of a bunch of stuff. I also had lots of blog readers and IG followers stop by which was super fun. I was in full garage sale prep and really didn't have time to hit estate sales I had to CONCENTRATE on purging myself. I was running some errands on Friday and there was one estate sale that I popped by. It had hundreds of bobbleheads and it was really fun to see so many in one place.
I didn't buy a thing and thought about returning on Sunday for half price. I really loved that little gal in the front.
My own garage sale on Saturday was great. Good weather, good crowds and a full driveway. It was much emptier by the end of the day.
My Mom helps me each year with the sale. Usually I stay put in my driveway and just sell. This year I kept hearing from shopper friends that there was a guy in the next block that had vintage sunglasses for sale. LOTS of sunglasses for $3 a pair. I could not resist and make a quick run up the street at one point when there was a bit of a lull in customers. Here was part of what he had. I of course had to buy some.
Sunday I made it back to the estate sale for half price. I drove by when in opened and there was a line to get in. I wasn't in the mood to wait so I ran some errands and looped back on the way home a couple of hours later. I still managed to find some goodies.
A ton of the bobbleheads had been sold, but there were still a few there. I thought this pair should come home with me.
That little gal from the first photo had a rough time at the sale. Her bobble had come off the head and she no longer worked. I asked if I could get her at a further discount since she was a bobble on Friday when I saw her. They gave her to me for FREE. I fixed her bobble and she is quite happy again.
Easter bunny bobble.
A pair of scary dolls for Halloween and a Hull vase (for the beach house).
This pair will head to the studio.
Here are the sunglasses I found at the garage sale up the street, as well as nodder dog.
I left the estate sale and on the way home I popped by one more. I ended up finding this vintage lamp. It was $10. It is already hanging in the beach house and is perfect. I can't believe my luck with it.
A great weekend. I saw friends. I got rid of junk and made money. I found junk at estate sales. I found groovy sunglasses. I also made an trip to the beach house for projects. It was happy.
