thrifty thursdays...

I haven't shown you much this year from my treasure hunts

because they just haven't been that good.

The sales have had long lines , high prices and not much to offer.

I was starting to worry I just might run out of inventory.

(Insert husband bursting into laughter here)

but really, I do have to replace what I sell, don't I?






By last Saturday, I almost didn't go.

I was discouraged, I was tired and I was afraid.

Afraid of failing and afraid of the competition.

That is no reason to stay home...so with husband's blessing off I went.

I'm sure glad I did.



There were enough goodies for everyone and the prices were great!



I love this transferware bowl...not sure I can part with it.





There was a box with wonderful old sheet music.

This is just in time for my *4th of July* look.




This sweet little child's rocker just melted my heart.




I also found this dryer,

which as I was walking out the door, husband yells "bring home a dryer."

We were desperately needing one....mine was clanging really loudly.

It was like new, super capacity, and only $65.00

It really is awesome how the Lord provides for us.

but anyway, the dryer is for another post....


That's all for now,

have a wonderful day.

    Amazing finds Rene! I want to go to garage sales tomorrow and just take our time and have a fun day.

    I could learn a lesson from you. We tend to go out and buy a new appliance when ours breaks down and from now on I want to look at used first. I know there are amazing bargains out there. Thanks for sharing the Lords provisions in your life. Our God is an awesomen God!
    Blessings~

    I understand the feeling of "I hope I don't run out of things".

    When estate shopping week-ends aren't that great, you do get concerned.

    I'm glad you were able to find some wonderful items.
