Anywho, sometimes we get some great finds, sometimes not so great. I'm going to attempt to post my finds on a weekly basis for your viewing pleasure.
I find garage sales are a great place to find random crafting supplies as well as holiday decorations. You also need to go in with an open mind as a lot of things can be repurposed to suit your needs and style.
On to the good stuff, today's finds.
We spent a total of $50.00 today.
I got all of the following craft stuff, etc. for about $18.00. A bird cage thingy (which I plan to paint and use for decor), a nice 3 strand pearl necklace, chipboard kids books (which I will cover and repurpose for mini albums), faux moss, 3 wreaths, Styrofoam balls, Styrofoam eggs, lots of lace, miscellaneous buttons, pearl garland, ric rac, vases, boxes, mini hats, a sewing kit, a football bowl, shotglasses, a plaque board, etc. I can't wait to put some of this to good use! Here's a pic.
Tim got all of this hunting/gun stuff for $32.00 - 3 boxes of skeet, a skeet shooter, a shotgun cleaning kit, a gun rack, and a steel target. Tim guesses that each of the boxes of skeet is regularly $15.00 with the skeet shooter being around $75.00 and the shotgun cleaning kit running at $20.00. I'd say we made out pretty darn well - and put Timmy at bay for at least a month on wishing to to go Bass Pro Shop (lol). Here's a pic of the loot (oh and me - hehe).
Do you go thrifting or garage saling? What have been some of the cool things you have found?

Is it bad that I am sitting here laughing at all your "skeet" comments and obviously taking them out of context? ahhahaha
I wish I were a morning person, I would totally go garage saling all the time. I can't get my butt out of bed that early, though lol
I laugh that that's the term too. I suppose we could also call them clay pigeons.
I HATE mornings. But garage saling is SO worth it. That's literally how I've gotten all of my holiday decor. It's awesome.
Omg I'm so jealous! I really miss going to garage sales. =( I don't want to go alone and Joseph really isn't into doing it. I miss going with my mom. *sigh* I love all your loot though! Congrats on great finds.
Maybe in the future I will garage sale, but for now I am still trying to cut down on all of the stuff we have. Probably when we buy our own house I will get more into it! Love you finds for some fun crafts =)
