So, yesterday (Friday), I told you all that I never go to garage sales on Saturdays.  Well, I lied.  See, my friend Amber (who, incidentally, was THE person who bought the $3 table that should have been mine . . . or maybe not) called me yesterday to brag about her garage sale finds and tell me about another sale in her old neighborhood starting at 8:00am on Saturday. I totally wasn’t planning to go.  But then, a kid wapped me in the face at 6:00am and I had to pee, so I got up early this morning.  I wasted time reading blogs.  I checked my favorite forums.  I got bored.  At 7:50, I brushed my teeth, threw on some clothes and whispered to my husband (who was draped with sleeping children), “I’m going to the garage sale!”  He peeked at me, so I took that as, “Cool.”

I considered stopping by for a Dutch Bros, but I kept going.  I thought about the lack of money shoved into my pockets (leftover from yesterday’s $5 budget) and thought about stopping by the bank, but I kept going.  I arrived in the neighborhood at exactly 8:00 and was the first one there at two different sales.

I’m gonna go ahead and skip to the juicies, okay?

Look:

What do we have here?  Hmmm . . . well, first, a cute woven basket.  It is currently holding my adhesive stash on my table in my scrap room.  Total cost: $0.  Yeah, it was from the FREE box.  I asked them what the catch was.  Did a cat pee on this basket?  Nope.  It was clean.  However, I did hose it off, just in case.  But, it is seriously cute!  This pic does not do it justice.

That brown piece of wooden furniture is actually a magazine rack.  Oh, you can tell, huh?  Well, did you know that it is also a little side table?

You’ll be happy to know that I have ALREADY painted it black and it is currently sitting in my bedroom just waiting to find a permanent home.  So, how much?  $1 baby!

Next, you see a towel rack, also already painted black and currently sitting on my kitchen counter holding towels!  It’s a little tall, but we’ll see what I think after a few days.  However, for $1, I decided to take the risk.

And, finally, a little galvanized tub thingy.  10¢  Already holding my punches in my scrap room.

So, yes, I do have some money left over from my garage sale weekend budget!  I think . . . 5¢, although I found two dimes in the laundry, so I actually have 25¢ in my pocket.  I’m so proud!

As I mentioned, I did a little painting.  Look:

Oh, ye of little faith.  Yeah, I wondered about the tacky Tijuana fork and spoon that I bought yesterday, but I think we can agree that it looks good painted black and hung on the wall!

Okay, so link me up to your weekend garage sale wonders!!
