Perfect Weekend Continued...

Rummage Sale Report - finally a good weekend!

Dansko Shoes Sz 38 - $2
When we got to North Bay Townhomes (the place that I had the dream about) I turned left and Bill spotted these shoes--just my size. Dansko's are usually around $100. These were maybe worn 3 times and the lady who sold them was very nice.

Wicker Chair and Cushion - $10
I got this chair on Prospect Street. I thought about the chair for a minute and then forked over $10. I carried it across the street to where Bill was checking out a bike. I set the chair down and one of my rummage sale competetors walked up to find out if I was selling it--nope, I beat her to the bargain.

Eddie Bauer Ice Scraper Plus Mitten - $1
I picked up this ice scraper from the North Bay Townhomes as well. It still had the price tag on it from Eddie Bauer. It is a down mitten with the ice scraper inside. I'm sure I'll use it next winter.


Ann Taylor Dress - 50 cents
This dress is also from Prospect Street. It was the only piece of women's clothing that was set out. I went back later to see if there were any more clothes for sale--nope.

Last night I had a dream about yard sales. I went to a sale in a neighborhood (that is happening tomorrow) and walked to left instead of right--where everyone else was going because I wanted to find the bargains.

There was a set of dishes and pitchers and platters that had a sign $55 or make an offer--I offered $20 and the guys said sure. After I gave him the 20 dollar bill he gave it back to me and said I could just take the set -- he was glad to get rid of it.

Hoping my bargain hunting goes well this weekend!

WTF WednesdayMy daily real estate update gave me the inspiration for this post. Does that toilet get pulled out from under the counter for use? This house is located on Lake Superior in Calumet, MI.
