Okay, I must admit- I love garage sales!!
This weekend is the local Village Fair. The fair (taking up the whole of Main Street in the little town we live right outside of) lasts only one day, but for several days prior, many, many people have great (and a few not-so-great) garage sales all over town. We went yesterday and today!!
Now I am done (for now, anyways). I'm hot, starting to get a headache, and my feet hurt.
But...I got some cool stuff!!!
Lemme see...I got three shirts, a skirt and slippers. Yarn for crocheting, a canvas tote bag, a camera book (at the Library book sale!) and a cute apron. A bunch of photo mats (they have photos in them, but I'll take those out) to use for my art and photographs-$1 a piece!!! A neat, striped wooden plate and a wooden salad bowl with four small bowls and tongs to toss the salad (those articles are for my hope chest).
And best of all: two adorable vintage-esque boxes (I got the lady to come down on the price :-D) and...*drumroll*, a nice tripod and a BIG camera bag w/ removable dividers!!! I got both of those for 4 bucks-total!!! The camera bag is kinda dirty and old, and not pretty (yeah...honestly, it's not.), but for $1, I'll make the best out of it!! I've already worked on sweeping it out with the ShopVac and it's cleaning up. Now I'll have more money to put towards a zoom lens, and have something to keep it in :-D I don't think my current camera bag is large enough for a camera and two lenses.
Cool beans!! My cute boxes :-D

What awesome finds!!!! It's too cool that you look for stuff for your hopechest at garage sales too :D Sometimes I feel so dumb looking for things I might not get to use for 4-5 more years but it is fun shopping for your future house and kids sometimes :D The pictures of your boxes are so cool! You are so talented at photography :D
Hope you're having a great day in Him Hannah!

I *LOVE* the boxes!! They are so cute! I can't say I agree with you about garage sales though since I just got done hosting my own, what a pain!
