Garage Sales For April 14th and 20th









I started garage selling again these last couple of weekends to start collecting things for our home decor. I have found some good deals and some not so good deals. I have been sending my finds to my friend Robin who has just started her Garage Sales R Us Blog

ONE WITH ORANGE BAG:
I got all of this for $20. 
*This lady was a sales rep for a bunch of companies and so all of this stuff was brand new with tags on them still.*
Orange Weekender Bag: $40.00 Retail
(Perfect to pack up a change of clothes and jammies for Grandma & Pop's House.)
Bella Il Fiore Boo Boo Couture Ice Bag: $14 Retail
(Mya is learning about ouies and is completely reckless. I'm sure she will need this soon.)
Damask Cup: $12 Retail
(I love these stupid tumblers I use them all the time this makes number 5.)
Whale Sippy Cups: $9 each Retail 
(They are just like real cups just have a cover over the lip so they won't spill. Mya loves big girl cups but makes such a mess.)
Salt and Pepper Shakers: $23 Retail 
(They match my blue wall perfectly so I couldn't pass them up)
Bracelet: was marked for $12 on the tag

BLACK POLKA DOT DISHES:
I needed some cute serving dishes for when the family comes over for Sunday dinners and for Relief Society pot-luck dinners.
These are temp-tations 7 piece oven-to-table set with two dipping dishes.
They all have their own lid 3 of them have their own wire holder and there are 3
glass cutting-board/hot-trays.
QVC RETAIL: $79

BEADED GARLANDS:
17 garlands (brown ones and red ones) 
$4 for the whole box all in original wrappers RETAIL: $6-$7 each
These don't match my house but match my in-laws. I picked these up for them and to sell for more at our garage sale tomorrow. *SHHHH* Don't Say A Word*
Silver swirly things for my christmas tree all 4 for $0.75

TURTLE KEY CHAIN:
$0.10 
I paid $10 for one like it but with an orange beetle at Charming Charlie.
Brian hated how big the beetle was so hopefully he won't hate this one.

15 PAMPERS WIPE CASES:
All for $1. 
I will use them to make gifts for friends babies.
And this other cool wipe case for $1 
It has a snap thing so I thought it would be perfect for four-wheeling, camping, on the boat, stroller or whatever.  

Last week I picked up the apothecary, giant vase for $5 each. I over paid a little for a garage sale but still saved a ton compared to retail. The 2 square vases I picked up for $0.50 each. The 2 big metal candle holders things I paid $25 for the 2.

Elmo Jammies And Kissing Ouies










A lady from Brian's work keeps getting all these Elmo things for Mya. She loves them so much. She is so proud of her Elmo jammies she points to him and shows me her jammies the whole time she is wearing them. Mya is starting to learn what ouies are and she gives hers and everyone else's kisses so they will be all better. When she gets hurt she runs so one of us and gives us her ouie to have us kiss it all better. Her hair is a little crazy but we love her and her "EEEESE" face.


Cedar Chest Redo




My mom gave me her old cedar chest while we were in St. George for Easter. I was so excited to bring it home! I have been looking for a bench to put at the end of my bed for so long and haven't found one that I love and that was a good price. When I got this chest I was ecstatic and totally knew what I was going to do with it and where it was going to go!

My Princess and Her Thrown





Every time we bring out this little step stool Mya climbs on it and gets mad if we try to use it. She thinks it's her own personal desk/thrown.

Palo Verde




When we got home from Utah our Palo Verde was bloomed to the fullest. It was so pretty and full. Now it is just making a huge mess but our tree was breath taking for a few days. 

The Princess Chair













Grandma and Grandpa Griz found this chair at Costco and couldn't help them selfs. They knew that Mya needed her own Little Princess Chair. She loves this thing. She always comes and grabs my hand for me to open the back door so she can go and sit on it. She eats her lunch sitting in it everyday. She even cleans it when I give her a wash cloth to clean up her lunch. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa.

Easter Walk With The Paradox



















On Easter Sunday after church we went over for a quick visit to Grandma and Grandad Parkinson's house for some yummy strawberry shortcake and a nice walk down to the park. Mya loved trying to walk Mokie and talking with the horses. She is such a cute little girl I could eat her up.
