My Gram made me a yard sale junkie at a young age.
Yard sales for me were my special time with her, so they hold a close place to my heart.
I love the feeling of waking up early and heading out to find new treasures.
Of course, this year opens up a whole new yard sale genre for me: Kids stuff.
I drive by slowly and press the brakes only if I see toys piled somewhere.
Lately, I have been amazingly lucky at the nearby yardsales. I have found wonderful deals on toys, brought them home and cleaned them up and packed them in tubs by age appropriateness.
The last two weeks, I have been even luckier with my clothing finds. For .25 cents, I will fill bags of clothes for baby...no matter if they are little Carter dresses or Osh Kosh jeans with lil bugs on them. My kid will be the best dressed kid in town at a paupers price. If I don't have a girl...some wonderful friend will get the little dresses. If I don't have a boy, someone will get the dinosaur and whale jumpers.
I think thought that I will eventually have to stop this addiction...we are running out of space. :)
