Last Friday and Saturday  was the annual city-wide yard sale. We grabbed a map ahead of time, and planned out a route to take. We were going to try and shop as many as we could.

Agnes and I got started early Friday morning. We dropped off the boys at school, and shopped till lunchtime.

We found some great deals, and had to stop off at home and unload the mini-van.

I found this set of bookshelves, the price tag said “make and offer”. I ended up snagging the shelves for just three dollars. They just needed a little bit of cleaning.

We shopped on Friday till we were exhausted. We woke up early on Saturday, and everyone was along for the shopping trip.

We found so many great deals. This time around everybody found something at the sales. I think we even made Thade a yard sale fan.

I came home with lots of goodies. I picked up several glasses, and dishes for the kitchen.

I added a few more cookbooks to my collection.

I even found some yarn! I picked up two gallon sized bags for one dollar. I wound what I could use to crochet, the rest we made into a cat toy.

The homemade cat toy quickly turned into a cat wig.

Agnes was pretty proud of her little crafty creation.

It was fun to go to the yard sales. I hope we come across a few more this Spring. I’m still looking for vintage Pyrex, in all shapes and sizes.
