Garage Sale Finds!
Today Mike and I went to the two garage sales being held in my dad and mom's neighborhood.
I found some clothes for Grayson and a gorgeous solid wood Ethan Allen hutch for $50! It's still sitting in their garage awaiting pick-up but soon it will be our new "command center" in our kitchen.
I cannot wait. Pictures to come.
My mom was at home with Easton, so I was texting her as we walked down the street. I didn't anticipate to find much at the next house, but I thought I might as well stop by.
As we walked into the garage, my eyes landed on a nativity scene. The same exact nativity scene that my family had when I was a child. All that was missing was the little crèche that went with it. I seriously almost cried.
I announced loudly, "I HAVE TO BUY THIS!" which was really meant for Mike, but a bunch of the shoppers turned to look at me like I was crazy. I didn't care. It was a whole 2 bucks. I texted my mom, "You will not believe what I just found. You just wait!"
Then as I made my way around the tables, I found another gem.
A Howard Miller bird clock. The same one my grandpa had in his house for years. The same one my parents now have. That all I have to do is close my eyes and I am instantly transported back to my grandpa's family room where the bird clock is singing the hour and the Pirates are playing on the television.
I was so happy and excited.
The best part was that the clock was a quarter. Unbelievable. The lady didn't think it worked but it sure does!
It was so fun to take my treasures back to my parents and show my mom. The delighted look she had on her face when I showed her what I bought was so neat! I knew she would share in my excitement. I am not really someone who gets attached to things, but I guess I will make an exception for the nativity scene and the clock.
The best $2.25 I have ever spent!
