If you have been reading my posts, you know I love a good thrift shop deal. Today, I thought I would share a helpful hint for those of you who want to shop for a good bargain.
Let your children dress themselves.
My kiddos and I headed out to an advertised garage sale to purchase an outdoor gazebo for our patio one rushed morning. "Get dressed kids! Time to go!" and off we went. The prized gazebo was there, and when I asked the seller how much the lovely lady said, "$50.00" then paused, smiled, and said, "Well, $25.00 is fine!" Wow! What a steal. I accepted and came home elated....then looked at my daughters for the first time that day...I mean REALLY looked. I then realized there was a very strong likelihood that I scored the great deal because my children looked like street urchins. Thank you little orphan Annie's. Thank you. |
It's a hard knock life. |
And to the lovely and generous woman who sold me the gazebo (whoever you are), I just want to assure you, we purchased the gazebo for our home, not to be our home. Oh well.
I also have to show off my treasures! I found these for $1.00 a piece last week... LOVE THEM! They will adorn my Thanksgiving and Christmas tables.
Happy thrifting!
After Thanksgiving Day, I will be posting some great ideas for hosting an art themed party,
creating a family tree, and making use of chalk paint. Happy Thanksgiving!
