Garage Sale Haul

Yesterday morning found my mom, sister and I up at 5 something in the morning to garage sale with some friends of ours. That was early, but more so by the fact that I'd only gotten five or six hours of sleep. ;P

So maybe I shouldn't exactly call this a haul, as I probably didn't buy as much as last time. Remember? In October me and my mom went garage-saling on the military base, and I got my record player for $10? Yesterday we went to what must be the spring base garage sales. *grins* And yes, I got another good deal. The photographers here may be interested. *winks*  

OK, so the things I found...

This little Eiffel Tower key chain! OBVIOUSLY I had to get it. *winks* It was probably like... 25 or 50 cents. Can't you imagine it hanging from the keys of my future little mazda car or my teal 70's pickup? ;D Okay, okay, just dreams. ;P

Yes, spray paint. ;P Just 25 cents too.

I'm collecting the Mandie series, so I picked this up for 25 cents. It was actually at a church garage sale and not the base one.

Here are the clothes I got! A pretty red tank-top- which I'm happy about, 'cause I want more red shirts. ;) A darker reddish shirt, a skirt (to wear with leggings, don't worry ;P), and some high-waisted skinny jeans! The jeans still had tags on them, and they were $2! I'm excited about those. *winks* My mom actually paid for a dollar of them, which is always nice. ;) She bought some other clothes that I might use too, so yea.

The greatest deal of the day, though, was this totally awesome tri-pod! *photographer squeals* My mom's is broken so I haven't been able to use a tri-pod for awhile. And this one was $5

Just look at it! It looks like such a nice one. *grins*

The top can extend up so high, which is really nice!

And it has little leveler things on it. ;D

And I think the feet are pretty gripping.

So yea, that's an exciting buy! Camera gear! I tried it out today to photograph my church outfit. I love it! Now I don't have to have my little sister come take the pictures for me. ;)

It was a really fun time. I always love spending money, especially if the things are cheap! 

Me and my sister went to a friend's house today, and just hung out there for quite a while. Just talking. It was pretty fun! I love having people to hang out with. :)

I'm excited for summer, with all the hanging out and fun things to come!! Yesterday was pretty cold, but today was nice. 

There was a pretty clear sunset last yesterday though. :)

And I pruned our bushes the other day. I just went outside and saw the bush, and decided I wanted to prune. It must be my artistic nature, but I've done it before and it's actually kinda fun. ;D The first, nearest bush turned out nice. The farther one was harder because it was much taller... and just more difficult. ;P My little sister went and finished it for me- clipped the far-back branches that were sticking up. ;P Some of the others might've slightly helped me too. A little bit. 

Anyhow, hope you enjoyed this post! Compared with how I usually am, I've kinda been neglecting this blog. Maybe it's good I'm laying back a bit. ;)

BEEN GARAGE SALING YET THIS YEAR? EVER PRUNED BUSHES? *winks*

October Garage- Saling...!

     Guys, I got some seriously great things today! =D 

     So me and my mom went garage- saling at an army base today with some friends. We got up around six in the morning, which for me, happens rarely. :P It was SOO worth it! I absolutely LOVE garage- saling! It's probably because I love spending money. =D And it's cheap. 

    So at first there wasn't much, but then a ton popped up and we went to sale after sale- there were so many good ones!

    Here are the things I got. =D =D

                            Necklace- 50 cents was it?

Three retro- looking necklaces for 25 cents each! :)

  The Samantha American Girl movie, 50 cents. (And it was still in the plastic. :) )

Little album set. Isn't it cute? :)

   Bigger album. I have a home for all my pictures now. :) ... just got to order them. :P I don't even have very many printed up.

    I also got some clothes. That's always nice. :)

    But last, (and BEST!), I got...

A record player!!! *dies* 

     Isn't it just absolutely beautiful? =D AHHH! My mom bought it for me, for my "yearly gift" (something she decided to do instead of Christmas gifts. [we do stockings, though. ;)] ). 

   And guess how much it was? TEN DOLLARS! Cheap, guys! Go to these military base garage sales! =D

    I got to have the record in it too. It's... *goes to look* John Denver. Not that I know of him. :P Some people we know said he was probably fine (his songs) though. And they sound fine to me. :)

   Now I need to go buy some more records at Goodwill! :D Can anyone tell me who's good to listen to? I hardly know any old singers. :P 

  This thing is SOOOO cool though! Love it! <3 =D

  Okay, back to my not-flailing self. ;) Since I'm doing a post, I'll show you one last birthday present, which arrived yesterday.

    Isn't it wonderful? :D It's two adult coloring books, watercolor pencil kit, mini doughnut pan, and a cross stitch kit, I believe. I've never done cross stitch, so here's my chance! :) Oh, I also got DELECTABLE salted caramel dark chocolate, which is gone already. Oops. :P But then, that's nothing new for me. lol.

  What did I do the rest of the day? WELL, my mom left to go drop off a couple siblings for a sleepover, and pick up a bunch of my younger girl cousins for a sleepover here. :) So I had some time to myself, to go on the computer, clean the bathrooms (fun, right? :P), and eat ice cream. ;)

  Then I did not-that-interesting stuff. ;)

  Hope you enjoyed! 

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE OF THE THINGS I BOUGHT? :)
