After two years of not going to garage sales I’ve decided it’s high-time to get cracking this year!
1st sale of the year and I scored a find I had been drooling over on the Office Max website for well over a year… at only a fraction of the price!
*drum roll please*
A desk.

A desk.
Exciting, no?
Ok, so it was exciting TO ME.
For the last 2.5 years my computer workspace has been on the living room couch.
Although it was far from ideal, I couldn’t bring myself to spend $250 on a new desk & chair for the office when I wasn’t in there a ton to begin with. It’s not like I’m home all day surfing the web.
This particular Saturday I headed out bright & early with the hopes of some amazing garage sale adventure. My first stop of the day was just a few blocks away from our house, and as I walked up, there it was. The desk… almost identical to the one I had seen online.
And the best part?
It was $15.00.
And did I mention they also had a desk chair, one where all the hydraulics still worked?
The sweet lady gave that to me for $4.
$18 vs. $250
$18 vs. $250
Ohhhh yeah.
I never cease to be amazed at how God provides for us, even in the little things.

My next mission for this garage sale season was to find baby clothes for one of my pregnant friends. This is their first baby and the precious bundle-of-joy is due in October. And ohhh have I ever scored the jackpot. Who knew there were so many cute baby clothes in the world. Some of these clothes even still had the tags on.
I admit there might have been a twinge of baby-fever when I saw all those little sleepers flapping in the breeze on my clothesline the other day, but we don't need to talk about that.
It was so much fun packing up all the cute little clothes and dropping them off for the mama-to-be!
Do you garage sale?
Have you scored any great finds this season?

SCORE! on that desk... and it looks like it's in perfect condition :)
Way to go, girl! I don't know how you managed to hang those sweet baby clothes on the line and not march immediately in the house and throw your BBT thermometer away. ;) What a sweet friend, you are, though!
Awesome desk, you sure can't beat those prices! My garage salin' days are few and far between. It's a lot of work dragging two kids in and out of the car for the frequent stops. :sigh:
I do garage sale and love it! Even Josh comes with me. I think my favorite find was a pretty decorative lamp I got for $5...and everybody always comments on it. ;-)
Great job on the desk. And those clothes are cutie!!
Wish we lived closer, it would be nice to have yard selling buddy!
So jealous of your find! We have a nice desk I use at home everyday, but I have been on the hunt for a nice, comfy chair to use when I'm working.
If I had the time I certainly would :)
