Today I was really excited to go out and find some good deals. One of the large communities in my area was having their fall community yard sale. I drove around for half an hour and went to about a dozen garage sales with zero luck. Then I stumbled upon a little gold mine. At first I glanced around and was about to walk off because it was a "boy" garage sale. It was also a "just get rid of it" garage sale. AKA mom was no where in sight and dad was just supposed to get rid of everything! ha! I browsed through the toys and was surprised to find some great toys that had barely been touched. The guy kept telling me he would give me a deal to just take all of the toys if I wanted! However there were a TON so I asked if I could fill a storage container and then figure out payment once I had picked things out.
I managed to fill it all the way with toys, a few straw sippy cups, and a little Ralph Lauren dress {that he told me just to take and he wasn't charging me! ha!} I also snagged a rockabye Caterpillar rocker. Once I had gathered all of my little finds I asked if he would take $10 and he said sure! I was tickled to get everything for that price. {Plus a new storage container with lid!} The rocker alone retails for $120!
I can now happily report that I have all of Emma Claire's birthday presents! I think she is going to love all of her new toys and go nuts for her rocker.
See, it only takes one. In the middle of all of the other garage sales I just needed to find that ONE good one!
