My most favorite find this Saturday

Well, if I'm totally honest, the Liberty Lake community garage sale was a bust.  I had the intentions of buying 1 year's worth of clothes for both of my kiddos.  I walked away with 2 pairs of sweats and a hat, yikes!

However, it was not a TOTAL bust.  I spotted this granite table and 2 solid oak chairs while all of us (8 family members) were getting a little cranky.  They wanted $100, but my wonderful mother-in-law bought it for me, as an early birthday present, for $80.  It's super heavy and really pulls our kitchen together.  I can't tell you how much I love it!!  It's bigger than our kitchen nook, that I really didn't like in the first place, but it fit the bill (free and small).  We just need 1 more wood chair...currently I'm sitting on the Costco special aka camping folding chair ;)  It appears these table retail for $500+

Did you find anything note-worthy while thrifting or g-saleing recently?

Friday finds

I didn't have any intention of going garage saleing this morning, but The Hubbs handed me the garage sale section of the newspaper and I started looking.  I found a retiring teacher garage sale where I spent $7.  We are going to homeschool and her ad stated that most of everything would be $.25.  I went there first and this is what I got!
 6 Geoboards, 2 rulers, 1 box of dice, 4 sets of flash cards, 10 books, 1 box of crayons and 2 packs of stickers!

I then hit a sale about a block from home and got a cute green tank top and a baby doll for Miss A, $2/both.  I saw a Helly Hansen jacket for sale for $12 and it was my size, but I didn't have $12.  When I was done my hubby called and I mentioned it to him.  He was out giving a painting bid and swung back home.  He had bought it for me!  It's an early birthday present and I'm so excited to get it.  I think I may take it along tonight to Car d'Lane.

It appears to be the Anchorage model and retails for $125
