Yard Sale finds

Sunday, July 19, 2009
This past Thursday was Eva's 2 month check-up and first round of shots. Thankfully Nick took the day off from work and went with me, he was the calm one when Eva started screaming bloody murder when they did her shots. Later that afternoon Eva was real sleepy, so Nick stayed home with her and I took advantage of the free time and hit a few yard sales I had spotted when we were taking Eva to her appt.
I grew up going to yard sales, the salvation army, looking for the bargain rack, and wearing hand-me-downs. I'm not opposed to buying something used as long as its in good condition, and has a decent price. I found a whole bunch of stuff as you can see, all for Eva, and all for $7.35.

A lot of it she won't wear until next year, but I figure I should buy it now if I can find stuff at yard sales. People gave us so many clothes at baby showers, but none of it is really for when she is 1 year old and beyond.

This coat is probably my favorite find. It is practically brand new, but had some spots on it that looked like no one had even tried to get out! So some Tide w/ Dawn and a good soak later, and in a couple years Eva has an almost brand new coat for $1!!!!


I hadn't really been out to a yard sale in a long time, but was glad to find some good stuff.
