Here is what I came away with! Now, this is from the past 2 weekends, so it wasn't just one amazing day. I did get the little green beat up table and can't wait to show you how it turned out. I also caved and got that baby swing, but now am having second thoughts. Do I really need a deluxe swing like that? All of my other kids have gotten along fine with just the basic back and forth one. I'm thinking I may just Craigslist it and be more happy with the money. What do you think?
I did not get the bed, either. {sniff} It was a full size, I don't have a place for it right now, and as I was debating back and forth in my mind, a lady came up and said she wanted the bed. That made me want it even more. I've learned at yard sales to go with your first instinct, say you'll take it, walk around and look some more and think it through and you can always change your mind. Oh well. There are plenty of other things that I could have gotten, but I am really trying to be a good girl and stay in our budget with my money and not have my house too cluttered. Notice I said *too*~I'm afraid my husband might ban me from yard sales if I bring home any more "projects"! I feel like I need to take advantage of these yard sales before the winter drought comes though.. Okay, enough rambling! On to the other treasures:

Big glass antique jar: $1
Some Christmas goodies: .25 for the greenery, $1 for the cute ball lights, and $1 for the white berry wreath garland thing.
* the fall purse! I am loving it. It's the perfect size for me and has all the right compartments $1
* the cutest lantern lamp you ever saw for my boys' room $1
* some cute shabby chic light blue Kenzie wedges $2
* a soft light blue throw for our room $1
* can you see the empty frame with the hooks on the floor? The lady said she used to have a mirror in it, but it broke, so she sold the frame for $2. I'm thinking in our makeshift mudroom as a bulletin board...
* cute green bulletin board with some nasty fabric that will be replaced ASAP: .25
*vintage (they're not super old, but old enought to look old, lol) silver balls: $1
* an old baseball: .25 (I love finding these!)

So, my grand total for everything in these pictures is $17
Little green table: $3
Deluxe aquarium swing that I'm still debating about: $15
Total: $35 I'm thinking if I sold the swing, I could have it all paid for....
