thrifty treasures 8.23

22 August 2010

I wasn’t planning on yard-sale-ing this weekend, but there was a big church yard sale not too far from our house, so my daughters and I went. I could tell it was going to be good because there was a long line waiting for it to open at 8. This is one I will mark on my calendar~everything was completely organized, great junk, low prices.

Cutest cash register ever! We have one we love from our Aunt Maryn, but it always seems to be a fight over who gets to play with it, or there are more than one “stores” set up in the playroom at any given time, so it will be good to have another one in the house… (.50)
