I love love love yard sales. You can find so many bargains. The bad thing is you might buy a lot of junk you don't really need.
Last week, I was dog sitting Fritz and on one of his walks, I saw two yard sales. I only bought two items; one from each house.
The first is this storage stool. You can sit on it....
Sit on me!
... and you can put stuff in it. Ingenious! I demand that all stools be made this way from now on!
My tools, fishing tackle, crafts stuff and other odds and ends.
The cover was not blue when I bought it. It had this stitching of birdhouses or something. I didn't like it so I replaced it with blue velvet (I could not find purple). It took me all afternoon to sew and glue everything in. I added the stickers of the frogs too because I thought it would make it cuter inside. Oh, I haven't mentioned how much I paid for it. I paid 5 dollars for it! CAD 5!
The other thing I bought was this pair of ice skates.
Brand Spanking New
They're actually for figure skating but I figure I could use them for casual skating too. They look so nice too. I tried them on and they were perfect. Guess how much I paid for them. Two dollars. Dua ringgit. 两快钱.
I love yard sales. People here sell things they don't need anymore for dirt cheap prices. Unlike some people I know who hold on to junk they can't use until it rusts and become useless to everyone. Anyways, yard sales help everyone. Everyone wins. :D
