GST ~ 7/9/11

The other week, I posted about some treasures that my mom and I had found while out hitting up some yard sales.  I linked up to Carissa’s meme, and confessed that the whole yard sale thing really isn’t my deal (anymore). 

Yesterday morning, I was sitting in the living room enjoying the quiet that rarely occupies my house, drinking a cup of coffee with hazelnut creamer, and absorbing myself in a good book.  Then, my mom dropped by – she was out walking – and wanted to let me know that the neighbor up the street was having a yard sale and had boys’ 5-6 clothes for sale.  She left, and I went back to my reading.  I mean, after all, I was in my pj’s and hadn’t yet washed my hair.

About 15 minutes later, my mom was back.  She said something like “I’ll sit here while you go to that yard sale.”  LOL  So, I figured I didn’t have much choice – I threw on some clothes, and tried to tame my hair a bit (after all, this yard sale was right beside my hairdressers’ shop!)

I spent $11 and came home with some clothes to put back for Ian for winter and next summer:

3 pairs of size 6 jeans – 1 Levi’s and 2 Children’s Place
(all in GREAT shape, though it doesn’t matter because Ian has this habit of wearing holes in the knees of ALL of his jeans!)

Size 6 shorts – Children’s Place
(these look huge to me – if not next summer, the year after!)

2 long sleeved shirts

2 short sleeved shirts

 

and 1 shirt for now – because it was 50c and I thought it was cute!

Not bad for $11 and a walk up the street, right?
