What a deal!!

My older sister, Michelle, is QUEEN of finding a great deal. She knows where all the best rummage sales are, knows how much to pay for items and can even help price the "treasures" you are wanting to let go of (but not give away) at your own rummage sale. It truly is an talent. I have been learning from her these last few months. She bought Faith at least 10 pieces of name-brand, practically new clothes for only $8 total!!! Before this, I thought $8 for a pair of jeans at Target was a bargain! She has inspired me and thus I have to share my biggest "find" from a neighborhood rummage sale I participated in a few weeks ago.....
I bought this playhouse for $20. It retails brand new for $150. There were a few crayon marks on it but Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser took those off and now you can't even tell it was used!
Needless to say, Faithy LOVES her "new house"

The doorbell has 6 different rings and is her favorite part of the house.

You know how I feel about garage sale deals. I was equally excited about your $20 playhouse and I'm glad Faith loves it!

I always start out with good intentions going to garage sales, but quickly run out of steam. One of my best finds was a sand box for my nephews for 3$. When I bought it I still drove my mustang. I wedged it in the trunk and crossed my fingers it wouldn't fly out. It is not too often you see a red mustang going down the road with a turtle sandbox hanging out the back.
I sure have been thinking of you. I know it is getting close to baby time. It is a good thing Faith has become such a daddy's girl!! That will help when baby number 2 arrives. Looking forward to that day as I know you are too.
