Celebrating my garage sale finds


 Finally after weeks of wanting a Sombrero I found one I didn't deem to pricey.
Two weeks ago I saw one at a yard sale priced for $10 (It was brown) the week after I came across a black one for $15 *eeep* too high for my yard sale funds! (I only bring $25 dollars to spend each week) This past Sat I went to a yard sale where a man had not one but two Mexican Sombreros for $5 each. *woohoo* I bought the green, now I wish I had bought the red too. It was a bit dusty from storage soooo... I vacuumed it. How many people vacuum sombreros on a Saturday afternoon? *smile*

 I picked up the maracas a couple sales later for $0.50 cents from a friendly old couple who had a black and white shih tzu doggie.

 If your wondering about my purchases I will be happy to explain I like Mexican stuff. I love the food (*mmm*), I like the clothing and Mexican decor. I even like Mexican people like Dora fromVintage Passiones Just like Mine. Maybe she can make me a Honorary Mexican!

Cute Donkey  .25 cents


Huge Shopper .50 cents This big bag now sits in the vehicle waiting to be loaded up with my garage sale & thrift purchases.
