Portable blue Brother Deluxe Typewriter $3

"I lucked out on this one." I was going to a Church thrift store after I had finished my garage sales. Outside of the church was a pile of donations that had just been dropped off. I noticed the little blue case and un-zipped it to see what was inside. Once I seen the typewriter I carried it into the church to ask one of the ladies in charge how much they wanted for it. I also told her there was boxes of donations sitting outside. (The 3 woman working there are elderly and are all very sweet.) The thrift store in the building is up a few flights of stairs. The woman told me they would like $5 for the typewriter. I told her I would think about it and continued to look around. When one of the ladies saw all the donations she asked Mr. Coco if he could help bring them up. He did and when I went to pay for the stuff I had found they told me they would only charge me $3 for the Brother Deluxe because of Mr. Coco's help.

~Best find of the weekend~

Light up magnification makeup mirror!

I have wanted one of these for close to a year. But they are pricey and I didn't want to splurge on a round piece of glass that lights up and enlarges my pores. I had it on my Christmas list but then Cancelled it out because I wanted Dior Cherie perfume more.

Sometimes it pays to wait..... I paid $2 for this mirror at a Seniors home sale and now it will sit on my vanity table Hazel and help me with my makeup and my eyebrow plucking.

I found these brand new ruffled bottoms at Salvation army for $2 a pair.

(Original price of $6.50 each)

Linking up with Lakota's ta-dah! tuesday

 I had such a fun weekend. My saturday was full of garage sales and Sunday there was a community garage sale listed for a little country town about a 30 minute drive away.

Mr. and I went saling and found a few things and then went to a lake side park.

The water is high here because of spring run-off and we just ended a flood watch.

I wanted to ride the frog... but I could not get to him safely.

Mr. & I

*Weeee*

I rode this exact duck when I was about 9 or 10

I am glad they still have the old playground equipment and have not replaced it with the plastic junk.

Cute or Demented??? TELL ME!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Do you have some time?

To look at my garage sale finds of the week?

 This is my favorite find. A 1950s alarm clock

("It still ticks when you wind it up and had a rather "ALARMING" ring.) I will admit I spent a little more on this item than usual.

The clock cost me $10.

 Real shell compact / trinket box 0.25 cents.

( I looked them up on Etsy and the cheapest was $8 most expensive $24)

 Glass table lighter $2 (I have a weakness for these, this one is my third)

"Uh-oh they say once you have three you have a collection"

 Pink flower bangle 0.50 cents

 Mouse pad & coasters $1 (I have not bought a new mouse pad in I don't know how long. My past three have all been purchased brand new from yard sales for super cheap!

 White fat lava triangle vase 0.75 cents

 Plastic buck figurine 0.25 cents (He is going to drive my cute plastic doe's nuts!)

 These Lavender trellis's are so cute! I just finished planting my flowers this week but didn't purchase much vines because I didn't want them crawling all over randomly. Looks like I will have to go get some now as my trellis's are lonely.

$2 for both

 Vintage blue suitcase in great condition

$2

(The inside)

 Horseshoes $1 (I have been wanting to find some horseshoes since the beginning of last year garage sale season. FINALLY my patience paid off. And even though the Mr. and I had a LONG day.. we played a game this evening. He won the score was 15 - 11.)

 The Mr. bought these 6 books the dates are two 1952, 1953, two 1954s & a 1958

They are in such good condition I imagine they sat stored in a box for most of their lifetime.

$4 for all six

Do I ever NOT buy toys??

NOOOOOOO!

 All pieces accounted for price sticker $40 we paid $5

 *Says a little prayer that the future children REALLY like Mr. Potato head*

 Spud Buds! Look at the corn *hahah* "I actually got embarrassed at the sale I was at when I seen this. Because the seller was sitting where I could not see her, so I thought they were just inside the house....

I spotted the Spud buds and was like " OMG THERE IS A CORN AND A CARROT... look (To the Mr.) They are Mr. Potato's friends...."  I then heard a giggle and finally noticed the seller in her chair laughing at my excitement. So I said "As you can tell I love toys!" And she said "That's okay so do I"

I then said "I don't even have kids yet... when I do I will probably be fighting with them over toys" She also confessed she didn't have kids either... "WOOHOO I am not so strange.." Okay maybe I am!

 We stopped at a thrift shop after garage saling. I spotted Hamtaro ... I could NOT leave him behind. Not with those eyes!

$1

Japanese cartoons have the cutest characters.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
