Time for the neighborhood sales to begin around here…..and April will be a prime month too.
There really wasn’t all that much at the sales to show you, nothing too exciting, like neat furniture or old vintage things, so here’s a spring pic of blooming trees. This is a very nice neighborhood and Spring is here even if it was cloudy on this morning. I just love this time of year.
Blooms galore and nothing beats jumping out of bed, throwing on some sweats and hitting a big neighborhood sale! I didn’t spend too much, but had fun.
So, of course I did manage to find a few little things to take home. Seashells and clothes were the finds of the day this time. This whole jar of shells was $2.
And all these in the bowl and out were 10 cents. I think I might have enough seashells for now.
Cute little bunny dish was 50 cents. You know I could not pass him up. He looks right at home with my Bordallo bunnies. This would be a great sugar dish.
I‘m always on the lookout for more workout clothes since I seem to be in them most everyday. This nearly new sports bra was $1.00.
Parisian linen shirt was $1.00. See how much I like lime green, it’s all over my closet too.
And another cute short-sleeved green top with a drawstring waist was $1.00. This one is by Ruff Hewn. These prices are better than shopping consignment.
I always need more sweatshirts. This pretty blue one by Russell was in great condition, is a soft heavyweight cotton and will be perfect with my yoga pants for $1.00.I just love NOT paying retail!
So, I guess you’ve all noticed my new banner?! I’m proud to say that I did it myself. If you’re looking for some free photo software to play around with, try Picasa and Photo Filtre. You can download both of them for free. I used Picasa for the collage of photos, then saved it and went to Photo Filtre for the borders and text. It was fun! I didn’t have any idea what I was doing, but I played with it until it worked and I was happy with it. I think it’s a fresh new look for my banner!
I can’t wait to share what I did on Saturday with you. Just call me part-time floral design assistant!
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
I love seeing what people buy at sales and how much they paid for them!
You did great!
Rhonda, I want to thank you for the referral to the photo websites. I was finally able to make a collage. I cannot figure out the borders though. I will keep trying.

Don’t you just love getting out on a spring morning and hitting the sales?
I meant to comment on your banner last time and totally forgot! It looks just great! Everything is so pretty all in bloom. We had a few yardsales in our neighborhood the week before so I guess it’s that time again!

Hi Rhoda,
Love your shells. I lvoe your new banner. And thanks for the info on how to do it. I love learning new things like this.
Rhoda, I love that blouse…that is so cute and you will really enjoy wearing it this season.
I’ve been so busy at work that I haven’t had time for yard sales yet. 🙁 Of course, that saves me a little money, too!
I love, love your new banner. You are so smart! It is very pretty and very “you”. 🙂
Hi Rhoda…If it ever stops raining here in WA I think the yardsales will start…I am waiting….LOVE all your finds…especially the clothes!
Hugs,
Robin

Oh a girl after my own heart! I love a bargain and I love a yard/garage sale. They are so much fun. I loved the seashells, too. But the blooming trees, the pictures are just out of this world!
