Treasure Hunting

I love yard saling. Note: thrift store shopping can also be included in this. There's just something about searching for exactly what you need and finding it for pennies. Just before yard saling season begins, I start to compile a list of things we need (not instantaneously) and hold off on purchasing them in hopes of finding them at a yard sale. Since the beginning of May, I've been going every Friday morning with some of my dear friends. The season started off kind of rough, with "yard sales" we found being barely more than a single pile of old clothes thrown out on a tarp. Last weekend though was the cream of the crop thus far, scoring multiple items on my checklist. Even my husband was impressed! Here is the bounty:
7 vintage beaded necklaces (for future craft project): $1 for all
pinking shear scissors: $1
full canister of butane fuel: .25
vintage heavy duty iron: .75
brand new badminton set: $4
coleman quick pump: .50

total: 7.50 for all
