They had OLD SCHOOL Garage Sale Prices!!! @thehomeschoolingpicker

Introduction

It was a bright Friday morning, and the excitement was palpable as we geared up for a day filled with garage sales. Eager to hunt down some treasures, we were already at our first stop, marveling at the variety of items strewn around the garage.

As we browsed through the boxes, we marveled at a collection of pretty ceramic tiles, and shortly after, we stumbled upon several Christmas decorations. It was nostalgic to see the ornaments that reminded us of ones we had acquired recently.

Among the items, a signed and numbered piece by Patricia Swain caught our eye—it was a carousel-themed artwork limited to 500 pieces, making it a unique find. We also came across quaint vintage decorations, some MCM (Mid-Century Modern) items, and even an intriguing metal sculpture that had been crafted with a playful design.

The atmosphere was jovial as we examined items like the curious George plush, various blankets, and a very unique handcrafted jumping jack from Milford, Michigan. We spotted a vintage UK flag that the seller was keeping—a testament to its uniqueness.

Just as the day progressed, we finally made some decisions. We found a charming Noah’s Ark ornament set for a mere $ 2, alongside the intricately designed carousel pieces, optimistically priced at $ 10 each. After some negotiation and ensuring we had enough change, we snagged our deals.

As the temperature began to rise, it was a hot 96°F in the forecast, leading us to consider our next destination. With garage sales dwindling due to the heat, we made our way to Goodwill, hopeful for a more bountiful haul.

Upon entering, we quickly spotted various designer items like a Coach purse and a Kate Spade bag. The Coach purse, appearing to be in good condition, was priced surprisingly low at $ 9.99, almost too good to be true. However, we also came across a few odds and ends, like a whimsical hand-carved wooden trinket.

While we browsed, we kept our excitement tempered, knowing the previous garage sales had been more fruitful. Still, we were determined not to leave empty-handed.

Ultimately, we left Goodwill pleased, especially after making some solid finds that included a Howard Miller clock, stylish purses, and a charming little bug-themed trinket box that we knew would capture the interest of our fellow trinket lovers.

Overall, despite the slow garage sale day, the treasures we found were more than satisfactory—and we prepared to tackle more sales the following Saturday.
