Recent Goodwill and yard sale finds


My $14 Goodwill/yard sale haul from last week

A few days ago I hit Goodwill and a yard sale in search of mainly things for my diaper-sewing project I last posted about. For around $14 I got all the stuff in this photo plus a few more things:

Flannel sheet, $3

Four large men's T-shirts in very gently used condition, 50 cents each, $2 total

Dress for my daughter, $3

Baggie of sewing essentials like thread, needles, elastics, thimble, etc., $2

Yarn, crochet hook, and a beautiful strip of a crochet something that my daughter loves as a stole, $2

Bible with tabs for all the books, $1

Brand new (of course) Estee Lauder lip gloss and matching (somehow) Avon nail polish, 50 cents each, $1 total

What a haul! I had hoped to find more sewing supplies at Goodwill but they were rather low the other day. I was thrilled with the flannel sheet, though.

I just love Goodwill and all the great yard sales around here. They are held every single weekend here where we live now. You can get a lot of very gently used items for very little money, and that sure helps!

I was just reading your blog about your recent yard sale finds and I followed your reference on diaper sewing. My wife is in her 32nd week and she's been talking about using cloth diapers. I think we will try it. Also just wanted to recommend a great site for a free online garage sale.

Thanks and Keep up the bloggin'

I'm impressed. Especially with the whole bag of sewing stuff and the pretty dress. You always find the best stuff @ inexpensive prices.
