Thrifty Thursday #220

We haven't had too many yard sales around here lately-

probably due to the all the rains we've had this year.

I do believe we are way ahead on our average rainfall.

I did, however, get to go to an estate sale this past weekend.

It was in a nearby town, so I just assumed it was a hop, skip, and jump away.

 (Geography is not my strong suit.)

My hubby took me and it actually took us about 30 minutes to get there.

 (Turns out it was quite a few hops away:)

You're probably wondering if it was worth the drive.

Well, since I'm blessed to have a hubby/best friend who truly enjoys going with me to these secondhand sales, I'd have to say that it was worth it- even if we hadn't found anything.

But we did find a couple of things- or actually I did.

He looked, but didn't see anything that he wanted

I loved this old school desk from the first time I laid eyes on it- even though it was extremely dirty and covered in cobwebs from years of sitting in a barn.

It was marked $15 and everything was half off the marked price.

I wasn't sure if I wanted it for $7.50 since I already have two of these desks at home.

I offered $5 and the lady said she'd take it.

Well, for that price, I couldn't just leave it there, could I?

I also got these two old yardsticks for $1.50 each.

I'm wanting to get quite a few of these for a project.

That's it. I only spent $8.

Two good finds, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

The Lord is high above all nations,

His glory above the heavens.

Psalm 113:4
