6 new bed pillows ( yes, still in plastic bags) .25 cents each!!
2 white chenille pillow shams .50 cents for the pair.
broken whirlpool washer- free( we took this to the junk yard and got $14.00 for it)
4 1/2 ft. prelit tree- free
Total spent this weekend(minus the 14.00 i got for the washer)- $11.20!!! woohoo!!
The recycling center was on my way home so it didn't cost me any extra in gas.
I am planning on using the fleece square rag quilts as christmas gifts. I have a couple friends who are sewers and think they would love getting one of these to put together.
The down comforter and pillows are going on my bed this winter. Yes, I love primitives but am thinking of doing a winter theme with whites and creams in there.
The free prelit tree will be used as a project for our hospital's,"Wonderland of Trees", auction.
(now, I just have to decorate it. lol)
Did you find any bargains this weekend?

  3. Wow, I love your blog. You and everyone else always gets these great finds at yard sales. I really need to get out and do that more often.

    I love your soap recipe. I'm going to make sure some of my friends see this. They'll love it. I hope you don't mind, I'm adding you to my blogroll.

    Oh, almost forgot. I really did mean to add the pet peeve you talked about. Had a situation at a McDonald's drive thru that almost sent me over the edge. Young kids just do not know how to acknowledge customers anymore.
    Some day I will do an updated P&P!
