Garage Sales in Hibernation for the Year

Lately it seems like garage sales have gone into hibernation for the year (at least in my town) and I haven't been thrifting much of late either. I just have too much stuff and Christmas is fast approaching so my time is better spent listing things in my shop rather than being out and buying more. The searching & buying is probably the best part though! Although it is a small thrill to see that something has sold and will go to someone who will enjoy it. :) 

Since I haven't really done any thrifting to report on this week, I'll do some catch-up reporting. There was a week I haven't talked about yet (one of those weeks where I didn't have a computer). I believe this was weekend of the 8th/9th of October. All my finds this time were from garage sales! I love going to garage sales - usually the prices are way better than the thrift stores. At three different garage sales I found the following items: 

The Pound Puppies, dinosaur hat/sweatshirt pattern, vintage valentines and Fisher Price popper car came from one garage sale, the two California Raisins from another and the rest came from last sale. I will probably be keeping the two games as the Rivers, Roads and Rails is a family favorite (with my parents and sisters) and the Enchanted Forest I tried out with my family the last time we visited and it was a super fun game (and it had all the pieces)! 

I do love these old Fisher Price Happy Apples - the chiming sound is just so nice!
