Garage Sale Season Has Officially Begun

It was only in the 30s, but I had a couple of friends that had researched out some garage sales, so I went along for the ride this morning.  We hit a bunch of duds and were starting to get a little discouraged until the very last one, and it was worth the wait.  It was an Estate Sale.  The family was selling everything from their mother's home.  This woman was a decorator, world traveler and also ran a daycare in her basement, so there were so many incredible things in this home. 

My mom served a mission in Japan many moons ago, and when we were little she had all kinds of really cool things from Japan.  Well, many moves and 5 children later most of her stuff has been ruined or pretty damaged, so I was really excited to come across a couple of Japanese dolls.  I called my mom right away to tell her about it.  This is the one I got for her.  I love the royal blue kimono. 

I also found a couple of great deals on books and toys for Nathan that will probably end up being birthday gifts.  My friends found crazy deals on plants, pictures, shelving and other toys. 

I love when you find an amazing garage sale.   It was a fun little morning.
