Broke car and still bargains!

Hi again! i sure hope you are having a GREAT weekend! it started out a bit rough for us but we made it through, thanks to friends!! Friday night DH's explorer blew the water pump. DS had to go to work Saturday morning, we had to find a way, sheesh, who is going to want to get up so early to get him there by 7am!?! Thankfully our friends are swapmeeters too and DO get up early on a Saturday morning!! so we call them and after a few tries, finally get ahold of them!
They have no problem getting here by 6:30 am so he can get to work on time! YAY!! so we drop him off and all of us go get some breakfast! after breakfast we head off to the swapmeet for a quick go through before our male friend, of the couple, helps DH with this pump. we wind up going to a few yard sales too, on the way to our house and what bargains we got! Then we finally get home and the guys work on the car while the gals stay inside & listen to music and chat!
it took quite a while to complete the job but LUCKILY the guy who helped, had done this before on his own explorer, when he had one. DH has worked on cars most of his life but not these newer ones so this guy's help was SOOOOOOOO APPRECIATED!! Then to top it off, they hung around,making sure DH's car worked to pick up DS!!! HUGS to them and i did, a FEW times!!!! :)
OH, i wanted to share a quick picture of the swapmeet, the tailgaters section, where they set up tables or blankets and sell. the other part of this place is basically permanent vendors who have small cabin type shops. it's really a GREAT place just for the people. Now onto some bargains! heheh

There was even a band there this Saturday, and here is a shot of one of those cabin type stores too! :)

This was two dollars.

These were a dollar total.

These candle stands hold a small tea light candle and stand about 16 inches tall and they came with a matching mirror that is about a foot square.

and the mirror. total for ALL was just five bucks!

another chicken for two dollars.

i LOVE these heart bowls for three bucks!!

and my cast iron pig bank for two dollars!

this little girl stands about 14 inches & was four dollars! isn't she cool!?! :)

a butterfly that stands about 6 inches was two dollars.

this dress was a buck!!!

it's a pretty skinny dress and i gained about 40 lbs, not sure if i will squeeze into it! lol
and what weekend would be complete without books for 50 cents each!?!

This will end our swapmeet bargains but i do have some yard sale goodies to share too!
but LATER! hehe i got to have SOMETHING to blog about tomorrow! lol
oh that place is AMAZING! it knocks me out how some people price things TO GO! lol
but just wait til you see the rest! lol who doesn't love a bargain!?!
well, i should cut this short since my DS wants to get on and DH is using the other computer for ebay (selling NOT buying lol)! i sure have enough to read though so i will say goodnight and thank you so very much for visiting! big HUGS!! Have a BEAUTIFUL evening! :)
