we actually went to a few yard sales before we got to the meet and we may have spent more at the yard sales this week! lol i think DH thought there was something wrong when we saw one of my favorite vendors selling and HE bought the only thing from her this time!! LOL
But we did manage to find a few $3.00 bargains at the first yardsale!
Like the PRETTY gold chain, black beaded cuff, green glass bead bracelet and a SHREDDING scissors (of all things lol) and this LOVELY Christmas banded watch!!
at the next yardsale, we only got this AWESOME set of dishes for five bucks!!
and the last yardsale, we bought these glass beads (with foil designs) for $7.00
and a few of these for two dollars each! they were each missing a drawer of two, but will serve the purpose for us (either jewelry findings or ROCKS!! lol)
we only brought home these two, since a neighbor of ours got there soon after us and asked if he could have one and we gave it to him. :) i made sure THOSE drawers were empty since all three of the storage things we bought, had quite a few of the drawers filled with some real goodies in them like jewelry findings, crimping beads, silver beads, real turquoise chunks and jewelry wire...it went on & on with goodies!! all these were BONUS! and the funny thing was, the husband there who was selling, pointed it out to me that they were filled! lol
and a drawer even had some more of these glass & foil beads.
and from the swapmeet we got these little jars from our book guy (AND NO BOOKS for a change! hehe )
i felt like we splurged a bit on this tote filled with ribbons, lace, various craft
things, for five dollars but we got the tote WITH lid!! BONUS! lol
and finally, yes, you heard me lol i told you we didn't get much...lol...i found this Egyptian gown that the daughter was selling.
take a wild guess at how much i paid?!! ......................................Only
TWO dollars!!!!! Can you believe that?!! heck, if i wear it only as a Halloween costume, it's worth it!! but it's too PRETTY to disrespect. :)
That's it from me tonight. DH and i got in the pool after not getting in for two weeks, it was sooo REFRESHING! but it tires us old folks out too! lol like little kids, we will sleep GOOD tonight! hehe
thank you so much for sharing this time!! HUGS!! i will see you tomorrow! :D

You outdid yourself today! That Egyptian-style dress looks brand new! It's lovely!
Of course I love the beads and jewelry. Foiled beads are so expensive, you got a deal on that whole sack of them for only $7.
Glad you got to spend time in the pool. I know, it wears me out somehow, too. But I haven't been swimming in gosh, seven years I guess...it was 102 here today so I sure wish I had a pool!!!
For some reason those scissors would call me too. I think it is because my kitchen ones are trashed and I need a new pair. The kids always want the tags cut out of their shirts!! Silly kids but I guess they are easily annoyed. Nice find on the beads!! They are lovely. :)
Have a great day and KEEP COOL!!!! Please!!!
