I love spring!  No more snow...lots of flowers, birds singing everywhere, and people selling their extra stuff for *CHEAP*!!!


I went garage saling yesterday and while I didn't really find any pony stuff (unless you count a Rarity from McD's), I did make out like a bandit!


I found a couple of old vintage plushies - a pluto from Disneyland dated around 1970, and a Little orphan Annie rag doll in mint condition from the 60's/70's.  Both were $1!  Also grabbed a bag of hotwheels and misc toys for my boys for $2.  In the bag I found four hotwheels from the 1960s, all in mint condition!  They might not be a gold mine, but they are worth more than what I paid for them, so I pulled them aside to ebay them later.


I also got a huge bag of clothes (we're talking big trash bag here) full of Abercrombie, Hollister, and American Eagle for $7!  Mind you, I'm not the type of person to pay for anything from those stores, but if I get it for $.50 an item, I'm all for it.   :blush:


I also picked up my husband an acoustic guitar for $25 - he's been wanting to try it out and teach himself so the price was right.  :thumb:


And lastly I found myself an authentic Coach handbag for $10(I've already done research on it)!  I swore I would never own one, as I think it's ridiculous to spend over $200+ on a bag, but for $10 I figured I could settle. 


All in all I had a wonderful time!  And once I ebay the vintage plushies, and hotwheels, I should break even.   :biggrin:   So tell me - what treasures did you find this weekend?

Wow, great finds! And what awesome deals! I nearly died of shock when I visited Hollister when browsing the mall one afternoon. You got some amazing prices. I'd love to see pictures of your loot!

None of my friends are collectors like me, and since I don't have a car, looking for garage sales really isn't feasible. Maybe when I go back home next week I can hit some up with my mom. Hopefully I can find some ponies!

Blimey! I can't wait for boot fair season to start over here, I always find so many goodies for the flat, and myself. I'm a bit like you cloud_weaver, I love label clothes but I can't always justify the pricetag! I usually find lots of nearly new stuff at boot fairs/charity shops so it's allright!

My latest find was a pair of huge mother of pearl buttons to go in my collection! At $0.65 they were a steal!

Wow, so lucky!  We had a neighborhood yard sale on Saturday and I only managed to make $50.  None of the neighbors really had anything worth buying, either.
