Today was the local area yard sale day, and I was fortunate enough to score some prime real estate to sell the things collecting dust in my house! (Thanks to CH for letting me share her driveway!) I started super early, literally scavenging the closets and cabinets of my house for things to sell.My goal was to sell everything I could, with the leftover items going to Goodwill, and possibly finding a cake stand. I've been browsing cake stands for a while now online, but I couldn't find an adorable one that I really wanted for a good price.
Well, today I scored big time! Not only did I make $150 and sell nearly all of my items, but CH was selling an ADORABLE cake stand and gave it to me for FREE. It's so cute and retro.
I know I talked before about wanting a new kitchen trash can, which I was saving for by couponing when I grocery shop. Well, on my way home from the yard sale I bought one! Contrary to popular belief, nice trash cans do NOT come cheap. I bought a Canopy brand one at Wal-Mart, stainless steel, and I love it. It was totally worth the money I paid, and I have plenty left over to cover my groceries for the upcoming weeks.
Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Cally likes the new trashcan. :)
