It was a beautiful day and I couldn't wait to start looking. The field was jam packed with bargain hunters.
I was not disappointed. These ornaments looked brand new and I got them all for $3.50. It was funny because the colorful box of bulbs was tagged at $1.50. I was about to pay for it and the woman smiled at me and said it was supposed to be a dollar. What could I do? I bought two boxes. Because my sister-in-law and niece are both going to have to work on Thanksgiving, we decided to have Thanksgiving later on Saturday. After all, it's not the day that's important, it's the family you're thankful to be spending it with.
Now that I've got my ornaments, I told Art I'd like to put up the tree a tad earlier than usual....like today? Being a very nice and flexible husband, he said, "Sure."
The good thing about the garage sale is a lot of stuff ended up not being put in the dump, at least for now.
ReplyDeleteCool! So your tree is up? You should show us the finished product.
ReplyDeleteYou got a really good deal on those ornaments!
I usually put my tree up on Dec. 8th. It´s a holiday here and I have time for it.
We've moved holidays and birthdays too; you're right, it's the family that's important!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the deals you got at the mega-yardsale! I love new Christmas ornaments but always buy them when they're clearanced in January; they're so expensive otherwise.
Have a wonderful time putting up your tree and with your family this week!
Oh, I envy you that yard sale! There's nothing I like more than finding a good bargain, especially if I actually NEED the item. Happy Thanksgiving, Kay.
