Yard Sale Frenzy.

For those of you who don't know, my hubby and I bought a new house a little less than a year ago. Until this point, I really didn't know that home decor items were so expensive, even if you primarily shop at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls!

So, I obtained a new hobby this summer...Yard Sales! At first, I was a little intimidated about bargaining with people and did several "drive bys." But as time went on, I started to get pretty good at it! I even brought the husband and dog along; however, most of the time they waited patiently in the car for me!

I just wanted to share some of the GREAT deals I was able to get this summer...

Christmas Wreath from Restoration Hardware- $3
I think I'll need to add some pizazz!

Aside from the color, this dresser is a great height and is solid wood!

Dresser- $10
I'm thinking and ivory color w/ an antiqued finish.

Pottery Barn Picture Frame- $2

This little thing is so cute, and it was brand new in the box!

I'm sure you recognize those red clearance stickers!!!
Target Wall Sconces- $2/each
Originally $19.99/each

End Table- $5
I haven't decided what color I'm going to paint it, yet!

Bathroom Light Fixture- $3
Do you know how much these stupid things cost at Lowe's or Home Depot?
I thought it would be perfect for our master bath.

Pottery Barn Tray- $2
I agreed to buy this little beauty before even noticing the sticker on the bottom.
Retail: $69

Pottery Barn Shams (2)- $1
Although my husband doesn't really care for the pattern, I thought I'd put them
in the guest bedroom. Then, he doesn't have to see them!!

Faux flowers- $1
Now, I just need a vase to put them in.

Lamp Bases- $10 (set)
Now, I think I paid a little too much for these, but they originally were asking $10/each!

Baskets (2)- $4

Mosaic Lamp- $3

Glassware (24 pieces)- $5

Tower Fan w/remote- $3

Basket w/hinged lid- $4
This was a perfect size to hold my blankets in my living room!

I also thought of the husband too when I was hitting up the yard sales...

Paintball gun and gear- $10
I took a shot in the dark, but the gun retails for $100.

VT comforter- $5
I wouldn't have normally paid this much for it; however, it was a church rummage sale!

The Perfect Push-up- $1

Total Spent- $76

I had a BLAST this summer! It's funny how I was even willing to give up some sleep on Saturday mornings in order to not miss the deals! I can't wait for the fall sales! Is anyone else as excited as I am about an item they scored at a yard sale?
