This past Saturday my husband came back from walking our dog and was so excited to tell me about a garage sale he had passed that was selling all baby stuff. He claimed that everything was in good condition and a good brand. Now, I’ve known my husband for 11 years and often times our definition of “good condition” can vary- – drastically. He’ll wear a shirt with a hole in it and claim it’s “in good condition” because it just came back from the cleaners. Ha!
Anyway, so some friends and I went to check out his claims. Lo and behold, he was right! There was a sweet family who had 1-year-old triplets and were already weeding out their baby items! (wow, she’s on top of it!) Many things I didn’t need like, a boppy, a Bumbo, a Nap Nanny but one thing I HAD to have was an adorable Mini Boden dress I’ve had my eye on from the catalog. My friends all stocked up on PB Kids hooded towels, Chicco Car Seats, adorable clothes and toys. We were all so excited- partly because we all get wrapped up in a good deal (nevermind that one friend bought a carseat and isn’t even pregnant!) but also because everything was in such great condition. It reminded me of how much fun garage sales can be and it’s a great way to try out some new toys for Halle. Who can pass up a Lakeshore rattle for $1?
I’ll be using this site to aid in my new springtime weekend hobby- garage sale-ing!
um, yeah, I’d definitely call that a jackpot! A nap nanny in a garage sale and Pottery Barn hooded towels? Wow!
