Garage Sale Goodies

So, a few weeks ago Dub and I got on a little garage sale binge... we made out like major bandits!

Our neighbor is a sales man at a local furniture store, and informed us of the store's "garage sale" for their scratch & dent items. He called Dub & suggested that we come down and check out the selections on the friday before the sale. The headboard and footboard below were on a wall that had a sign on it that said "all items on this wall $10!!!" I about fell out!

So we went back in the store, and ordered the rails that match the set! We got the entire deal for $79 and some change!!! Talk about super duper excited!!!

So, here is the Dubster putting together the awesome, super cool black sleigh bed frame! I cannot believe it!!!

Then... the next day, we hit a garage sale bright and early. I was not completely overwhelmed until the owner asked me what i was looking for and i mentioned a set of bunk beds for my boys. She said she knew they had 2 sets in storage, and that if i came back she would get them out for me!

So we left there after Dub purchased a few fishin' rods. We then stopped at another sell on our way home and found a practically new stand up deep freezer for $75! I have yet to snap a pic of that fine beauty so until i do, she will just sleep in her newly cleaned garage and freeze my roasted green chiles! (*that will be another post... hopefully sometime soon*)

Later that afternoon, the boys, Aunt Carolyn and I went back to see if they had dug out their bunk beds. I was very pleased to see the red metal bunk bed frame leaning against the fence. I agreed on $50 for the owner, and paid her $20 to hold it until we could come back the next morning to pick them up... as the Dubster had gone about his way that afternoon and would not be available.

As we were leaving, the ladies daughter perked up that her mom was also selling the wooden swingset in her backyard that the boys had played on each time we visited their garage sale that day. I said oh really!?! She said my boys were the only kiddos that had played on it in a long time, and that she had thought of me after we had left earlier that morning. So i asked the owner how much she would like to get for the set... she said $100!!! I thought are you kidding! Wooden sets are upwards of 350 or more with wood and all! I told her I would have to discuss it with the honey, but that I was greatly interested! We left quite excited!!!

So, the next morning, once dub and i agreed to add the swingset to the weekends purchases... we went back to their house so that he could look at the bunk beds. While there we negotiated a few more "small" items to add to our grand total! SO... I do not have pictures of the bunks in the boys room yet, because they are still leaning against the fence in OUR backyard. However, below are the pictures of our new, reasonably priced wooden swing set and one of the boys other favorite last minute adds from the weekends garage sale extravaganza!

This is what we like to call Fabulous Treasures!!!
