I dragged my husband and kids out of bed, didn't even take time to make a cup of coffee...but that's ok the garage sale was sponsored by Starbucks Coffee.
They were giving away FREE coffee.
This wasn't just any garage sale...
this was over 300 garage sales in one place. Not to mention the homes having them were 5million dollar + homes.....
There was a lot of people there and parking was hard......but I was on a mission so I took out some white paint and painted the red curb...
We stopped on the first alley and Landen found this hat...."Please, Mommy!"
For 50cents we grabbed it and were on our way to hundreds of more alley's....
Watch out.... Mad mom on a mission. Loaded the two lil girls in the stroller and threw Landen on top of the stroller and rannnnnnn to the next alley (I'm not white trash, I just use my double stroller as a triple stroller, live in an RV and shop at garage sales) you know....but million dollar garages sales I might add:)
and Farrah just had to have these glasses...they were for sale for a dollar but the lady thought she was so cute she just gave them to her. She also threw in a purse to go with them. So fashion! Shhh...we won't tell anyone you got them in an alley!
You know when you see Juicy clothes with tags still on it for $1 you didn't wake up early for nothing!
I scored! I got TONS of things! Cute PediPed sandals for Farrah just .50cents! Lots of school books and much, much,much more!
In fact on Sunday we sported our findings around the Island..........

Just tell me when and ... I'm there. Too fun!!! Sounds like a good reason for a Road Trip to me. :)
Love all your great finds. White trash? I don't know ... getting pretty close. But, I have NEVER seen such a beautiful white trash family. So. Sorry. You don't qualify.
Hugs!

Now that looks like fun! What great finds you found. I will have to drag my husband and kids up sometime to go there. How did you find out about it? We LOVE Balboa. We always have a good time there.

You Just might have to actually pull me away from a sale like that, actually you would have to call the island security. That had to have been the BEST PLACE EVER TO GARAGE SALE AT!! Phew!

Love your garage sale items. Don't you just love a good deal.
