Spring is my favorite season for a variety of reasons, one of which is the start of garage sale season. I absolutely love garage sales! They are full of interesting treasures and good deals. You get to peak into someones' past and their throwbacks could be your treasures. The only down side is you need to get up a little early to get the really good stuff!
Another bonus of spring is when people are too lazy to have a garage sale they often put good stuff out for the trash or free on their lawn. I have be known to flip U-turns or make Sean turn the car around to go back and investigate. On my way back from Robyn's on Sunday I did just that. I saw what appeared to be a perfectly good child gate out for the trash. Upon further investigation it seemed to be in working order so I stuck it in the back of the Beetle and took it home. This behavior has been known to embarrass some people however I just consider myself thrifty!
Tune in for more good finds or junk depending on your point of view!
