Picking! And a bit of shopping...

What a lovely morning I've had! I was afraid that with our recent rain showers I wouldn't find any goodies on today's hunt. I was happily proven wrong!
Lots of great Kellogg's codes!! TONS of shipping materials, envelopes!! I NEVER pay for shipping materials, other than packing tape.
A huge poster frame and back. I'm thinking to repaint it. Not sure what I'll put in it... Might just make it cute and sell it. Stay tuned!
A bunch of great books, one of which is worth about $50 used!!! That book alone, when it sells, will make the adventure profitable!

Junkin!'

My husband has been finding all kinds of goodies at thrift stores lately that we have successfully sold online for awesome profits! I decided it was high time I got in on the action! I hopped over to "Junk In My Trunk," here in Spanish Fork. The lady who runs the store, Tina, helped me find things I wouldn't necessarily have thought to look for. I ended up spending a bit of time there, searching every nook and cranny. I found some real treasures! Not only that, Tina has this on going great deal where you fill a bag with nearly anything in the store for just $5 plus tax!!! You can get amazing deals if you'll just make a bit of time in your schedule for digging!
Here's what I found:
Kids tap and ballet shoes in really nice condition!
A Walt Disney movie catalog from 1981, the very year I was born!
Airwalk sandals for me!
An unopened car phone charger.
A box of nursing pads.
An Italian leather wallet.
Several fast food collectible toys.
A nice wooden frame.
An internet modem.
All of this for just $5 plus tax!! I'll be hitting it up once a week and several other small thrift shops! I suggest you do the same!!! :)

Bust Out the Clorox!!

Hey kids! De-junking time is in full swing!!! I hit the toyland jackpot with all these fabulous goodies! Just gotta run a bath of Clorox and then each of my kids get to pick out a fun new toy! The rest I will keep for stocking stuffers (there are so many, they'll forget by Christmas!) and some of them I will sell.
I just love treasure hunting!!!


 I sorted through 3 bouquets that had been thrown out. All of the carnations were still nice and fresh. I do love me some flowers!

 A super nice diaper bag, coloring books, squishy baby books, toys, crayons, unopened Christmas party favors, doll clothes...
The table that came with this was hashed but the chair is great! Plus a complete twin size airplane sheet set! Great condition!!
 Foliage.
 Play food. Crayola color wonder kit.
 Canned food. So many toys!!!! One of my favorites is the little green lantern. It works too! Saving that for the kids when we go camping this summer.
Cash register, notebooks, purses, foll clothes, leap frog stuff....

I just LOVE what I do!!! It's like Christmas! I think some fun memories my kids will have will be going through all the treasures they mommy brings home!
