Saturday
Saturday we stopped at several sales - some good, some bad. I checked out Craigslist the night before (I highly recommend this. Lots of folks are using this now for their ads) and made a plan for the morning. I had my $40 + $6.75 left from Friday. I saw that a few sales were starting at 6am so since Sofia was up at 5:30, I got up to and we got going.

1st Sale - uh, WOW. $20.00 (yikes nearly 1/2 my money) bought me this!!!!!!!!

2 chairs, 2 chaise lounges, 2 side tables and cushions. My house had patio furniture at it, but well it is ugly so this is lovely!!!!
