Yard Sale Jackpot!

 Yesterday Morning I went out for my 2 mile run (slow jog) but then I only made it .25 miles before I found a fatabulous yard sale! I found classic books like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Corduroy, How Much I Love You and Berenstein Bears for $0.10 each! 

 Then there were brand new hand crafted cars $3 each.

 I got Rachel the baby doll with the hooded towel on for $1.

 Then I looked at the clothes rack and found a Calvin Klein dress in my size (10). I tried it on over my running clothes and a perfect fit!


 I love it =)

 A Banana Republic jacket for $1.00!


The jean jacket works nice to cover up my flabby arms....lol =) 

 It is getting a little hot for a jean jacket though, so i put on this light sweater over the dress, which will work too =)


 A pretty brown dress for $2.00!

 I like the empire waist a lot! I will have to find a little sweater to put over my arms though =)
 2 highcut t shirts that were Anne Klein and Charter Club. High cut shirts are hard to find these days so $1.00 each was a great find to me!


Finally I found some wooden yo-yo's with our home team on them! We are from Alexandria, VA and so the Redskins are "our" team. I don't really care much for football though =) I like to tease my mom and call them the Dead Skins....lol =)

That is great!!

By the way, that type of waist is called an "empire waist" not umpire. It was first seen in the First French Empire, hence the name. ;)

Here is the wikipedia article about it:

Thanks Kelly d. =) I can't believe I didn't yard sale until 3 years ago!
Thanks for the correction and insight into the word =) Spell checker doesn't always work .....I should invent a sentence context checker and sell it to Microsoft for $42 billion dollars =)
