Yard sales etc

I love yard sales. Okay I love yard sales, garage sales, auctions, estate sales and thrift shopping. Recently there was a yard sale down the street from my house. I saw a big tote that said Bratz Dolls 10.00 entire tote. This thing was packed with stuff so i couldnt pass it up. I have been selling stuff on ebay and had some other bratz that i had found and sold. I took it home and it took awhile to sort it all. It had Bratz, Moxie Dolls, a couple Barbies and Liv Dolls. Might i add that Liv dolls are creepy with those eyes. There were also a ton of clothes and accessories too. So i listed everything over the past couple weeks and have managed to make 150.00 off that 10.00 purchase. Unfortunately any money i make on ebay just funds my ebay spending.  I love searching for things that i can sell. It does help supplement my income since i am not working and being a stay at home mom with Londen.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day has come and gone once again. Luckily, Jeff had a four day weekend so we were able to do a lot. Friday we had a yard sale and the traffic wasn't too good. We only made about 40.00 this time. I thought with the Blueberry Festival going on it would be busier. I found out towards the end of my sale that if you put a sign on the main road during the festival they will remove it. Jerks..  I was told by our neighbor that our street is very busy during this weekend but it really wasn't. I have decided next year I will have mine on a Monday. I had more people walk past my house that day than any other day. After we finished the sale we had to take Londen to the doctor for a followup appointment. We then drove to Culver and went to the Evil Czech Brewery. Really good food and delicious beer.

We watched some horror movies and
Kyle came over on Friday night to spend the weekend here and hang out with Jeff.
Saturday we went to a bunch of yard sales. I didn't find much but Kyle did buy Londen a Cozy Coupe. She is still too young for it but it was 15.00 and not sun faded like they usually are. After that we came home and got Londen fed and walked over to the Blueberry Festival. I have went almost every year but this was the first time going now that we live in Plymouth. We are only a couple blocks away so we can just walk right over and not have to deal with the traffic and parking. I have staples that I always have to get at any festival. First off those delicious sirloin tips and potatoes. I swear they put crack on the tips. Jeff tried them for the first time and loved them. Next I had to get a frozen chocolate banana. We walked around for a bit and looked at craft booths and took in the smells and sights of the festival.
We went home for a couple hours then headed back for dinner time. Next up a polish sausage sandwich and an Apple Dumpling for dessert. All of my better eating I have done for the past week is out the window this weekend. I am afraid to step on the scale. We walked around some more then went home and hung out put Londen to bed and played some Tetris and Dr.Mario while Kyle got baked and passed out in our yard for 2 hours. Went to Christos for Blueberry pancakes on Sunday and then took Londen to see her grandparents at the car show. Then it started to downpour and we got drenched. Kyle went home Sunday afternoon and I made Pad Thai for dinner.yummo
Monday we took Londen and the dogs to watch the parade. The route is a block away so its really close by. Jeff had to park cars for the Freemasons for a couple hours. After he was done it was one last trip to the festival. Jeff had to have more sirloin tips and I had cheese fries.
It was quite a busy weekend.
