Sharing My "Finds"

I

I promised you that I'd share what I was able to find at the warehouse sale last week.  It was busier than ever, and Juniper and I had to wait in line just to get in.   We kept wondering why there was a limit on the number of people allowed in. We didn't think there was any kind of fire code in an open air tent.  

Crowd control must have been their goal. But, we were an orderly bunch. Although numerous. The racks were jammed in, people were carrying boxes to fill, pushing them in front of themselves.

There were women following workers trying to unload even more goods off of trucks, like they had saved the best stuff until last. My favorite part is the "dressing area" though.  It's basically the lawn of the office building.  This is where everything gets tried on, Juniper and I noticed some new signs this year though, on the Outside of the windows, they said:  "Yes, we CAN see you".  I guess they got an eye-full last year!

Here is a short list of my "finds".  The above sparkly earrings for around 18 cents.

This bag for $1.  I thought it would be a great overnight bag for my 7 year old.

Check out this cute chunky sweater. I love it with a cami underneath.

And my ALL TIME FAVORITES: These boots!  Yes, Boots!  Aren't they fun?  My daughter just absolutely hates them, and made me promise to NOT wear them if I'm around her, and it goes without saying that if her friends saw me in them, she'd keel over in embarrassment.   I think this means they're good, right?  

Somehow I think they're funny, and perfect for a rainy day.

Sorry, I can't today. I've got plans to try on clothes in an Industrial Park.

Oh, and did I mention that there are no dressing rooms?  Just the great outdoors.

There is a clothing company near here that has a sample sale a few times a year.  It's usually a circus (hence the tent-Ha!)  There are racks and racks of clothes, shoes, belts, bags. Everything you can think of.  They are priced on a sliding scale.  So, maybe $5 for one item, 3 for $10.  So, you have to keep track of your item count to get the best deal.

Sometimes you buy stuff just for the buttons, or the fabric, or maybe you can change something that you love.  Hey, it's pure inspiration. Lots of fun.

The tricky part is trying things on.  You are literally in the lawn of an office building in an industrial park. Plan your dress appropriately, and you'll be fine.  And, by that I mean: wear a skirt and a tank top. You can try on pants under the skirt, and tops on over the tank.  Some girls just wear swim suits, but I'm not up for that.  

Stop back to see what fabulous things I come home with!
