Works For Me Wednesday-Christmas Garage Sales in August
In August... I went to a garage sale in our neighborhood. It was almost 90 and humid! So I wasn't thinking "Christmas". However, this sale had TONS AND TONS of Christmas stuff. She had bags stuffed with ornaments for a only $1! I picked up a few and didn't even know what was in the bags. One was a bag full of angels....well, I came across it while decorating my "stairs" and used some..what fun! They are very festive. At night, with the lights and gold ribbon...they just "glimmer". From now on, garage sales WORK FOR ME!

I'm a garage sale junkie. I've found some amazing stuff, like a standup freezer for $50. There wasn't a thing wrong with it. Congratulations on your good buys!
You have a wonderful decorating eye! Great bargain:-).
That is SOOOO great. You are so clever.
That was a GREAT find!!!
I think when you find something for free or at such a good deal like you did it makes you treasure your finds even more.
We do the pickle. My kids get to play it the night we decorate our tree. The get so excited for it every year
I love garage sales, too. It's the ultimate treasure hunt. It looks like you really hit the jackpot ... what beautiful things!
I am a huge plaid fan. This is tops.
Those are lovely. I'm all about the bling bling.
SWEET!! Great finds!!
I LOVE finding good deals at garage sales! That's awesome!
Looks like they were meant to be - and at a bargin on top of that! Great job!
Gorgeous DAHLING!
You did great! You need to have vision to shop at garage sales and i must not have it because I never find those kinds of deals!
I have some gold angels too....but I have not used them in years! Never would I have thought to use them in the garland....they look so cute!! Your staircase looke beautiful!!

Garage sales rock! And hey...I love the pickle tradition and have been looking for one of my own...thanks for the heads up!
Don't you love it when it all comes together?:) Sometimes you have to buy for the future, especially when it's a great deal. Looks amazing! Lori
Garage sales are the best!
Wow lucky duck!
I guess August makes perfect sense...that way people can buy Christmas stuff with plenty of time to use it!
I love your garage sale finds! Cute☺
My sister and I go "garage-saling" every Thursday all summer long. We love it and find so many great deals that way! Your finds were awesome.
So pretty and what great finds for a bargain! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas to you and your family! :-)
Love the ornaments on the stairs!!!
Very nice...the angels really add a fun festive touch!
How neat! So, when you opened up the bags of goodies from that yard sale months ago it was like a 'pre-Christmas' pressie for yourself!
Love that!
The garland looks great!
Merry December and happy garage sale-ing!!! ;)
Hugs, Les
lucky for you that they even HAD christmas stuff out in august!
That was a wicked garage sale!
Beautiful! Garage Sales definitely work for me!!!
I always love garland coming down a staircase! Beautiful!
Way cute garage sale finds! I love what you have done with them!
oh oh oh... love all that you have!! Yard sales are soooo hard, but the monies are soooo nice! :)
Hugs.. Amy
Great idea. I know I've sold several things at my garage sales that were Christmas related!
what great stuff!
I need to stock up and that would be a great way to go. I wonder if after the holidays people will be getting rid of stuff. hmmm...
Awesome! ♥ Hugs :)
I know exactly what you mean! Now I am kicking myself that I didn't buy MORE over the summer when I wasn't in the mood...because now I have to pay full price or wait until the bargains come back after Christmas!

Garage sales can be awesome! And addicting when you get really great stuff! The angels sound beautiful on your stairs - my daughter would love them!
So beautiful! I love what you did!
Beautiful -- love it!! You are such a talented decorator! Am going to have to remember this tip at garage sales in the future.
