OK second day of the citywide garage sales in my town and this is everything I picked up today 🛍️
I honestly started out pretty slow this morning and I thought it might be one of those “just look around” kind of days… but it ended up turning into a really good one. As I kept going, I started finding way more good pieces than I expected and met a lot of really nice people along the way. A few even just started handing things over for free, which honestly made the whole experience even more fun and surprising.
Not everything made it into the picture either—I also grabbed about three pairs of Hey Dudes for myself that were basically brand new and I only paid $5 total for all of them, which still feels kind of unreal. I also picked up a shirt for myself and a few books that didn’t make it into the main haul photo.
If I had to pick my favorite finds from today’s haul, I’d probably say the German pieces. I barely ever come across those hand-carved German wooden items, so finding those felt really special. They just have that unique, old-world detail that you don’t see often.
The suitcases were another really exciting find. I got both of them for $15 total, and I already know they’re going to flip quickly. Even though they don’t have the key, that’s not a big deal at all—I can usually find replacements pretty easily on eBay, so I’m not worried about that.
I also found some video games today, which was actually one of my goals going into these sales. I’ve been getting more into collecting games lately, so it felt good to finally start building that up a bit.
And one of the biggest surprise steals of the day was the Princess House clock for only $5. That was an easy grab.
Overall, it was just a really good day of thrifting and garage sale hunting. I found a lot of cool, unique stuff, met some great people, and honestly just had a really fun time doing it. I’m super excited to see how everything flips and what tomorrow brings if I go back out again.
