Scenes from the Barn Sale

Went to the Barn Sale today with a friend. Loved everything (as usual). Didn't buy anything, but dreamed a lot about buying things. Here are some of my favs...



Did go to a consignment sale for clothing and bought a huge bagful of clothes, which means I will have to get rid of some things. My new motto: "if things come in, things go out." For $27. 65 I got: a mid-length spring raincoat from the Gap; a fun, hand-painted pair of sandals; leather clogs (hardly worn); two adorable tee shirts; a jacket and a very sweet Sweet Pea shirt. So, I averaged about $3 per item..pretty good deal, don't you agree? I love bargains!!!
By the way, what ever happened to 40 bags in 40 days, you may ask? I ended up with 26 bags for donation, consignment or trash (not too shabby and I beat last year's record). Some day I will make it to 40 bags...

I love that piece with all the drawers!!
I think you got a great deal on all of the clothes. I wrote a big to-do list today and going through my clothes to donate what I don't wear anymore (like all my size 10 clothes) was on the list. I decided it's time to try and get a bit more organized!

As I was reading, I wondered whatever happened to the 40 bags project. Thanks for reading my mind and answering. 26 bags out is better than nothing and heck of a lot better than 26 bags in!
