Second hand treasures

Hello friends!
As I child, my mom would drag me from garage sale to garage sale. It wasn't because we couldn't afford new things, but rather she liked going through things that people were getting rid of, in the hopes that she would find something she really loved.
I'm sure that she could comment so many times about the treasures that she has scored at a garage sale! I remember sitting in the car when I was younger, praying nobody would see me. And then in college, actually getting out of the car to look, but was quite embarrassed when somebody I knew saw me. But as I've gotten older, I have begun to LOVE going to them! Anderson and I get up every Friday morning and set out for the sales. He loves them too! If we go by one and he doesn't get to go in, he will tell me "garage sale...go in". Ha! Now, he is able to recognize many of the homemade signs and will alert me of them and then throw a fit, if we aren't able to go. :)
Lately, we have gotten some pretty cool deals.

We got this 7 and a half foot pre-lit Christmas tree for 15 dollars...plus the lighted garland to go on the mantle.
Then, we got 20 of these light up candy canes for the yard during Christmas for $5(they are $8 at Lowes for 3 of them)
Today, was my most favorite and I HAD to share it with you. Our bedroom is completely Japanese. We found these beautiful silk framed prints for......are you ready........$1.00 a piece!!!!!
Anderson was SUPER happy too, because he scored a little horse for 50 cents!!
Hope you have a great weekend and get out there and go to a garage sale!
