The Treasures Aren't Always Furniture

If you have been following this blog since the beginning you know that this whole yard saling journey began with a $3 mickey waffle iron that we sold for $127 on ebay!  Well, believe it or not I found another mickey waffle iron...THE SAME ONE!!!  My hubby and I were at a yard sale and the owner must have been a Disneyland passholder for decades because they had Disney stuff coming out their wazoo!  We were looking around and I saw that someone had that waffle iron in their pile to buy.  I pointed it out to my husband and after the family paid we went to offer them some money for it but, it turned out that they didn't buy it and put it back!  My husband ran back and there it was....this time we paid $5...and made $100.  Within 7 days of buying it we posted it, sold it, and shipped it to Alabama!!

Here are the pics of this cute little waffle iron!  Who knew?

It's Been Awhile!!

It has been a little bit since I have had the chance to sit down and update my blog!!  The good news is that I have alot to share with you on what we have finished and sold. 

The last time I posted I wrote about a Tiffany tall boy dresser that sold within a day....here is her shorter sister that has now sold as well.
 Sold $130

The next piece that sold was a curvy wide dresser....and it sold without hardware.  I had a hard time finding hardware that worked that wasn't going to break the bank so I posted it without hardware hoping that I would come up with a solution or sell it and we sold it!!

Sold $120

The newest piece that has sold just sold today and it is something completely different from anything else that we have done.  Its a retro style dresser that we made two toned.  What do you think?


Sold $150

In the last month we have completed a beautiful antique beige desk, that I kept, and I made my own custom chair. Pictures to come.  We are also in the middle of quite a few projects so more to come next week when they are done.
