One of the best gifts I ever got someone-a glitter lamp(like a lava lamp but with glitter that is constantly flowing in water with a light) for my best friend was from a garage sale! She still mentions how much she loves it and that was years ago! :)<br /><br />I'm going to go to our local re-sale shops and garage sales soon! It's a treasure hunt, and the quality is MORE personal in my opinion cuz I hunt for the pieces,and the people's personalities seem to shine thru more when I'm picking things for them in re-sale locations. Example-Many times I'll find an amazing gift at a regular store and try to think of someone it would be good for, but-at re-sale places-The process is "think of person, find gift" as opposed Find gift, think of who it would be goo for". :)Pen Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443147029903410419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-7509379500706446862009-11-24T09:34:03.010-05:002009-11-24T09:34:03.010-05:00There were some nice things and then not so nice. ...There were some nice things and then not so nice.

I purchased a beautiful set of new Libby parfait glasses for a paltry $5.00.<br /><br />We can't go yard saling at this point due to the weather. Our season runs from about April to October. We're also finding tons of kid stuff, but not much in the way of household items. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

Reduce, REUSE, RECYCLE!! <br /><br />If you have someone who loves cloth bags, for example, and you find such at a garage sale, maybe bling it up with your own personal touch for them. Then, it's very new isn't it!! I love updating what I get at garage sales, and would love to receive such a gift too.Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-84935049572143864342009-11-21T06:59:42.168-05:002009-11-21T06:59:42.168-05:00Great idea!
