Great Garage Sale Find
I went to several garage sales on the weekend. . .primarily to look for stuff that I can alter. In my opinion, there's no point in buying new stuff at the craft store if you're going to alter them.
Look at what I found at a garage sale. . . .a metal card display . . .the same one that stores use to display greeting cards. I always wanted one but when I looked around to buy a new one, the commercial greeting card stands run over a hundred dollars. I wanted a metal one like the stores and I found this one at a garage sale. I bought this one for $20. . .it's used but in fabulous condition.
I also found a few photo albums that were new but were being sold for a $1 each. I didn't add a picture of them because I'll do it when I'm done altering them. I can't wait to work on them!

WOW Maria,those are awesome garage sale finds! I'd love to have one of those card meatal card racks!
Holy wow, 20 for that card rack is a huge bargain! The trays are very cool, and I think you should reconsider altering them! LOL!
What a deal on the rack! You can find the best deals at a garage sale- one man's junk is another man's treasure!
Wow, Maria! That rack is awesome! And those trays are so nice. Have fun with your new finds. :0)
Ooooh! You got great deals! Check out my site, I found bargains too. But you got the best deal, sister - that card display was a great find!
Nice find, Maria! You did great!
So awesome!!!

What great finds. I love garage sales and only get to them when I visit my sister down in Mississippi. They are so much fun! Where I do go, in my area, is a man who has a flea market about 20 minutes away. It is one disorganized mess, but I love the hunt. It is all in the hunt, isn't it?
I'm so thrilled for you, Maria. You struck the mother-lode of yard sales with that purchase!!! Fabulous finds:)
Wow! Fab goodies, Love your card stand, it's going to be perfect for displaying your beautiful cards!
I love garage sales too Maria! It looks like you hit the jackpot...you brought some fantastic goods at a terrific price!

OK...I'm jealous! I would love to find a rack like that! I never find good stuff like that! Great find Maria!
Congrats on your card display! I have one exactly like that - you are going to LOVE it!
THis just goes to show what great stuff is at garage sales. I once found an item brand new in the box that sold at the store for $250 and I bought it for $15. Hooked it up and it worked great.
