Jacksonville City Wide Yard Sale

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!"


No, I'm not talking about Christmas!


It's the second weekend in September, which can only mean one thing...the Jacksonville City Wide Yard Sale!


Now, I'm a die-hard yard saler, but since my little mister arrived on the scene, yard sale-ing is not quite as easy.  Fortunately Chris and Papa offered to spend the day with Cole having some quality boy time so Grammy and I could get our yard-sale on!


We've been training for the big day for weeks - marathon sprints (to outrun the other yard-salers), weight-lifting (heavy lifting for all those boxes and bags of goodies), and kick boxing (hey, sometimes those other yard-salers can get violent!).


And the day did not disappoint - we came home with a trunkful of goodies, including:

This play guitar for Cole - only $2 ($20 new!)

Melissa and Doug toys are some of my favorites - we found this set of wooden trucks for only $3, down from $19 new!

We also spotted this xylophone for Cole - $3, instead of new $40!

These Cole Haan shoes were practially brand new!  The new price...$178.  Our price? $5!


And my personal favorite - Grammy got her Christmas shopping/spoiling taken care of early for Cole with this purchase:

Can't you just picture Cole pedaling around in this beauty?!  I can't wait!

How about you? Have you had any awesome yard sale finds this summer?
