Browsing kijiji

It's a rainy day here today, so no yard saling occurred for this lady.

Instead I stayed in my pajamas with my baby. While he napped, I did a few things around the house and browsed Kijiji. To my delight, I found a few really terrific deals that I am currently waiting to hear back about!

I have been looking for a chair for the spare bedroom. If it is still available, I just may have one for $10! What a steal. If I get it, I will have to repaint and reupholster:




And I really, really hope to hear back from this seller! I have a bedside table already that matches the one here exactly. And the shelf is coordinating. I would love to have this for our master bedroom. I like the look of symmetry:



I keep checking my e-mail. No word yet. But FX!

I went yard saling!

"MULTI FAMILY YARD SALE" the ad on kijiji read. Multi Family Yard Sale? It was calling to me!


The address was a ways away. I live in a small town in Ontario, and there are lots of rural communities nearby. I didn't anticipate how far away I would have to drive.

I got into my blue elantra, minus one husband and one baby, and headed out at 7:30. I drove, and I drove, and I drove some more. I nearly turned around at one point, but decided to go just a bit further. I am glad I did!

I rounded a corner and saw all the cars lined on the side of the highway. Sign number 1 that this was going to be a good one. Then I noticed the tables and tables of stuff all set up in somebody's massive front yard. I was excited!

I found this lamp at the yard sale:



It was only $5 and I think it will go great in the spare bedroom.

I also picked up this gem:




It is in need of lots of TLC but I think a bit of paint will spruce it right up. It was only $3.

I love the detail on the bottom:



I think it will find a new purpose as a bedside table in our bedroom.

And my favourite find of the day was this beauty:



I think I am IN LOVE with it. And can you believe it was only $3?! I do like the blue colour it is now, but it needs a bit of help still. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet. Maybe it will act as a side table in the spare bedroom? Stay tuned to find out!


It is in fantastic shape. I still can't believe it was only $3.




Yay for yard sales!
