A Few Tag Sale Finds

The jury is still out on this one! I truly think I got a real LV purse, the markings look real and all, does anyone know how to tell. I have a real serial number that matches a real LV bag just like this, it is from 2003, I paid $5, a new one to replace it is $1030.00! I bought it at a really nice home, one of the straps needs some work but I love it any ways!
At the same sale the lady had this old typewriter still in its cool old box for $3!

Really crummy picture I know but I am short on time, this golf bag was crying for me to take it home, isn't she pretty! Now I really need to learn how to golf better, it even has the fancy embroidered number club covers! It is a nice tanish color with white toile-ish flowers on it!


My friend has one of these, she has something like 30 nieces and nephews so it was a neat way for her to display all of their pictures, I found this one still in its box for $1 and luckily I have 5 nieces and nephews so it was a perfect fit for me!
Now this big bad piece of coral almost caused a blood bash between me and my neighbor Pam who was shopping with me that day. It is beautiful and a nice size for $5 it was a super good deal or should I say steal! I wish I had more of these!
Not sure what you call this but I have wanted one forever and this one was only $2 so I finally gave into temptation and brought it home.
Love this frame! I hit another jackpot of a sale, my favorite children's boutique closed a few months ago, the owner had a sale at her house trying to get rid of the rest of her loot, I had looked at this frame before but she wanted $40 for it, I got it for a dollar!! Hee hee! I also got and old shutter, some Cath Kidson bath salts, some adorable pillows for my porch swing and a few other incidentals for next to nothing!

I had no intention of being gone so long! Life just got so busy! Today is Dayton's first day of high school as a Freshman, boo hoo!!! We had a great summer ( it could have been warmer!) and crammed lots of activity into each day. I am not sure why but always on the first day of school I clean both of the kids rooms out. Maybe it is because during the summer we are so busy that stuff just gets ignored and I let things slide. So I have spent most of today cleaning out Myah's room, boy that girl is a pack rat! It feels so good to have their clothes organized and their gadgets put away for a while. I love to be organized and my household runs so much better when we are. I totally had a great time going to tag sales this summer ( I decided that it sounds so much more sophisticated to say tag sale instead of yard or garage) , I hit some great ones let me tell ya! I have become much more selective in what I bring into my home so I did pass up some great stuff just because I don't need it or have a place for it, I hate buying things and then never using them. I actually did a happy dance at one in particular, you know it is bad when you leave and then go to the atm and go back! I found a gorgeous Horchow chenille bedding set for Myah's room. The lady said she paid over $600 for it! It is like new, she actually had 2 because she had 2 little girls but I only needed the one. I will have to show you that later, I don't have any pictures of it yet. I also found a mirror there by an artist that I love but could never afford for $15.00!
Well, here are a few photos that I found for your viewing pleasure, nothing too interesting but treasures nonetheless!
