Great Find at the Yard Sale!!


So on our way to the Farmer's market today we hit up two different yard sales. Things looked okay at the first one. We saw a really nice table and chair set for $300 but we thought it was too much. The majority of the things came from a Pier 1 imports so maybe they were just asking too much for the already too expensive stuff they bought. Perhaps that is why they had the yard sale, needing more money so they can get new Pier 1 stuff, or at least that's what their husbands told the wives who were already bored with their nice stuff.

Well, at the second yard sale the people seemed a little more artsy and down to earth, living in a semi-modest house off 100 N 100 E in Provo. They only had a few things but we did spy out one great steal. We had been looking to get a fan for Lucy's room because she had been having a hard time sleeping with the summer heat. That is when we came across the fan below. We got it for 5 bucks, Rachel says its because I look intimidating and only smile if I have to, and that all that was really wrong with it was that the filter needed to be cleaned. The original price as listed on Amazon is 79 bucks! Aren't we lucky?!?! I thought so since they were only asking for 5 I opened the cover on the filter and saw it was stuffed with dust bunnies. We got home, cleaned it and it blows more air then it did when we were looking at it. Also, on Amazon, the filter needs to be cleaned regularly so it works properly, leading me to think that the husband said the fan was broken and the wife didn't really care to clean it so they sold it to us at their yard sale. I wonder what else we can find.
