Sidewalk Sale!

Today my local scrapbook store, The Woven Heart, had a sidewalk sale! They don't happen very often, maybe once a year. People drop off their stuff and they get store credit for whatever they sell. I took a bunch of things up a few weeks ago, but unfortunately I didn't see anybody buying any of my stuff when I was there. No store credit for me I guess.

I got there at 8am because I didn't know what time they were going to open but since they were closed and went and did my Wal-Mart shopping. I made it back to the store a few minutes before 10 and there were people wating in front of the doors. It was like Black Friday! Thank goodness I got there early, because by 10:20 all the good stuff was gone! Of course, some of it came home with me...here's what I got.

Things that were a quarter:
A bag of die cut flowers, birds, and butterflies from K&Company. I just looked at these on Joann.com but didn't buy them! Guess what, at Joann they weren't a quarter!
A bag of travel goodies. I don't think I'll use it all, but there are 3 really cute tages and some tickets with travel saying on them that I like a lot.

Okay, this was the BEST purchase of all. A bag of sea themed things-K&Company stickers, chipboard, glitter words. Lots of pretty, pretty stuff.

PLUS in that same bag there were these pretty rubons. They were like a little extra!

These rub ons were a quarter....


And so were all these paper embellishments from Rusty Pickle...


And all these these tags and library pockets...


And these pretty photo corners. (The total so far is $1.75)



These were 50 cents each...I love the Cosmo Cricket stickers...so cute!


Getting to the big sticker items now...these two premade projects were $1 each. I guess they were class samples. I wanted to make an advent box, but now I can just fill this one!

The Santa album just needs some pictures and embellishments. And it jingles!

And for $2 I got all of these chipboard buttons and frames. There were a bunch of chipboard words too, but I'm not so sure about those. I really wanted the frames.



All this for a grand total of $9.75! If only the sidewalk sale came around more often! But alas, it is a magical yet elusive event. I'm hoping maybe some of my stuff sold later so I can go back and get some glimmer mist with my store credit! I called my mom and she wanted to know what I got for her...hmmm, what do you see that you love.
