Another Garage Sale Conquest

When we put away our Christmas decorations, I finally threw away all the nativity pieces that were missing body parts - the headless wise men, the 3 legged sheep, the half-Mary...  I made a mental note to be on the lookout for a new (and hopefully indestructible) nativity set.  Today our church had a rummage sale and I wasn't really shopping it so much as trying to keep the kids occupied while we waited for another event to start.  They found a box on the ground shoved in among the boardgames.  It was a complete Playmobil Nativity Set.  When I asked the price, the girl shrugged and said, "A dollar."  I checked online and even the used ones start at $50, new ones are $80 (Not including shipping).  Maybe I should sell it!  But then I might really disappoint a certain little girl :)


I also bought a set of cute Thank You notes with matching envelopes.  I didn't realize until we got home that all the envelopes were sealed.  But, it turns out that if you put sealed envelopes in the freezer for a few hours, you can pop them back open!  Yay!

  1. Danielle has that nativity set. $1 is definitely a good deal!

  2. (I should add that we did not pay that much either. It was a gift.)

  3. Score! This makes me anxious for our "season" to start back up. Garage sale season, that is.
