Good morning, friends! One of my favorite warm weather activities is to visit our local flea markets and yard sales in search of treasure. I decorate with rustic/antique treasures, so I'm always looking for those things and along the way I usually find some things for my classroom as well!
I always look for books at the flea markets and yard sales! Here is my haul from this summer. Some of these I got for as little as 5 cents each!! I couldn't believe what a deal I was getting. I even got 2 hardback copies of the Guinness Book of World Records for $1 each!
I was driving by a yard sale one Saturday morning and stopped just for this chair! It was love at first sight and for only $5 it is definitely my best find this summer!
What do you like to shop for at flea markets and yard sales? What is your all time best classroom find?
What great finds! I have better luck buying from the local library (25 cents each) than from yard sales. Love your chair!

I've been on the hunt for a straw dispenser so that I can turn it into the "pencil machine." Like this here...http://www.etsy.com/listing/94380891/old-straw-dispenser-turned-into-a-pencil

The kids will love that chair! Definitely the steal of the century right there! You may to do a rotation because it's going to be very popular! You're definitely quite the savvy shopper - great job on all your awesome finds!
ReplyDeleteFor books, I buy from our library used sales mostly. Most books are around a $1 each but they are in excellent condition usually and usually high interest books they just have high volumes of due to popularity at the time or an author's visit/book of the month promotion. Best of luck on your library! (Don't think you need!)

Love the chair. I have one similar in my class that one of my podmates just gave me. Maybe because I used to go plop in it in her room every day!
