Martin: Beechworth local produce markets in the grounds of one of the local churches.
Saturday morning we left the boys sleeping and the both of us drove to the small growers market on the other side of town. Another hot day but this area is at a higher altitude and the humidity is also higher than towards the middle of Victoria where we had been. Always interesting to see what is on offer at the local markets. Ruth picked up some herbal teas, fresh peas and a bag of apricots.
Me: While Bob was mountain biking, I hit the Friday morning garage sales.
And while we were away, James and Mike were making progress on the house.
The remodel is taking shape and Harley approves of the new deck!
PS: I hit the jackpot of garage sales this morning. You can see one fun bargain in the middle photo. I also purchased three tall bookshelves, a gorgeous coffee table (for our vacation rental), 2 blankets (also for rental), 2 antique glass canisters, a wool shawl, t-shirt and bonus: a box of free grapefruit.
Total spent: $64.00.
Jane - Boy your got a lot for your money, but then you are an excellent shopper...how much did you get them to come down on your purchases???? Progress is really coming a long..can't wait to see finished project!
ReplyDeleteMartin - Another interesting day!
Looked at pictures again and saw Harley in the act...love it!
ReplyDeleteThe table, chairs and rocker: they were asking $50 and I got for $25. :-) It's very retro which I love!
ReplyDeleteThe bookcases were asking $20 each and I got for $20 total (all 3 of them).
The coffee table was asking $25 (which was already a great deal, but I got for $15).
2 blankets: $3.00 total. 2 clothing items: $1.00 total.
Oops, I didn't add correctly before...my total purchases were $64.00 (not $52).
Great fun!
Yes, Harley is always around to help!
ReplyDeleteJane - Love your deals!!!!
