This morning I headed out on what seemed to promise to be a frustrating yard saling morning. I was going to a sale out in Draper and thanks to classic Utah road construction, I ended up taking a 15 minute detour to my first sale. Then I hit every red light possible but just barely missing the green. (Are you feeling my frustration?) I was debating about turning around, but see I had this dream. So I kept going. Eventually I made it to the yard sale (sorry to the trucks I cut off mid day dream). It wasn't a huge sale and I was already an hour past opening. But guess what? Dreams do come true. I drove the whole time dreaming of finding this little gem, and expecting if I did find it to pay much more. I think my eyes popped out of my head when I saw what I was looking for just laying there with a sticker saying $20 Doll + Book. That's right my doll savvy friends. I found an American Girl doll. Elizabeth to be exact. I seriously almost cried. I did jump up and down and scream when I got home and relived my fortuitous moment. Lyndsi gets what she wants for Christmas (so don't mention this great story in front of her please) and Jeff and I don't have to pay full price.
I also found this other great little item to stash away for Christmas.
I {heart} yardsaling!

surviving the road construction $10, american girl doll $20, making a little girl's christmas special, priceless! way to go! =)
Yay for you!
I didn't know that Mia was looking for a friend.
that is soooo awesome. somehow I must have missed that sale... or you got there first... not that I would have been looking for that:)
again, such a great find, angie! i've found kit's bed at a yard sale, and a bitty baby at DI (like $?1.50), but not a 'real' doll! woo hoo!
congrats! I love those finds. It can almost be addicting. Good luck Christmas shopping!
