Wow...super deal!! I watch for Christmas items year around when we are junking. The middle of the summer is the best time to find things cheap. Good job!!

Congrats on your find Jenn. You are right, have to grab those bargains no matter what time of the year it is.

I'm still wanting to paint a few Christmas projects that I didn't get done last year. One of the gals on the painting forum suggested that I alternate, one regular item, then do a Christmas project, etc. I think that is a perfect solution!

What a good deal! I passed up 2 dept 56 houses at a garage sale for $20 each last summer,and have been kicking myself for not buying them.

What a GREAT find. I pick up Xmas stuff any time of year, when its that kind of bargain. Wish my GW would get some Dept 56, I love that stuff.

I'm having a Christmas in June garage sale sometime in June. I'm getting rid of almost all my vast collection of Christmas and other holiday decor and ornaments. I'm confining my decorating to my front porch and a few other pieces for the interior. I sure hope people are in the mood to buy then.

Thanks folks! :)

Minnie- I think people will always be in the mood to buy cool Christmas items, as long as they're thinkers-ahead.

JuicyFruit- maybe you'll get another even better opportunity at some point. You just never know when it comes to things like garage sales and thrift stores.

Awesome find, can you post a pic now? I'd love to see it.

Minnie, I think you ought to give me a preview of your holiday sale items. I might want to shop early! Wish I could actually come to your garage sale. Darn.

hugs, Karen

I will post some pics later on of what I'm going to get rid of.

It's neevr a bit early to think of Christmas! ;o) I saw the pic of the Dept 54 piece on your blog...what's the difference between Dept 54 & Dept 56, do you know?
