This morning my mom and I visited an industrial area to go to a set-dec sale. Most people I mention this to have no idea what i'm talking about, so I will elaborate. Once a movie/TV production has finished, often times the set decorators, crew and wardrobe will have a sale to earn back a bit of their budget and to get rid of some unwanted props, clothes, or anything used in the movie.
Most sales, such was the case with this one, the sale will open to the film industry first. After that, they will open the sale to the public to get rid of the rest before the last haul to the Salvation Army.
My mom and I were the first two there, thinking there might be a huge rush of people. However, since the sale was open to the film industry first we were sort of scrounging the bottom of the barrel. Though they did have a warehouse full of things, some items were overpriced or just uninteresting. One shirt I saw was a flouncy green and purple owl shirt. I wanted to have it so bad, but the woman told me it was $30 so I put it back. If it was new in a store, MAYBE. But after someone had worn it at a sale? What-ever. I will supplement my owl disappointment with fettuccine.
My mother has a way about her that as soon as she enters a store or a sale she immediately finds the best deals or items, almost effortlessly. Things I wouldn't normally look at she finds interesting or can pick out of a pile. Here is what my mother bought today:
2 Coats, 1 scarf, 8 velvet hangers (so your clothes don't slip off) = FREE
Hand and nail cream = FREE
Pair of sneakers for my brother = FREE
6 purses including one from London Fog = $3
Another purse from XoXo = $5
King sized synthetic duvet = $40
And here is what I bought today :)
Golden bedazzled turtle with three opening magnetic shells = $1
Strange, spikey dish = $2
Silk scarf which is now in my hair = FREE
I also got some gold, nautical keychains which were free and some of those $0.50 purses.
