Today's task was to go to every garage sale in the Salem Keizer Area that might have baby stuff. Well, I made it to 8 sales (there weren't as many as I was hoping for) but I got some great deals! Bought the crib mattress for $15, Boppy pillow for $3, 5 crib sheets for $1.25, and a jonny jumper for $3... all of which were in excellent condition. I have also been looking for a glider or rocking chair for the nursery. My grandmother had already told me she wanted to buy me one, but I wasn't willing for her to pay full price- those things are spendy! I had been scouring Craig's List for quite awhile and nothing was turning up. This morning (6:30 am) I once again looked for updates. Keep in mind, I had looked at 11 pm the night before, so I wasn't very expectant. But low and behold someone had posted a glider/ottoman combo at 1 am. I set up an appointment to go see it at 2 pm and called my grandmother to come with me. It was in far better condition than I expected! So we got it and brought it back to the nursery :) And, mean grand-daughter that I am, I made her sit in it so I could take her picture. She hates getting her picture taken, but the memory is worth it...to both of us :)
