HOT HOT in Savannah and the Shopping is Easy .,, Part Uno!

Anticipation was building all week for my road trip to the neighborhoods of Savannah for Saturday Garage Sale Shopping.  I had been checking Craigs List periodically for the sales to explore. On Friday, my dear friend, coworker and kindred spirit, Camille, said she wanted to come with me! THANK YOU JESUS! So much more fun to shop with a friend!

I hit the road early yesterday at 7am. I arrived at Camille's house by 735am and we were off. first stop, Downtown Savannah random lil Garage Sale. Camille found an ALABAMA Tervis Tumbler $1, I found a Bracelet $.50, Chelsea Handler book $.50 and Very cool yellow and orange vase $1.50.


On to Ardsley Park and the numbered streets of Savannah. It is so hot out this Summer that there are not as many Sales as I would have hoped.. but we found a few. One had a Lemonade Stand with an adorable cat named DangerMouth. I got an oversized Crock Pot for Vic, $1, really cute yellow bag $1, and Camille found a neat serving tray for $1.00 (I am holding it in photo below). We bought a few clothing items for ourselves at a sale for $.50 each and we also found some cute clothing for our kiddos at another stop along with a wooden Peace Sign necklace I bought for $1.


I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Patriotic July Yard Art!

and a Minty Green Truck..


We then headed out toward Skidaway/Sandfly. I wanted Camille to see the adorable little neighborhood called ISLE of HOPE. She pointed out BONNA BELLA Yacht Club on the way. And we found this random Alter behind the Savannah Italian Social Club.


and then on to Thunderbolt.. I MISS THUNDERBOLT! 
In T-bolt, we found a garage sale on a corner. I bought a vintage horse head bookend for $.25, small acrylic yellow flowers painting $1.00, and the lady gave me a pair of old ceramic Pelicans for free. They have both been damaged and repaired.. but so darn cute! 
Camille bought a Le Sac purse for $1, Retro Tree picture $1, and another ramdom vintage picture for free! Love that FREE!

Then we went to the CURIOUSITY SHOP in Thunderbolt and found a basket full of CHICOS Flip Flops for $5 a pair! PINK for Me, ORANGE and GREEN for Camille!

 and then we were off to Tybee,,,

First, we did a drive-by of Paula Deen's YA'LL COME INN ...


and then we hit the Muthaload of Garage Sales! MADE MY DAY! I spent $32, Camille $12.. and what we bought?

 Audubon Prints, Yellow bench, Cabana striped room rug, 2 Crab Trap Palm Tree photos framed, brightly painted metal table, wicker end table, Tiki God wall hanging, large blue jar for seashells, Wooden Seagull figure, Seashell tea towel, Seashell figure and a book.and Camille bought the incredible framed Riviera painting, tablecloth and ceramic napkin rings!
and it all fit in the back of my car!

Next, we had lunch at TYBEE SOCIAL CLUB located at Butler and 12th on Tybee Island. I had Mini Duo burger with Mango, crab and onion on top with Chips and Queso! Camille had Fish tacos! AMAZINGLY GOOD LUNCH! GREAT ATMOSPHERE!

Seems the owner is a big fan of killing large animals and hanging them on the wall.



On to SEASIDE SISTERS!!

This was Camille's first trip to Seaside! I THINK SHE LIKED IT! We had a BLAST!


"DESTINED TO BE AN OLD LADY WITH CATS"
"Behind Every Great Man is a Woman Rolling Her Eyes"

 One cannot go to Seaside Sisters without a photo with the TYBEE Life Preserver!
Then, back to Savannah and one last stop before heading home at the Habersham Antiques. We didn't find anything at Habersham, but we did have a good time!

Tomorrow I will post pics of the things we bought.. and the things we didn't!
HAPPY SHOPPING!
