I scored big at a yard sale Saturday. Bet you're jealous!
OK, no Faberge eggs, old silver or period furniture.

I got an almost new Dyson Vacuum cleaner for $100.00. One brush is missing but no matter.

My old vac is held together with a clamp and duct tape---not kidding. I would be faced with buying a new vac soon but never could afford a Dyson. The housecleaning gods must be looking over me.
The woman did not like it.

This thing is amazing. I had cleaned the day before with my old Hoover and it looked good to me but I had to try the Dyson. You'd think I did not clean this place for months.

Bagless, lifetime Hepa filter. I cleaned it up completely before bringing it into the house. Leave someone else's dust outside.

My Christmas present to myself.

1. Oh, yeah? Well I scored big on Friday at a moving sale.
For $125 I bought two newly upholstered and never used stuffed armchairs for my sun porch. I was happy, happy, happy. The floral pattern picks up all the colors of the room and floor perfectly. (On a side note, I'm always amazed at how much stuff I can cram into my Rav4.) I'd like to find a new vacuum cleaner, though. My old Electrolux weighs a ton. Great find on the Dyson!

2. It's great when you find something at a price that makes you smile.
I find goodies for the house that I never thought of looking for. Congrats on the chairs, they sound wonderful. I sure wish I had a porch. What a great spot to read on a summer eve or to leave the wet or muddy boots after nasty winter weather.

I keep a mental list of things friends and family are looking for. Never know what will turn up.
Happy hunting.

3. I found a refurbished Dyson at an electronics store for $200!
I decided to splurge since I was buying pos vacuums yearly that cost about $100. I have a dog, and the vacuums would keep breaking down. Dyson is definitely worth it.

4. Enjoy, don't be surprised if you are shocked at the amount of
fur, dust and stuff it picks up. The thing is amazing. When I take care of my daughters dog, I am left with a layer of Yellow Lab fur on everything the dog comes near. Out comes the vac. Gone

5. I've had it for about 6 months now and I love it. Except using the hose
is kinda a pain - it's so stiff and not very long. Put that's okay - I have a $20 Bissel electric broom that does a great job on the floors.
The Dyson is a must have for an animal owner.
