Fantastic Garage Sale Finds

My friend (Emily) and I met for lunch today, and since the restaurant that we wanted to eat at didn't open until a half hour after we had arranged to meet, we decided to drive around and do a little garage saleing before lunch. We ended up happening upon an awesome garage sale. The family was very nice, and all of their items were extremely well-cared for with super reasonable prices. I ended up buying a really nice gender neutral wooden dollhouse with tons of accessories ($35, ~$250 retail) and a like-new Maclaren Quest stroller with carrying/storage bag ($15, ~$220 retail) from them along with a puzzle and lots of books. They had a ton of learn-to-read type books for a quarter each that we are excited about reading with Ethan to encourage his word recognition. Emily also found some great push-toys for her daughter as well as some books.
I took the boys garage saleing for a little while yesterday too and found a really nice wooden art easel (dry erase on one side and chalkboard on the other) for $10. It needed a little TLC as there was marker on the wood and also the chalkboard, but after trying various cleaning solutions, I found that fingernail polish remover did the trick. It looks pretty good now! It also has a rod for an art paper roll, so I've been researching where to buy a spool of paper for the easel. I have not been able to clean all of the dry erase marker off of the whiteboard yet, so if anyone has a suggestion of a cleaner that might help, please let me know.
What a great weekend for garage saleing!
