Yard Sale Treasures - 08/30/08 - Stuff I Bought...







Hey, I got so carried away telling you all about the awesome cars I saw on Saturday and our trip to the Animal Shelter to adopt Hank for my niece and NIL; and about the nice man who took time out of his day to tell me about them that I forgot to show you what I bought Saturday. I'm also missing a few things that I already gave my niece for her new 1st grade classroom but I'll tell you about them. We got an awesome 3 drawer storage caddy for $3.00, some books for $0.25 each (as she's a reading teacher) and an awesome really oversized book for $1.00. I also got what you see here: the hilarious concrete pig on a swing (what every good southern home needs swinging from the tree waiting on the next storm...) for $2.00; the bag of vintage cookie cutters for only $3.00; the Sigrid Olson chartreuse green leather purse (which they were asking $20.00 for - even at a yard sale, but I talked 'em down to $15.00 since I bought several other things); a vintage eyeglass case for $1.00; an awesome large green glass vase with a white swirl (which I plan to put vintage Christmas ornaments in for the holidays on my table); and the awesome vintage 50's "Featherflite" picnic jug for $5.00 (from the people with the awesome cars) and she threw the red green and yellow doily in for free!

Yard Sale Treasures - August 30, 2008






Well, happy Saturday and I was so happy that it was decent weather for yard sales again today since we're in between Hurricanes and Tropical Storms; thank goodness for that as I was going into withdrawals from yard sales (I know, I know, it's only been a few weeks since we got back from the Longest Yard Sale trip but when you love it as good as I do even 2 Saturdays without it can send me into withdrawals)! The pictures above are from this one awesome yard sale today where I got an awesome 50's picnic thermos jug for $5.00, a great extra large children's book (for my niece who is a first grade teacher - and I gave it to her before I took a picture today...) and a cute crochet doily that the nice homeowner through in for free. Check out their beautiful yard and awesome old cars that the man was so kind to tell me all about and send my hubby (the car fanatic) into "car envy". They were great and he told me all about how he goes to the Barrett Jackson auctions and bids against Jay Leno on some of them. Must be nice to live the high life but at least there's kind people like this family who shared it all with me today when I went to their yard sale.
