Yard Sales :: Week 2

We had so much fun last week, that we went to more garage sales this morning! This time we did it right and got up early. Many of the ads warn against Early Birds, and one home-owner even said she had people show up at 6:30 am, but she made them wait until they opened at 8. I hope I'm never that crazy. We definitely cannot do this every week because I will end up with too much stuff. Today's finds include a pie cooling cabinet that is perfect for the entry way, a white chair, a beautiful old copy of A Girl of the Limberlost from 1909, 2 wooden boxes for craft supplies (the big one is handmade), spice jars with cork lids, enamel bowl, metal bucket, a little watering can, and 2 more bottles. Whew!

My Finds


Yesterday we went to a few garage sales and these are the items that came home with me. I guess they call them yard sales here and you must pronounce that "yahd" sale. Some people even write that on the signs. Anyway, I wasn't having any luck until the last stop! My favorite is the ring holder. The original state and post-polish state are below.
