This week is staycation week for me. And I’m loving every minute of it! I knew I missed being at home all the time, but being here more than two days in a row has really confirmed just how much I do miss it. I mean, who wouldn’t want to look out their kitchen window [...]
Or: The Ensuing Hilarity May Or May Not Have Anything To Do With Free Margaritas Did I use the word tomorrow in the last post? Oops. My bad. Sorry. Erin and I went to market on Saturday. Week ago Saturday, not the other day. I swung by her house and picked her up. She lives [...]
The July 2010 Atlanta Gift Mart is in progress as we speak. I haven’t been to a Big One in years. You probably know this, but they have four markets a year. January and July are HUGE. Massive. Impossible to see it all, impossible to navigate without a plan and extremely hard even with a [...]
The weekend was not the end of the pickin’ dry spell I was hoping for. My friend Jeri and I went to a few yard sales in her town on Friday, but they were just blah yard sales. Bought nothing. Saturday fared a little better. Six estate sales. True estates, not pretend estates. Well, except [...]
Could this yard sale in the 1930′s be the first ever held here in Sylacauga? This was featured in the local paper in 1998, by Beryl Pitchford, one of the children in the photo. Hope she doesn’t mind my sharing it! Wouldn’t we love to get hold of some of the yard sale junk? I’ve [...]
As promised, here’s part II of this past weekend’s sales. Yesterday, I showed the picture of the out building with thousands of ’80′s seasonal decorations. Little did I know that that was just a drop in the bucket of what was inside the house. This lady, God love her, was a shopaholic. And apparently in [...]
Can you see him? The first sale of Friday had a line and numbers. I got my number, #22, and walked around the property while I waited. Oddly, no one else was hanging out at the fence looking at the llamas. There was another in there over on the right. You can make out his [...]
About a month ago I found a hidden yard sale. It was advertised and actually had a sign in the front, but it was later in the afternoon and there was no sign of a sale. I rode by. Twice. And was about to leave when I saw another car slowly ride by, back up [...]
Can you believe it? I got lucky recently. These paper mache rooster plates had just been put out. I’m betting they wouldn’t have stayed long. I sure snapped them up! I tried really hard to use them at home. They’re the right colors, but they just didn’t work for me. Boo! Maybe they’re right for [...]
Ah, not much to report this week. This past weekend was a complete bust. Hung around town, didn’t buy a thing. But last week’s stuff still remains to be reported, so here it is. It was raining. Again. I’d gone to the Birmingham area. Again. Went to two, count ‘em, 2 estate sales. The first [...]
