Garage Sales

[DianaB]

Janet says that I need to tell about the HUGE garage sale that I went to! So here I go.

I saw the ad in the paper and we all had a big laugh over it because it mentioned that they even had shopping carts!!! Funny thing is is that we used the shopping carts too!!! They had the garage sale at our fairgrounds in the largest building where it was inside (good thing because it was raining!). They had probably 20-25 tables sit up around the edges of the building and there were lots and lots of boxes all in the middle of the floor. Lynette and I went around the edges and checked things out and picked up a few things. Oh, and out of all of this stuff only 4 tables had clothes on them. It was all "stuff"!! I got a few little girl clothes for my daughter, Dae Lynn's boyfriend's daughter. I got a nice shirt for myself. I picked up a few Hallmark ornaments and a Mikasa ornament. I got an old perfume bottle that looks like an oil lamp to go with my miniature stuff. When Lynnette and I checked what time it was we had to hurry home because she had to get ready for her family reunion.

When we got home Dae Lynn was there and after Rick and Lynette left she wanted to go into the garage sale too so we went back in. I went through the boxes on the floor a little better and I found an old (I think it's old) child's plate with an alphabet around the edges. I found another miniature perfume bottle that looks like candlestick. It's so cute! I found a clear bowl that's what I call "oatmeal pattern" and a small bowl to match my Pfaltzgraff Tea Rose dishes. And a box of Vaseline bath stuff! Oh, and I also got 4 punches for scrapbooking! It was a fun garage sale with all of the stuff and exciting to dig around and look for things! They even had a lot of new things. I really couldn't figure out why they had so much new stuff. But they had lots of just junk too! You never know when you're going to find some little treasure!!! I love it!!!!
