THE Yard Sales that keep you coming back...

Almost every Saturday morning, I wake up at the crack of dawn and head out to the yard sales & local flea market. Being in a small town, I often come back home empty handed. There just isn't much to find, or the stuff is not so great! But it seems like, about once a year, I have a Saturday yard sale experience that will just blow your socks off! Treasures are everywhere, and I get to them before someone else does! LOL! These are the Yard Sale Days that keep you coming back...drive you to get up each Saturday morning...to capture the high and excitement of that great BARGAIN day, you are sure is going to be THAT day! And if it isn't, oh well, there is always next Saturday!


TODAY was that day! I was on such a roll, my Hardees Biscuit had to be put off! I was on a mission, finding something at each yard sale! I was pretty proud of the junk I brought home today! "smiles"

The Strawberry Basket was $1.25!!!

The lady told me that her brother's grandmother-in-law had used it to pick her strawberries with.

The handle is a tree branch & the side handles are handcarved wood!

The quart baskets and dirt were free! LOL!

I'm not sure what I will do with it, but I just loved it...and who sells something like this with so much history???

The tongs were 10 CENT!!!

The old metal beige trash can is in great shape, purchased for a whole 25 cents! The inside is GOLD.

The pyrex and metal pans were 25 cents each, too! I was pretty excited to find the pyrex dish! I had broken mine this size, before Christmas, and refused to buy a new one...I knew one would pop up at a yard sale!

And then there is the Maxine cookie jar by J. Wagner....in perfect condition! It really doesn't go with my rooster & fruit kitchen decor, but maybe I can use it in my pantry. It is sure to bring a smile when I open the door and there she sits...full of cookies, no doubt! Oh, she was $4.00, I believe!

Another view of Maxine!

The serving set was $8.00, probably a little high, but it was really nice...and new! The pieces are really beautiful! Plus, I found it at the Relay For Life yard sale, and all the proceeds were going to the American Cancer Society! I was feeling a little generous for such a good cause! :)

Sally Huss Tote/Bag...only $3.00! The lady said she never used it, so I guess that qualifies as Brand New! I just loved the colors and I love Sally Huss designs...so cheerful & bright!

The little glass bowls were 25 cents a piece! They come is so handy and had no chips!

I just loved the little stocking taper holders! I included another picture just to show them off a little better! LOL! They were new and were only $2.00!

And last but not least, my rooster platter...$4.00, New in the box! Now this WILL find a home in my kitchen!

Well, I'm off to load the dishwasher with my "stuff"...and scour them with hot water & soap! I try to never think where this stuff may have been or what it may have been through, especially if the price is right! LOL!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far! ~Rhonda
