First Summer Tag Sale Finds!

Well it was my first Friday off of school for the summer break and I was going to sleep in but was awake at 6:00 am as usual. I had marked the tag sale ads the previous night, so I got up and went. I try not to have any expectations in finding anything, as to not be too disappointed. However, this morning I hit a great one!! I was going to hit some local ones in town first, but decided to go for the one on the outskirts of a small town nearby. So in about 10 minutes I was there. Antiques were advertised, but that saying you never know what that may mean? could be somethings that aren't so old and not my kind of stuff or it could be great stuff but so high nobodies going to buy it at that price. I was the first one to turn into the old farmhouse. Yea! an old farmhouse. A young looking lady was just bringing out the money box and her chair. ya, it was 30 minutes before her sale was advertised to open but, " Sure, she was open and ready!" At the first glance around the place I noticed an old sled, Ah! But I'm thinking how much will it be? $3.00, Id take it, entering the garage, I noticed a couple old suitcases, But I'm thinking How much? $1.00 each, OK! I like how this is looking!

I mentioned how she and I appeared to like the same things! Yea, she was a junker too but just had no room. NO ROOM? in that big old farmhouse. Boy would I like to go in and look around then? I found this cute little primitive mirror for $1. Several green handled utensils for $3 each. An old jar with zinc lid for $3.

I was tingly when I spied this old basket for $3! It's a great size. I can see geraniums in it on my porch!

And this old wooden barrel for $3. She had a smaller one she was using to put her plastic bags for the sale in.

These two great old bowls were priced for $3 each as is. Love them, have already used both of them! I just love old bowls:)

Here is a pic of the old sled, now an old sled is the last thing I needed. I have just a few already hanging around the porches and stored on hooks in the potting shed, but for $3, I couldn't pass it up.

I love love love the chippy paint. Well I headed home stopping at a few more, not even caring if I didn't find one more thing that weekend. And it was only Friday! Well I worked in the yard this past Sunday, Mike rode his motorcycle to Joplin Missouri with a few other thousand bikes to participate with the Patriot Guards to protect the victims of the tornado from the protesters from that radical Topeka church. He said it was unreal, the damage. Much worse than what you see on TV. I can't imagine what it would be like to loose everything, like so many of those people did.
