I've seen a creepy clown at a thrift store I visit for about three weeks now - each time I keep hoping he's gone, but he looks at me when I go there with that silly grin..........YIKES! Send yours to the clown pasture! You don't know what he does at night!PocketChangenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-67525807034278348242010-04-07T10:09:14.581-05:002010-04-07T10:09:14.581-05:00Your son made me laugh... cuz I too think most clo...Your son made me laugh... cuz I too think most clowns look sorta creepy.

The stuff with the white pegs is usually IKEA stuff. The stuff with the round brown pegs is old thomas. The stuff with no pegs is usually thomas. The roundabout (circle thing) is missing it's important bit in the middle. It looks like there is one "destination", that farm (?) building. (Not sure what that one is, we don't have it or the red thing next to it.)<br /><br />The trains don't go with that track. They go with blue plastic track. It looks like 4 of them are missing the battery covers. (Which really makes those four worthless. Too frustrating for small fries. Too dangerous, etc.)Sarah and Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618358656098944111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-55676374140963595182010-04-02T06:36:07.182-05:002010-04-02T06:36:07.182-05:00Thomas the Train sets are expensive so I'm sur...Thomas the Train sets are expensive so I'm sure you got a good deal on those and can resell them. But I'm not so sure about all the other stuff. The clown is supper creepy. Sometimes I find myself buying stupid stuff at yardsales too. I'm not sure what it is about seeing all the strange stuff out there that makes you want to buy something with no purpose.miniannaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729665494852851767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-57566177375524274502010-04-02T03:09:33.853-05:002010-04-02T03:09:33.853-05:00Are you going to list the train set on Etsy?
