Rain, Rain, Go Away

It started raining sometime Thursday afternoon, and now here it is Sunday night, late, and it. is. still. raining. Still. raining. And, it is only 52 degrees outside so it feels like an old cold winter weekend. And, on an actual cold Winter weekend that is okay. But on the first weekend of May, that is simply not acceptable. Not. acceptable. It seriously cuts into my junking time. Yesterday there was a community yard sale in the high school parking lot. Cancelled. A Flea Market out at the landlocked waterwheel I love. Cancelled. Springfest. Cancelled. War Eagle Craft Fair. Cancelled.

Cancelled.

Scmancelled.

*Sigh. What's a girl got to do to get some junk around here?

Luckily, Thursday morning I got wind of a sale that sounded promising, so I hit it early. Sadly, it was a bust and I left empty handed. On the way home, I found a huge indoor sale, so that was a nice treat. I found a few goodies, but not much to get excited over. I mistakenly thought that it was just a few goodies to tide me over until the weekend. Wrong-O. That was IT.

Oh well, here are the goods.


A box of Cabbage Patch Preemie Doll Diapers. Too teeny and cute to leave behind. ebay bound.

A huge shell planter. It is bigger than a bowling ball. I know it is hard to tell in this photo, but it is BIG. I really want to put it out by the pink glider with pink Petunias in it, but it doesn't have a drainage hole, so that won't work at all. I might sell it, who knows.

A double cheruby vasey sort of thing. Not my usual speed, but it fits in with my white pottery and will be good for my Valentine's Day decor.
A single white cheruby vasey sort of thing. Not my usual speed, but it will go...oh, wait, I already said that......

I did find one particularly good score that made me happy.

Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Seinfeld - still shrink wrapped and brand spanking new-ola. I hesitated to ask the price of these DVD sets because most people seem to think DVD's are golden at yard sales and usually price them at nearly retail, if not more. But, I decided I might as well ask. What the heck, right? A lot of whispering and discussion ensued and the final decision was $1.00. $4.00 for four boxed sets of my Seinfeld! Deal! Then, when I checked out I discovered that they only wanted a dollar for THEM ALL. One buckaroo for all that yadda yadda Seinfeld. That, my friends, was worth the trip!

The weatherman is yapping right now saying that the rain won't end until Saturday. Holey Guacamole. That is a long time. ;o(
