The Breadman came straight home from work and took a nap and The Bean was resting on the couch, so I announced I was going to the booth for a bit. I ended up being gone about four hours! I went to several yard sales and found Lara at my booth (!) so we shopped around a bit at my store and at her store. Plus I did take in a bunch of new things and reworked the booth. I thought there would be a lot of yard sales, but there weren't that many. Tomorrow looks like there will be a LOT, but not sure if I will go or not. I'm saving up for next weekend - NWA Largest Yard Sale.
I just found a few tings, but sometimes that is just the little bit of a high that you need to get through the day. I also bought a vintage metal medicine cabinet with a mirror that I cleaned up and put straight in the booth.
I paid more for those than I would have at a yard sale, but I just could NOT leave them behind. SO CUTE. I might, and when I say "might" I mean I don't want to, but I might sell one set. [I DON'T THINK I CAN DO IT.]
This old crock was only 25¢. I have no idea what it is or was, but any old piece of crockery is coming to my house when it is a quarter. It will end up at the booth or the Farm Fresh Sale.
These frames aren't anything special, except for the fact that I got thirty of them for $2.00! I've been cutting apart an old set of Children's Encyclopedia's (they are musty and worn and not in any condition to sell as a set), so I think I will put some of the cute old graphics in these frames. The opening is only about 3" square. I framed a picture of a frog and I might add old game piece letters that say "FROG" on it. Maybe?
The last yard sale that I went to had nothing that interested me and I was ready to leave, but the traffic was lined up because a big bicycle race was coming through. So, I just kept walking around and digging under things on the tables. I spied fringe so I pulled out this adorable little boy's vintage Western shirt. Isn't it just TOO cute? I also bought to little boy's 1980's IZOD sweaters and two sets of Hulk Hogan PJ's from the 1980's. (The sweaters and PJ's are in the washer, so no photos. Sorry!) I don't usually buy clothes, but vintage kid's clothes = awesome!
I hope the sales have started up for you too!
No rain today so it should be a good day for it!!! I also have a church rummage sale to go to if I get off the couch and computer and take a shower. Love the cowboy shirt. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteDon't sell the hangers. DON'T SELL THE HANGERS! Got it?
ReplyDeleteGlad that you found some junk to make you happy. Sometimes a little bit is all we need.
Have an awesome weekend!

That cowboy shirt is an awesome score and I love the idea of the illustrations in the little frames.
ReplyDeleteI need a junk fix, but I'm still helping Mom downsize and it's such a huge job. I am finding a few treasures here :) must share them soon!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
Those doll hangers are too cute and the cowboy shirt is a cool find!

Digging that cowboy shirt. Sometimes I wish some of the darling kids clothes came in my size!
ReplyDeletethose baby doll hangers sure are cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, keep the hangers! I had a booth at Junk Jubilee and sold all my kids hangers and now I regret it :(. That cowboy shirt is adorbs.
ReplyDeleteIf this old mind serves me right, don't you have a display of XTRA LARGE laundry accessories?! (Giant clothespin, etc.)... and wouldn't these 'tiny hangers' be an adorable accent?!! ...and wouldn't it be a Crime to get rid of them?!!
ReplyDeleteThat western shirt is Too.Stinking.Cute! Does it fit Hazel?
You could frame a bunch of things as a theme because a wall with like 12 of those frames in a grid would be so cool together! Love the frames. This past booth visit was the first time in about a month that I haven't bought anything from Jean!
