There's an Estate in Glen Rock?

It's Saturday morning, which means one thing, time to fire up the van, make a to-go cup of coffee and hit the road. This morning both Linda and I had to drop off our sons with the Boy Scouts at 7:20AM. Once the boys were deposited with the right people, we raced back to the van and consulted the list of yard sales we'd compiled from the paper and Craig's List - which I, very shortly after, lost.

We were especially excited for the first sale because it was advertised as an "Estate Sale in Glen Rock." Wow. How fancy.

Actually, not so much. When we arrived at the advertised address, we were faced with a steep gravel drive with cavernous pot holes and a rusted tractor in the distance (see picture to the right). The van ground it's way up the drive and we ended up in a small home, although with some nice things, meeting two very pleasant women running it. I bought a vintage Christmas tablecloth and Linda found a neat old clock.

After bouncing back down the drive, we headed out in search of more sales - without the benefit of the list. As we kept our eyes out for yard sale signs, Linda and I chatted, mostly about our concerns that both our usually docile sons had a love for shooting, war-type games on the X-Box. How could two such peace loving moms allow it? We never did reach an answer, but we did stumble upon another really good yard sale.

Linda's favorite find for the day was an old child's size aluminum rocker folding chair (check it out on her site - link to the right - very cool).

My favorite buy is an antique toy tool set (see below).
Unfortunately, no super weird stuff today - I'll try to find some more next week.


Can't wait to see where we end up next.
