On the Road Again

Oh how I love spring with the fresh scent of yard sale signs in the air...ahh, the long, cold winter of only auctions and thrift store shopping is over.

This morning Linda, her mom Lee and I were out and about in the big, blue van and didn't know which way to go first. There were multi-family yard sales, and estate sales and garage sales in every direction. We settled on heading fifteen-minutes north to an area that listed several multi-family yard sales, hoping we could have as many sales as possible in close proximity.

Of course, we didn't even make it out of town without spotting one that looked too good to pass up...so we didn't. And I'm glad. I found a couple really neat things, like this 60's mod picnic basket. Only 9" x 6" and it holds complete place settings, bowls, cups and utensils for four - and just so funky looking.








When we got to Jacobus, we found a development having a community sale, but there wasn't much but newer, plastic items, or over-priced antiques.

Then we found a few more in the area and our luck changed. I bought a whole box of blue-glass mason jars that someone might like to buy from my etsy.com site as vases for their outside wedding (this is becoming popular).
After several more stops, it started to get late and our purses were getting depleted, but we decided to stop at one last sale. And we were all glad we did, especially Lee, who we decided was the "winner" for the day with this great 50's drink mixer she found for $2.
Tomorrow morning, two church sales...oh I do love the spring.
