I'm Chris and I am addicted to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores and bargain hunting in general. Visit my site yardsalequeen.com - which I started in 1996. "Smile" and "VV" (Vintage Value) are the names of two thrift stores I regularly shop at. I grew up in Clifton Park NY but now live in Lusby, MD. I also lived in other exciting locales such as Schenectady, Watervliet (NY), and Charleston, SC.

A few buys from this week - early Christmas presents
Man, I wish I had found these items last month - they could have been Mother's Day gifts! But now I gotta save them until Christmas. The thing on the left is a $2 religious dust collector. My mom sorta collects religious stuff that looks like this. Or maybe it was that she had ONE item like this at one time and I took it upon myself to buy her more since I never know what to buy her. But I think she will like it since it's egg shaped and she's 100% Ukrainian.
And my mom is a big Food TV fan and she had other Paula Deen books. This one was a $1. (My sister met Paula Deen at the Nashville airport a few years back and said she was as nice as she seems on tv. My sister ran into the airport gift store and bought a copy of Paula's magazine and got it autographed).
i love the egg!! it looks like ones i bought in ukraine in '05 -- so it might be a "real" ukrainian one!
