I went to my first yardsale of 2012 (last weekend) so I know the yardsale season as officially begun. For $3 I bought a leather Stone Mountain handbag. Yes I know I already have the best handbag ever made which I currently still use and love but for $3, it doesn't hurt to have a little variety now and then.
And tomorrow I will shop at an indoor church yardsale, but then I have a feeling there may be a dry spell until springtime. But you never know.
I had a few other buys this week - from a thrift store. I was looking at our old rubbermaid kitchen sink dish drain the other night and thinking how old and gross it looked. And ta-da, just the next day I spot a brand new, never used one for $2.50.
I wish I had instead been looking at my old and gross mini-van and found a new one for $2.50.
Did anyone catch Storage Wars the other day where Barry Weiss found some old glass collectible fly catcher jars? The day after watching it, I found a blue glass fly catcher jar. The cashier had no idea what it was. I don't think it's old but for $1 I had to get it.
Oh and I bought an orange chair for $4. Depending on how the pictures turn out, my plan is to use it as a backdrop for when I take pics for ebay.
I watched that storage wars expisode! Did you see the one where he dresses as a hobo?? Strange guy but good show. Great blog. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell for sure from that one picture, but the orange chair looks like an Eames fiberglass chair. If so, that's a great score for $4!
ReplyDeletewho is the maker of the orange chair?
ReplyDeletefirst thing I did when I saw the chair was to turn it over and look for markings - but didn't see any.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on the chair!!
