Lissa and I hit yard sales yesterday. There weren't a lot, but, I got some cool junk to make yard ornaments out of for 25 cents each. Lissa found a Hannah Montana products table, but, she's kind of over her, so all she got was a wallet and key chain. (She actually asked the lady if she had any Kesha, ha.) We found a cool looking old leather card table with a checkerboard painted on it for a buck. And I got an ancient genuine horse hair chair. For two bucks! It's ugly cool, in bad, but, passable shape, but, so heavy it's still in the car. I'll show it to you when I muster enough muscle to get it out. (And figure out if there are critters living in it.) Oh, and I got a pale pink Polo Sports bag, the lady proudly pointed out the label. It meant nothing to me, but, it's a good bag for Summer and it was a quarter. Brand new. My hobo bag had ironically broken it's strap at this yard sale. Good timing.

ReplyDeleteI love you! Hope you have a great day!
I am loving that crazy cat lady!!! If I found that anywhere I would have to have it, but I also like the cat portrait with the kitty in the beautiful (midieval) costume.
ReplyDeleteIt's true. You do find some of the most outrageous, wonderful stuff at these stores. You just need to be patient enough to look for it.
Years ago I found a lovely key chain at one of these places. It was a plastic rendition of a lit cigarette. Classic. Who would buy, or use something like that?
Yesterday we went cruising garage/yard sales. Not many going on, but I did find a lot of small items to buy. I bought a lovely little wooden crate, only about 3-4 inches tall, but about 2 feet square, that I will use to make the fairy garden I have been wanting to have for years. I also found a few books on adding a water feature to a yard, and some cast iron pieces for cooking. I found a beautiful metal doll house from the early 60's, that needs just a little TLC, and will be mounted on the wall in the back room as a little cupboard for scrapbooking supplies. It's embarrassing, actually. The trunk and the back seat of the car are still loaded up. Great small finds day.

Casey, I'm ignoring it as usual. I've zero interest in net fights and no one should even defend themselves against lies or slander because then you just get into pages and pages of crap no one else wants to read. And I can find no heart in hating on people who are disturbed.
ReplyDeleteLove you too, thanks. ps..I gave grandma a birdhouse shaped like a trailer..with pink flamingo. It's funny as hell.
Christina, OMG, you are brilliant. I had one of those metal doll houses and got rid of it because I have no space for it. Shit, Shit! I could have copied you! Will you send me a pic when you get it done? I would love to see it. There's a house here in town that looks exactly like those 60's metal houses. I'll pic it.
ReplyDeleteps..I would have bought the ciggie. LOL.
ps..Does anyone love the creepy child painting? It scared me, but, I'd buy it.
ReplyDeleteWe have a crazy cat lady action figure. I bought it at a second hand store a few years ago and gave it to my sister for Christmas.

That's funny. She looks crazy too, if you click the pic. Her eyes! Looks like a man in drag with a bad wig. Like Norman Bates. OMG. Did your sister laugh?
ReplyDeleteShe loved it. I was going to give it to my grandma, but it would just get lost in her house. My sister had it out (still in package) until she packed stuff up to move. It will come back out once we are settled.

The picture with the Medieval lady doesn't have a cat, it's actually an ermine. And you spelled Medieval wrong. So get you facts straight before you use them against somebody...
ReplyDeleteWTF are you talking about??
