Treasures...

Warmer weather is always good for finding treasures...
This Saturday is the first of a series of mile long block sales that are coming up.

I always find things to buy.... albeit my standards for buying things are not as high as others *wink*
I am thinking about making a liner for my larger shopping cart. Nothing worse then not having room in your cart for your treasures!
Sometimes I see the original selling price on something and am shocked. This was the case with this brass/glass sand timer. I bought it for .50¢ and the original price was $49.95...wow.
It seems all I ever gravitate towards lately is things for my pirate backyard....

I finally bought some jewelry... its been a long while since I've done that. I befriended a 75 year old gal named Berta out at the swap meet about two years ago. I stop and talk to her every weekend, whether I buy something or not. She bags up all of the junk she doesn't want and sells me the bags for super cheap. I think all of this below cost me all of $7 bucks. I also buy some of her vintage necklaces too.... she is a real doll~
I'm excited about the mile long sales to begin! Bring it on!
big hugs,

  2. What some finds! I can't imagine a mile long sale! In the summer, we have village sales, so might have to hit one of them.
