Yard Sailing

We went to two neighborhoods and a fund raiser.
The fundraiser had so much rusty junk it was pitiful but I hope they raised the funds they needed.
There I found new Prang Watercolors (THE BEST!), and a little thatched cottage tea pot with sugar and creamer (made in Japan), just like my Mom use to have.

Again, two more books, one Fast Food Nation and another about Cows (for a friend).
My daughter got a clip on hard cell phone holder.
My son got a crazy pair of glasses with 2006, and the 00 are lenses for the eyes. He also got a crazy chicken puppet to go with his "Old Mr. Jenkins" act since he tells a bunch of chicken jokes.
I don't know how he is going to do the chicken puppet and hold onto his cane.
Then three articles of new clothing with tags, a basic white Gap shirt (daughter), a Gap polo (husband) and a little summer shift for me to keep me cooler than I already am. LOL

Interesting things we saw but did not buy:
1. Reseeding pansies -- not for sale but the lady had quite a patch of them. They looked so perfect.
2. Wrought Iron Fish tank stand -- it was $5.00 and had potential -- add a top with some of those meshed tiles you can get at Home Depot to create a deck table or grill counter top.
3. My husband passed on the lifetime supply of copper wire for $20. (thank god he did!)
4. Old railroad lantern made into a swag light for $100. -- not a yardsale price.
5. Overpriced art supplies -- geesh! used and priced nearly the orignal prices.
6. Stacking lawn loungers out of PVC but they looked like they took up too much storage space.
7. Someone got the doll house kit before I saw it (when they were paying). I asked my husband if he saw it and he said yes and I asked him WHY he did not tell me! yeah, too busy looking at the rusty junk and cooper wire. Then we passed a table with the "Whose in the Dog House" sign and you put their name on the bones and hang it in the house, should have written his name on one of the bones.

Cheap thrills and lots of fun for $10 total.
