It's once a year, and a social event for us. It's a chance to get out and say hey to those we see rarely, visit with those we know better, and, most importantly, find some treasures.
A couple years ago I found very little, and last year we sold, so were out of the loop.
This year we had to make three trips back to the house with our loot.
I found hankies, and when the woman asked what I did with them, and Wonderful Guy said 'mostly she stores them in hankie boxes', the nice lady went inside and brought out one which she offered for only $2! It's in very good shape and I know that Dearest Sister is very jealous reading this.
I found other bit and pieces of this and that, some blank journals, a book, a wall shelf, a few bebe items, and potential gifts (shhhhh!). There were also young children selling kool-aid! Too much fun to pass that up.
Wonderful Guy? He found a bathroom sink. Now lest one ponders this purchase ($2) unduly, it's must be known that our guest room sink has long had a chip, a rather large chip in the porcelain, and of recent, Mr. Wonderful dropped glass in his sink and made a small chip there as well.
I wonder which sink will be replaced? The one with the bigger defect? or the one he sees every day?

Welcome...
...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.

Sounds like a good time! Interesting how our accumulating and divesting goes in cycles!!Love, WS
I am jealous! Living in a place with no basements, means that noone has any long stored treasure!
So you were able to get everything and the (kitchen) sink!!
