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