Yard Sale, Tag Sale

~ One mans trash..... ~

With storms predicted, there were not many sales this weekend. One was at a school and I found a few treasures there for my booth at Nellybee's. My favorite find was in a 'neighborhood' sale. Several houses had items in the yard, on the carport or sidewalk, but this very heavy elephant shelf is my favorite find of the day!
There are two shelves, one being right below the elephants. It's made completely of wrought iron, two feet high, one foot wide. There are hooks below the bottom shelf. The home owner had mostly Africa theme items. I'm still considering keeping this! Only problem is, I have no where to hang such a heavy piece! I'm pricing it high, tho, so it will stay in my booth for a while for me to enjoy!

Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

~ Awake, thou wintry earth.
Fling off thy sadness!

Fair vernal flowers,
laugh forth Your ancient gladness!

Christ is risen ~

These were some of my Easter bunnies at my booth. I noticed yesterday some of them have been sold. I hope they look nice in their new homes :)
As far as Spring....It's going to be in the 20's here, so will probably bring the goats into the basement since they have been shedding their winter coats for several weeks.
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter and a Happy Spring!

Cat Tree!

~ Cats seem to go on the principle
that it never does any harm to
ask
for what they want ~
-- Joseph Wood Krutch --


OK, so I have a little booth at Nellybee's and go to estate, yard and tag sales to buy things for my booth.
As everyone knows, the furkids are always in my mind so when I found this almost brand new cat tree for $15.00 I had to have it!
There was a problem, someone else had just bought it. After finding out how much my furkids would enjoy the tree, she let me buy it from her!


Inspection is being done by Timothy from a table, Bandit on top, and Anna Sue on the floor.

Thanks Lady, for letting us buy this great Toy!!

Yard sale pays off!

~ One man's trash...... ~

Finally found a nice item to sell at my booth! A 1940's McCoy Swan and Reeds vase. If the house is open for the sale, I go to the basement first. Sometimes items are there, like this vase, that the owners do not think is worth selling or is marked cheap.
The weather should be getting warmer in a few more weeks which will make it much better for treasure hunting!

Yard Sale~Tag Sale~Estate Sale

~ One man's trash . . . ~

Still slim pickins' at yard sales, or as some advertise them,
'Estate Sales'
One little dish with blue flowers, a little cat to hold something tiny, three pictures on tile, a brass stamp holder and a little pitcher.
I like the fruit pictures, but need to put them in my booth.
It's hard to let the little cat go, may buy it from myself :)
