I love Garage Sales!


Well, our trip to the world's longest yard sale is getting closer.  It is the first weekend in August.  I am getting anxious to go hunting and digging to see what I can find.  The one thing about yard sales, you just never know what treasure might be awaiting you in the most unexpected places.  Over the years, I have found some great collectibles at yard sales.  In fact, some of my favorite things have come from yard sales.  One example is the picture above.  I bought it at a yard sale for 25 cents!  It has in inscription printed below the picture that says "Grandfather's Pet, William H Snape, 1885-1892."  I am sure it is just a print, but I love it anyway.   It hangs in my office/sewing room.  It just gives me a cozy feeling when I look at it.  Hopefully, I will bring home some real treasures, either for the shop (or for myself) from our trip this  year.

  3. Must be a "Robin" thing (or a "Wisconsin" thing!), but I never seem to find anything at garage sales either - 'cept baby clothes....and thank you, no, I'm not in the market for those! Lovely picture - and awesome price!! I'm so jealous that you get to go to the world's longest yard sale....Can't wait to see what you find. (On second thought, it's probably a good thing I don't get to go, I'd probably come back with a U Haul trailer full!) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
