I had to wade through knee deep water for garage sale finds this weekend!

........but did I score! I went out in the pouring rain on Saturday morning, as there was a community sale at a gated 55plus condo development not far from me. They hold it once a year and I usually pick up a couple of things, not too much. Well.............it was well worth wading through knee deep water with my shoes on to get what I got!

 

Believe it or not there were alot of people at this community garage sale event. I took the above picture on a little strip that were no sales, but the cars were lined up along the street wherever there were garage doors open!

I got my feet wet when I crossed the road to this sale...........I was in there for about 10 minutes and it started raining buckets! The drainage couldn't keep up and the water was a foot deep across the road  so what was a girl to do?...........just walk through it to the car!

Shoes, jeans, up to the knees.

I DIDN'T CARE, I WAS SKY HIGH ON WHAT I GOT AT THAT PARTICULAR SALE!

Other enthusiastic and hardy garage salers were taking off their shoes and rolling up their pants to get into the sales! It was only in the odd area that it was bad like that, but it was contiunally pouring rain, so not much chance of staying dry!

I continued on and 2 more sales I also was on a high when I took my goodies to the car.

I looked like a drowned rat when I got home but I was loaded!

MORE  jewellery, rhinestones galore!

awesome china, even chintz!

linens!

old lidded picnic basket

beautiful old print in fab gesso frame

I will post pictures probably tomorrow, the rest of the weekend was busy, busy, and yesterday was the last day of the antique sale, so I have to unload the car yet, and I am in a real mess in the house.

Spread out all over the place.......gotta start putting away and cleaning up.

Watch for my finds, and enjoy your Memorial Day holiday, all of you in the USA!

Garage Sale Finds

On my way to the market yesterday, I stopped at a great garage sale just at the end of the road. I wish I could have stayed longer, they were just putting out the goodies, alot of estate items. I did get some items, even a card table which we can use at the market. I spent a whole $5.00 and got a few things more than what I'm showing you. I think the above is a cocktail shaker without the top part. It is as large as a quart sealer and has the greatest graphics on it. 25 cents!

2 Ukrainian embroidered pieces, the one on the right is a Rushnyk, the other I don't know what you'd call it. These were only 50 cents each and they're going right on ebay tomorrow!

I wish there had of been the sugar to this cute art deco creamer. The color is perfect for my kitchen. I'm using it for my milk in my coffee this morning. It's so cute! another 25 cents!

I think she charged me 50 cents for this gorgeous murano/chalet glass piece. I am not crazy about chalet glass with the long points, etc, but this I really like. It has the red and clear glass and a real nice design to it, which you can't really see from the picture.

Well, it is now 11:00 a.m. Sunday morning. I pulled on some clothes at 7:30 a.m. to run out to the garden to get some dill to go with the cucumbers that the husband is taking to the golf course for a lady friend golfer to pick up there. I then started taking pics for ebay listings and getting a few made up for tomorrow, I like to do that on Sunday mornings. I haven't even washed my face yet! I know you all do that too sometimes I'm sure! LOL!!

I now must hop in the shower then put on some spuds for the potato salad I want to make, also I have 2 apple pies to make.....husband peeled more apples for me (he knows I'll not get around to it). Gotta visit mom this afternoon, and Kiera will be over after her ringette. I'd better fly now!
