Garage Sale Season Is Officialy Opened

We are having our town wide garage sale this weekend. I hit the road as soon as I waved to my kids getting on the bus, bye, love you, have a great day. Get in the car quick, the little guy's snack was packed and we were off.


My first stop is the old farmhouse down the road, they always put out the best stuff. I didn't even let the guy unload from his truck. I bought two chairs, a small white bench and a red stool.

And then I spied a dresser in the barn, excuse me Sir, are you selling that dresser, "well yes I am," he said "but I didn't get it out yet, I thought it was going to rain." Mind you, it is only 8:30 AM. Oh you don't have to bother moving it to the front yard, I will pay for it and come back and get it later. I skipped back to the car. There really was no need to look anymore, I was already a happy camper, but I will.

The picture doesn't show it but it is YELLOW, soon to be WHITE!

 

And, of course I did. It was slim pickings this year. I was able to find a small bench that I have been looking for to use my burlap on.

 Just don't let Berries sit on it.

I did quite a few drive bys, I was not in the mood to look through kids cloths and have my son whine that he needed a new toy, NOT. So we headed back to pick up all my treasures. Lucky timing for me, another neighbor was also out looking for treasures to resell in his barn. I have met him before and I knew he sold furniture out of his big red barn, but I always thought he refinished them. Oh no, he has a little of everything and he was on his way home to put the open sign up. Well let me just unload my car and I will be right there.

The clouds cleared and the ray of sunshine was upon me. This man had so much WHITE in his barn, how do I wipe this stupid grin off my face. He seems to love chairs a more than me if that is possible. I could not believe I had never stopped by his barn before, that might actually be a good thing. I bought two more white chairs for my gardens, a white bench seat, with a lift up lid for my mud room and a white potting stand.

Do you see the theme here?

With a wave he told me to "stop on back."

"Oh, don't worry, I will, you have a mantel and a bed frame that I might just have to come back for."

Here is a picture of all my new treasures.

My favorite treasure of the day is this little rose pitcher, it is just perfect and I can't wait to get it home.

I am going back out again tomorrow. Insert evil laugh here, hahahahaha.

Um honey about those groceries, I got side tracked on the way to the grocery store. Do we REALLY need milk today. Isn't life just grand! I hope you have as good a weekend as mine has already been, and it has only just started.

If anyone has seen Blossom, tell her I have been looking for her.
