Yardsale Friday and Saturday


In our neck of the woods we have what they call National Pike Days, three days of yardsale galore all along historical Rt. 40! I got to go on Friday and Saturday and of course I was in heaven, most of the sales had pretty cheap prices oh, there were some that wanted store prices but they didn’t sell very well, I think the highest I paid for an item was $5.00. That’s what I paid for this Coca Cola crate, I bought it to plant some flowers in it, down the road a bit was a man selling flowers and he was a big help in showing me what plants grew in shade only. I can’t wait to see it all grown in!

Isn’t it pretty on my table on the back porch?

Also found this Burpee watering can for a $1.00

So cute with the other ones!

I couldn’t pass up this wrought iron shelf with hooks for .75 yes, I know so cheap! At another sale I found these two faux (brand new) plants for .50 a piece then I added the watering can which was a yardsale find too a few years ago, and the little shovel from the hooks!

Look what’s blooming, we planted it about two years ago, a friend gave it to us and this year it bloomed!

I'm so glad I came across your site! A few years ago I was out for a walk with my kids when, in someone's garbage along the road, were two of those crates with 7UP on them! A teenage kid from the house was just there then so I, looking like a complete fool!, asked if I could take them! He thought I was completely nuts, shrugged and said that was fine! They have been sitting in the shed after that first year of planting and just a few days ago I thought about them again, trying to decide what to plant in them, and where they would look good! You have inspired me to haul them out and fill them!
