Jackpot!


My neighbor is the queen of yardsaling. She just seems to know where all of the amazing sales are and has the house to prove it. It reminds me of a Pottery Barn advertisement, except it truly is vintage beauty! So naturally, when I heard her stirring early Saturday morning, I assumed she was headed out for the hunt. She told me where she was headed...even gave me the address!



"Contents of house sales are always the best!" she said. A lesson not to be taken lightly from such a professional! Knowing we'd already had plans, I didn't initially plan to trail after her. After talking to my husband, he told me to go! I got in the car, iphone armed, ready to find her destination. After about an hour, I felt like I was on a wild goose chase. This so called house sale was nowhere to be found! So I counted my losses and headed towards home, hoping to hit a few smaller sales along the way.



The day was not lost! I hit the jackpot! Contents of house (and a phone number for later pokings!) later, I scored quite a few nice pieces of fabric, some notions, a great apple crate, and some hand embroidered pillow cases! How much better could a yardsale get?!

Thanks! Yeah, the crate..I think it surprised her (a totally inexperienced sale holder) that I wanted it. She had other stuff in it and it was actually finally empty and by the other boxes! Talk about a score :)
