THIS is a Yard Sale

I stopped by this house yesterday for a visit and saw the plan. The tables were set up. A Yard Sale in the making. Anticipation.

Today when I went by, it looked a little different. And you know I had to shop!

Not everything was out. In fact, as the sale goes on, more things are put out. These folks don't mess around. They have lots and lots to sell!

While I don't think I need these, I sure do like them!

Green boxes? Love 'em!

Check it out. No clothes. Ahhh, they'll throw some out to appease the masses. But, there is plenty here to keep a shopper busy. In fact, I know good and well when I drop by later tonight, more stuff will be out. Heck, it was only about half done when I was there earlier!



My parents know how to throw a yard sale, I tell ya! Nope. No shopping online, no shipping. If you are local to the Dallas area, give me a holler and we'll discuss location, location, location. The sale runs Thursday morning through Saturday afternoon, depending on the weather.



Good stuff, huh? And you thought I didn't come by my love of salvaged stuff honestly?



Happy Wednesday!

  4. This just made me laugh but also want to go so badly! Too bad I'm in Iowa!, I am a new follower. I found you through my sweetie Kate on FB so I just knew you were a blogger. Well you are too funny. I love the chair you scored but I think I'm loving the birds just a smidge more!

    MALisa, not at all!

    Elizabeth, hello pretty lady! Good to hear from you! Glad you like the photos. Mom and Dad were laughing as I snapped away.

  8. What a sale this is! Sad but I don't get to TX until Saturday afternoon, boo,hoo!!! But I will be doing some junking while I'm there, Yeah!!! But it must fit in the suitcase this year! I think I own stock in UPS for all the shipping I've done back to Oregon. Budget, budget this year. I hope you sell lots!!!!
