Saturday, while Nik was sleeping, I took advantage of the warmth and went to my first yard sale of the season. I was glad to see how many were out, but there weren't a whole lot out there. The first, maybe, three that I found, didn't have anything interesting, and I passed them up with out even getting out of the car. I did find a small gift for Kristin, which I haven't given her yet, and a super cute blue elephant for Vivian's baby, and perhaps my favorite find, and something I will consider a good omen for the season to come, was a pair of slip covers for chairs, that match my slip cover on my couch! Great huh? The best part is that the family was moving to Singapore (spelling) and needed to sell everything, so I got them both for a dollar. Great! They don't fit exactly, but they fit well enough and I love them in my front room. I feel like I could actually have people over and they could sit down!
I know I have revived an interest in yard saleing (this is one of those verbs that is not actually a verb, like scrapbooking) in my family and friends, and I hope that they too can make it out soon, and see what the world has to offer!

Whenever I go to a yard sale, I lick the item I want, or rub it under my arm, and then I ask them "are you going to sell that?"
I like sleep!~
Hey, in Florida - we have sales year round! The best months are actually the winter - it is less humid and people like to be outside more! (I never take my husband with me to sales though - he evidently does wierd things!) lol
Remember... think of all the money you are saving buying at yard sales. Yes, saving money is what it's all about I've been told.. hundreds and hundreds of times. Glad you found those treasures.
Good post.
