By the Numbers

 

I went to 2 sales this weekend. The first 1, well, it was a dud. Or at least it was by the time that I got there 2 hours or so in.

 

The second sale was a little better because I found at least 5 things worth buying and I got to catch up a little with Barb, who was also there. And that made me smile. And, yes, maybe it was a weird smile just like this.

In addition to these numbered tiles from a game called RummyTyle, there was 1 Scrabble game.

 

 

1 set of Tupperware salt and pepper shakers (or is that 2 shakers?) still in their original bag. 

 

1 box of Shiny Brites, 12 ornaments. Not the prettiest, I know, but they're just what you need if you're making an ornament wreath and need to fill in here and there.

And finally, the best deal.

 

3 vintage Christmas stockings that I'm sure held many treasures for Sheri, Carmen and Suzy. Carmen, by the way, must have been the favorite child because his stocking was different from his sisters and there was a lot more gold glitter flourishing under his name.

So to even things out, I removed the gold glitter, which as luck would have it, peeled right off.

And speaking of numbers, the countdown is on for the Annual Spring Cleanup. It starts in 7 days although it's more like 5 or 6 because that's when castoffs will hit the curb.

But much more about that in my next post.

Great finds, especially those stockings! Wishing you lots of good junk mojo for Spring Cleanup. We used to have that too, and I always looked forward to it, but now we all have a flat garbage rate and can put out as much stuff as we want, any week. It sure sucked the fun out of garbage day for me!

Loving the stockings and all the number reference going on today! Can't wait for the goodies to start showing up curbside. I would love to run into you or Barbara at a sale...altho I know the competition would be there too!

Gr8 scores! You know I love those stockings and how lucky that those names just peeled off. Usually they're glued on to survive nuclear winter.

Those stockings look cool - I've never found any at the sales I go to! Looking forward to reports from the annual spring clean-up - wish my town did that!
