HIt the Mother load today
Well today i started out around 11 to go garage saling. The first one i hit the lady was packing up, she was getting ready to take it all to goodwill, I said i would save her trip if i could have all the stuff. She said yes. I filled my van full of vintage christmas stuff.Then i i hit 60 other sales.

No it was 60, this should have been in the thrift section. I think i was looking at this section and posted. Yes im very tired. We had fall festival for our county.Crafters, vendors ect I think it was like 7 small towns, but i only drove through our town and another town. Every year the the towns have there sales. I had fun. OH got my bread maker, It was a really nice one, the lady that was selling siad her mom bought it used it 1 time sat in on the shelf and never used it again and she passed last year. I got it for $8 also got 2 harvest dehydraters for $4 each.

Next to the satisfaction of scoring big when I go yard-saleing, is the satisfaction of hearing when another person does.
Have a good night's sleep!
