Yard Sales Rock!
Sep. 26th, 2009 02:03 pmToday is the fall city-wide yard sale here. Basically, lots of people in town holding yard sales on the same day, and no permit required. We toyed with having one ourselves, but since the DH had a seminar this weekend, I decided it would be too much work for me on my own.
Instead, I took a few bucks and cruised the yard sales myself.
For $6.50, I got several really nice Christmas and Halloween decorations at one house. .25 bought me a goblet-shaped wooden pencil holder that will work great with my calligraphy pens.
But-- my most awesome score: at one house a lady was obviously a crafter, and I was tempted by a number of items-- but found a knitting tote bag, cute little canvas bag with a kitten playing with a ball of yarn printed on the front, and it was filled with knitting needles. She only wanted $5 for all of it!!!
