There have been many "town-wide" yard sales going on over the past few weekends and I haven't shopped a single one ... that would totally defeat my purpose of clearing out my own space, now wouldn't it? And to be honest the shopping funds are still a wee bit low from this ordeal.
On Saturday I broke the rule and had to stop at just one sale ... just one, I swear!
This is the home of a my neighborhood friend Valerie, a very talented and successful artist and designer ... it shows right? Valerie has her studio and shop located in town ... The Painted Cottage ... you can get a glimpse of the inside here.
Valerie also sells on line at Etsy ... you can find her shop here.
This is the spot I could have hung out all day ... the front porch swing ... positively dreamy.
These are the items that were here at 10am ... late by yardsale standards ... can you imagine what it looked like at 7am?

I kept my control and picked up only one item for a dollar ... very hard to do when you want to scoop it all up and jam it into the back of your truck! However, I enjoyed my visit and catching up on what's happening in the neighborhood ... FANTASTIC sale Val!
Wow - I would have bought everything she had out there! I'm guessing she did not have to schlep a lot of stuff back in at the end of the day!

After showing us all the pretties at the sale, you didn't show what you actually bought. I am intrigued what it could have been if you had passed on everything else. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI bought a wire hat form for displaying hats ... it's still all twisted up and needs to be shaped .. if I showed a pic, you would have no clue what it was ; )
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking!
