Last year I scored big on large pots and saucers for my container garden, so I noticed they were setting up this afternoon and walked over to see if I could find more usable containers for planting. There were none, but my previous neighbor was in her usual good form....her table looks more like an upscale department store display than a yard sale! Of course, I pre-purchased a few things.
1. Two rose colored, oversized new bath towels. I'm trying to get the pups to sleep on the floor next to my bed instead of IN my bed. I made them a big soft pillow, and these towels will be the washable cover...and the rose color looks nice with my rose and green quilt. Cost: $1 for both.
2. New, nonstick cupcake pan. Cost: $1
2. One new and one lightly used 9" x 13" nonstick cake pans. Cost: $2 for both.
3. New (never ever used) Whirly Pop popcorn popper. Cost: $8
4. Two cut glass salad or punch bowls. These bowls are gorgeous, shine like diamonds, and are so heavy I could hardly lift both of them together (the picture doesn't do them justice)! I'm thinking they must be leaded glass (I know nothing about cut or leaded glass). Cost: $5 for the large one and $3 for the smaller one.
I think I made quite a haul for $20! I wonder what I'll find tomorrow.......
score!!! =)
ReplyDeleteThat was a good haul! It's fun to find useful items like that and give them new life and use.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find lots of large pots today. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHappy hunting !
ReplyDeleteKeep your eyes open for preserving jars - you can never have too many!
Oh wow! Gran, it looks like you scored big. I love finding kitchen stuff at a discount. I've been meaning to look for mini cast iron pans to make some individual hot cakes. Hopefully, you will put that popcorn popper to good use.
ReplyDeleteKelli, "score!" is right! The popcorn popper alone is worth more than what I paid for everything!

KitsapFG, I never go to yard sales at home, it seems like everyone wants to sell junk...stuff I'd take to the dump! Down here it's different, being such a small town of mostly retirees. Seems like there is always something good for sale.

Stefaneener, it was more fun when my neigbor went with me, but she was selling this year so I took Mr. H. He's no fun, and I didn't get to look at much.
********
Daphne, no pots, large or small. But with Mr. H rushing me from sale to sale, I only got to stop and really look at two places, he'd just drive by and announce "Junk!"!
********
Gary Jen and Ruby, no jars. The retirees in this town don't grow gardens or can anything. I haven't seen a veggie garden anywhere around here, except in my own yard.

Thomas, I drove all the way to Blythe, CA today (100 miles round trip) just to buy Mr. H some white popcorn....the only kind he'll eat! Neither Safeway or Wal-Mart had it in Parker, I had to go all the way to Albertsons! We'll try out the popper tonight. I almost bought one when amazon.com had it on sale a few months ago for $28! I saved $20!
