Weekend Treasures

OK that's not a treasure, but maybe it is because I will be enjoying them later. I got so busy Saturday that I didn't get much done after coming back from the Market with loads of goodies. I know have cauliflower, green beans and corn in the freezer. I also made a batch of beets and dill pickles. So needless to say there wasn't much estate sale going. I did make it Sunday to 1/2 price day and was happy with what I found.

I love these lace curtains and wish I had a window the right size. They are in perfect condition and only cost $1.00.

The plates were only 38 cents a piece. The front are three of the same pattern.

Look at all the lace!! The price tag said there was a 100 yards and I believe it. I only paid 2.50 for the whole thing. Lace seems to be flying out of my booth. Should I separate it into two or three pieces or sell in one piece?

This is German lace and in perfect condition. I just love it. I gave up trying to spread it out so you could see it. Mr and Ms Nosy were in my way. I paid $3.50 for it. I love 1/2 price days. Hopefully this weekend I'll have more time.

My Booth

I finally remembered to take my camera with me and to actually use it. I took the camera many times and left it in my purse or just plain left it at home. I'm trying to go twice a week to straighten and take new items for sale. It is a small booth and if I do well in sales I may rent a larger one next year. I had to pay part of Junes rent but I had only been opened a week or so. I've already paid July's rent so the rest is mine. Sales have been slow but I'm sure they will pick up. I've changed things around since I took these. I try to make changes every time I go. It is work in progress. Most of my items I've purchased at estate sales but some are actually mine that I've had for years and just gotten tired of.

As I mentioned before my grandson helped me set everything up. I could not have done it without him. How often will a 25 year old boy want to help his poor granny do something this boring. He jumped at the chance when I asked him. He is such a good kid. Well OK most of time. Oh and to top it all off, he took me to dinner the night before. I made him a scrumptious breakfast before we started so he'd have lots and lots of energy. We had a green chili, sausage strata with a bowl of fruit. Thanks Jonathan! Grandma loves you!
