The Yard Sales of the Seven Valleys...

Not to be confused with the Dance of the Seven Veils...SO and I set out for some yard-sale-ing last Saturday and ended up in the town called Seven Valley(s?). As luck would have it, it was a town-wide yard sale and for a good part of the adventure, we were able to walk from sale to sale. In addition, the town Fire Hall had a large in door yard sale going on complete with concession stand and bake sale. The bake sale part ended up being important as we needed a cake for that evening -- the cake turned out surprisingly delicious!

Here's a snap of our consolidated findings:












Yes -- you see fairy wings which were purchased for the princely sum of $3!!! Here I'd been looking at them on the internet for $75 to $100 a pair or making them...
The cute little chair was only $6 and now sits in a little alcove near my kitchen. There was plenty of knitted/crocheted items to be had and they are all stashed in the little doll crib on the left of the picture. It's hard to see, but there are even two handmade yarn dolls that will be part of some yarn grafitti some day. Total yarn grafitti investment was less than $5! SO got a brand new router, an electric clock, some bottles, a meat plate and a charming picture of a deer on a slice of a tree (bottom middle). The only thing that slowed us down a bit was some rain, but that just meant less competition.

Yard-sale-ing is on haitus for this weekend, but we will be back to fine picking form in short order!
