Loving those yard sales!

      I have really gotten into going to yard sales and I'm loving it! This past weekend, there were at least sixty in our area! I couldn't by any means get to all of them, but I did make it to quite a few.  I found purses for anywhere from fifty cents- two dollars! I got a silver tray for fifty cents, material for fifty cents, I can't even name what all I got, there was so much of it! Then today I went to a couple of thrift stores and was disappointed because of the prices! They are much higher than yard sales. I did however, find a pattern, some material, and a jelly jar, all for the total of two dollars! I guess that wasn't so bad. I actually was surprised that there were even any yard sales this past weekend because the mornings are so cool and dark. I can't wait to see if there are any this weekend!
      We went to Homestead Hollow Sunday but I left my camera card in the computer since I wanted to download pics for the blog. Talk about disappointed! We took the girls and their moms and we all had a blast! The girls were so cute riding the ponies and feeding the animals. I do have other pics, however, so hope you enjoy them. Hope to hear from you soon! I plan on blogging again soon, hopefully not as long between posts this time.

Looks like she's looking for eggs in her halloween clothes.

No eggs here!

Various items at various cheap prices.

Yes that's another bread machine, but it looked almost new for three dollars!

Warm Days, Cool Nights!

      That's the way the weather has been this past week. The leaves are changing and the angle of the sun is definitely different than in summer! But it is still hot! I love the crisp, cool mornings and cooler evenings after sundown, though. We took in some beautiful sights over the weekend, going to yard sales Saturday, then to Mentone, Sunday. It was our son's sixteenth birthday so he drove us around Sunday. Here are some photos of our excursions:

Fire Fun.

You can really tell this is only primer on the door. My wreath left over from last year that I made with 50% off items! I added some glittery sticks from the Dollar Tree this  year.

Friday's yard sale finds, wooden plaques, hoops, spool stand, vase and baby jeans.

Winterlynn really loved the apples we got from Ellijay! She kept on getting them out and biting them.

My two-dollar yard sale purse. I love it!

Hubby loves to play with the children, and they love him! Her first ride in a wheel barrow.

Look at those bare feet! They're taking the corn over to the chickens.

Winterlynn loves to look at her reflection in the window as she rides her pony.

Weeeeee!!!!

I finally got a face view since it was his birthday.

Hubby is working on the flower bed out front and is now building an arbor. I can't wait to see it finished!

Skyline views from Mentone, AL.

An old inn in Mentone. Festival in front.

We drove to Canyon's after Mentone. Of course we rode in the Jeep!

Saturdays yard sales were all about crafts. The hoop was glued so it splintered when I tried to remove the material. I will check next time.

      Hope you enjoyed your visit! Come back soon! Leave a comment if you wish.

Friday finds!

My first omelet! Need to do something with all those eggs!

Scores from last Friday's yard sales. One dollar each on the candle sticks!

Little girls name-brand clothing, one dollar each!

Ten dollar rocking horse for five dollars! Going to paint it.

      I went to yard sales this morning and here is what I found:

Several wooden hoops, some .25 some .75; infant blue jeans, .25, spool holder, 1.00, plaques
1.00 and 2 @2.00 wooden beads,.25 ,and wooden ring thrown in. Total:$10.50!

I wasn't even expecting to find these items, but you never know what you're going to find at yard sales!



Here are some photos of last weekends excursion in Ellijay GA:

Love the "old" new courthouse.

The mountains surrounding Ellijay are beautiful!

Two half-bushels of delicious apples!
