Searching for treasures

In the past two weeks I've managed to go to nearly 50-60 yard sales! They ranged from huge over-priced estate sales to small garages offering some pretty nifty finds at really nifty prices! There were some sales I was able to pull my small camera out at and snap shots during my expeditions.

While all these things interested me, they were not the type of things I was looking for. I did manage to score 4 or 5 great pieces of vintage luggage, fabric, old playing cards, more scrabble letters, lots of beads, miscellaneous jewelery and some other odds and ends.


The process of finding items for my boxes is half the fun! I get to meet so many people and hear so many stories about the items I am buying. I try to find out as much info on the items as I can without being too nosey :) I find people love to talk about their stuff! Now, don't get me wrong, I come across a lot of grumpy and crazy people too! I could start another blog on that topic alone ;)

Once I go through my bags and boxes of goodies I will post pictures of the supplies and luggage!
