GLITTER


When I picked up this enormous jar of glitter, a lady came over and proceeded to tell me this really long story about how the glitter was her dads from the 1950s and that he got it from some famous parade or something and there was a lot more of it but when he passed away, each of his children took one of his antique jars and filled it with glitter........ blah blah blah.


I just like glitter so I bought it.




What a GREAT deal!!!


So, I was ALL excited to see these classic Felco shears still in their package. These are the best gardening shears on the planet. Guess how much they were.... go ahead guess... remember we are a GARAGE sale, where you expect a decent deal on USED goods.


Um... yeah, the lady wants $36 for her Felcro shears. Used. She even taped the receipt to the package. She originally paid $36 for them. Then she used them and put them back in the package. Now, she wants to sell them for $36. WHATEVER!!!!


An empty red box


Anyone want to buy this empty chopstick box? Anyone?

Are you looking for an ape?

Found: A blow-up ape. He is located in the shoe/phone/plastic flower/plate/soccer ball department of this yard sale.


The arm is bent at such an angle that is would hang around your neck easily. How handy is that?



Did you lose your keys?

I found an enormous key today.

It is gold. Probably not real gold though.

Mirror mirror on the wall.. with grapes on it

Here is a mirror with grapes on it. The grapes are falling off. Maybe if you positioned the mirror at the right height on the wall, you could make it so the grapes look like they are on your head when you look in the mirror. Someone bought this for $10.00.

I am not kidding.
The nicest thing about this mirror is the reflection of my pink cowboy boots.
