What better way to spend a Saturday morning than sale-ing?

Yes - one of my true passions in life. Garage sale-ing... or yard-sale-ing for you American gals. I lurve it! So many bargains, and so little space in my car to fit it all.

So this is 2 x dinner sets, and 4 water glasses. In really good condition. Relatively new and beautiful colours - for $5... yes, you read right - $5. What a bargain! My dinner set consists of a brown stoneware set my parents were given as a wedding gift. Certainly not pretty or dinner-party worthy. But these pretties on the other hand... Bewdiful!


Then we have the filing trays - already being put to good use, for that ever growing collection of art supplies. A girl can never have enough storage vessels, trays, containers and jars.











Then there is the box of House & Garden magazines -predominantly 1990s editions - for FREE. Yes a whole summer's worth of reading, ready for tearing up and creating interesting and colourful envelopes.




And a vintage suitcase and distressed picture frame.








A lovely set of cutlery. I don't know how many pieces. But it was heavy and curvy and elegant, and beats the el-cheapo set I bought at Ikea when I first moved out of home some 7 years ago.









And a sweet little teapot for all of a $1. But I think this might get sold at the market stall tomorrow. Will have to think on that one.




Then there was the garage sale to make a girl cringe. Yes, I rock up at this quaint little cottage home, with daisy bushes and an arbour out the front. Lovely picket fence and a shipping container on the front verge. I wander into the frontyard and am met by my old boss - yes, another dragon lady that I didn't particular like. She is a canadian lady who is returning to Canada (not a minute too soon - ... did I say that outloud?) So I couldn't really turn around and hightail out of there. So I had to politely wander through her stuff. And to make matters worse, it was reasonably priced and quite a few bargains to be had. Typical! So I had to buy this neat little collection of things. The fabric covered box - don't know what that was meant to be. But I liked the fabric, and figure I can take a crack at making into something. Oh well - can't go wrong for $1.


Had a very successful market stall today. Will post about this tomorrow me thinks.
