This weekend was the town wide tag sale (garage/yard sale to you westerners). I had soccer-mom responsibilities, so I was unable to go (boo hoo). However, I was able to participate in one of my favorite activities - finding the REAL bargains around town by driving by later on at night and scoping out the 'free' piles outside where the sales took place.
Talk about fun - we had the list from the paper of all the houses having sales earlier that day, not to mention that many of the flyers were still hanging on the telephone poles through town. We got lucky pretty early on. I had spotted a sign that stated 'antiques' and went there first. We found a beautiful old rocker - we passed on that as the wood frame was broken. Then we found an old, tall dining chair with no seat - I have plans for that (will post that soon). My husband really liked a nice old desk chair with a split seat - he's convinced we can fix that. And then we saw a beautiful, hand carved occasional table with no top and one leg off. I have the beginning of an idea of what to do with it that might make 2 tables out of the one (will post that soon). I have my summer ready for projects. I can't wait to share them all with you!
