[QUOTE="donna723, post: 280027, member: 1883"] Wow TM, you did GOOD!! I need to hit some of the yard sales too, but usually when I go, there's just junk ... like velvet bullfighter pictures or those singing fish plaques! There was only one time that I really struck gold, and then it was just by pure chance. I stayed home from work one day and just happened to go to the bank. And the church across the street from the bank just happened to be having a rummage sale and they were just setting up. I wasn't even going to bother, but then I saw what looked like two little sets of black pointy things sticking up behind some glassware. It turned out to be a pair of antique painted metal bookends in the shape of Boston Terriers! They're gorgeous - I paid a whole $2 each for them! And for another $2 I got a very old china soup tureen with the ladle! Best one I've ever seen was a [I]Mennonite[/I] yard sale - they were selling dozens of identical ankle length long sleeved dark blue dresses - a whole rack of them! [/QUOTE]
