I went visiting local yard sales today. The sun was shining, although it was chilly when I started out. An hour later, I had taken the jacket off; when I got home at noon, I changed into shorts! Anyway, I got a lot of stuff and it was all very cheap. Sometimes people at yard sales price things too high, but all these folks had stuff priced to SELL! And I bought! I got some Halloween and some Christmas decorations - mostly outdoor ones for Halloween. One sale was at a church and they also had FOOD. Delicious brownies and I think from the wonderful odors, really good soup, too. Unfortunately it was still morning when I was there, and I didn't get back there for lunch. Need I say that I ate the brownies before I got home?
Among the items I came home with is a stack of plastic interlocking shelf things - each one 8x11. I now have 4 blue shelves and 3 red ones - perfect in my kitchen. I'm hoping that I can get myself better organized and eliminate some of the mess on my kitchen counter and buffet. Wish me luck - I'm going to start on reorganizing as soon as I finish this blog. And speaking of my kitchen, I'm getting an estimate today on replacing the old vinyl flooring. The one I have picked is a fairly dark gray, made to resemble stone. When the floor is installed, I'll take a photo.
The first photo is, Halloween and fall stuff. I also have some outdoor stuff that I didn't photo. I'll do that later when the yard decorations are all up. The gourd is really big - over a foot long. I have no idea what to do with it, but I just couldn't resist. The wood bird cage is another one of those irresistible things. I already have a place in mind to hang it and a paper mache bird to put in it. The Xmas stuff is packed away until December. And yes, I know that I don't need any more mugs - even Christmas ones. But, it was only 50 cents!
