Well, I missed a couple of my favorite Fridays.
But I did go to some garage sales today and found a few goodies.
I bought about 3 dozen assorted canning jars for .10 a jar. I felt bad though. It was at a estate sale and the poor little lady who the items belonged to was so old and cute. I felt like I was stealing from her. I did buy a couple of other things from her but cannot post them here because they are destined for Christmas gifts
One of the cool things about garage sales is finding things you never knew about before. I bought this 8" tall Anne Boleyn by Peggy Nesbit doll for cheap. I Googled it real quick on the old iPhone while I was at the sale, and while it's not worth a lot of money, I think it was a pretty good purchase. Turns out that Peggy Nesbit is a doll making company in England and makes historical dolls. If you were a huge Tudor fan, you could get a set of Henry XIII and all of his wives. Who knew? I believe this one is from the 1960's. She still has her tag and orginal box.
I decided I need a estate sale mentor. We went to one where you had to get a piece of paper that gave you a time to return and all the people waiting there looked like they would rip you limb from limb to take something out of your hands. We skipped that one but it would be interesting to check one of those out someday.
