I have a cute little sister who
claimes she finds nothing at garage sales ...
when I asked her how frequently she stops ... she shrugs her shoulders. heehee

My take on that
IS
"stop at every one you see"
scour the goods
( in say, a minute or less)
and jump back in your car"
you can actually get this down to a science
and not lose much time doing so.
how does one know by ogling from the
car window whether there is anything worthwhile?
You've all seen it ...
a car pulls up at YOUR garage sale ...
they slow down to a snail's pace ...
gawk from the car and then pull away ... yeah
been there.
Lesson learned here is
"ya just never know"
so today please enjoy a few of the latest finds
here at the farmhouse ... I'm hunting
and gathering like a madwoman
for
SHOP THE SHED

find of the century ...

I am always on the look out for that Julia cookbook. I had both and sold them to a friend and now I want them back LOL
I stop at every yard sale like you said takes a minute to see if anything there you want.
Thanks for letting me show off my yard sale cups, I need 2 more if you find them LOL

great goodies, Joy. I'd love to be there!
I hit so many duds that when a great find comes along it keeps me motivated! Love your basket! LOVE!
I have a couple of pieces of hotel silverware - a one cup teapot that is so very dark with peeks of silver (I didn't polish it because it looks so good in its various shades of grey) and some flatware. Thanks for hosting.
Shop the shed - great winter activity since garage sales dry up. Thanks for hosting.
Love that scoop! Thanks for hosting the party. Now I'm off to check out the other peeps!
I need a shed like that!
Love that tin watering can.
So cool

Wow- Looks like some great finds there. You just never know what you will find once you get out of the car, do you? xo Diana
I just get plain giddy at the prospects of the upcoming Saturday yard sales. I did great last Saturday. Bobby G. is famous for wanting to do drive bys. :)
I have a vintage Julia Child cookbook too and I treasure it. This is the first time I'm seeing a vintage Larousse Gastronomique. What a find!
you have such an eye Joy love your
finds the hotel silver and the frame is wonderful
