Saturday is Garage Sale Day

Posted on May 8, 2010 by Queenie

Today was City Wide Garage Sale days in Ottawa (KS). I thought I might go out and see what I could find. There wasn’t as many as there have been in years past, but we did find a few things:

See the large black bag in the back? That is FULL of Mary Kay stuff.

Some woman decided not to sell MK any more and gave us the bag,

mirrors and product. #3 thinks this is the best thing in the world.

Big box of vintage patterns, Youth Dew, Hallmark Marjorie Bastin

votive holders and the speckled pink pottery Aladdin lamp.

I’m not sure who made that pink speckle pottery.. but it’s cute enough. 🙂

We found this vase at the second garage sale we went to.

I love the color and it’s about 24″ tall.

Here’s some junk I bought the kids.. Legos, Transformers and

miscellaneous toys.. they were in heaven!

Large box of vintage rug hooking kits and craft stuff.

I love old patterns. The photos are awesome..

We bought 2 boxes of books for #2 to put on Amazon. We were set

to pay just a few bucks for the boxes of them.. until the guy selling them

realized I wrote the “eBay Queen Article”.. He decided to charge us more

than a few bucks.. 🙁 Moral of this story?

Wait in the car.. and send a kid in to buy your junk.

Do you like my star lamp? It was only .50 cents.

I’m putting in the Youth Room at church. Did you find anything today?

Estate Sale Finds on a Thursday.

a small sign that makes my heart beat faster

I read about this sale in Tuesday’s paper, it didn’t really excite me. WHY? well.. Ottawa Kansas is not known for their FABULOUS estate sales. Every sale I’ve ever been to that was called an estate sale here in Ottawa has always been a garage sale, with ok stuff. Never a true estate sale, where you get to walk through the house. Imagine my surprise when I pulled up to this house and nothing was on the lawn!

I couldn’t help but take some photos of the beautiful garden in the backyard

#2 & 4 peeking out a window in the office

Some of you might say.. WHY would she take those kids to an estate sale with her? I can’t help it, not only do they beg to go, they have been trained SO WELL. Even #4 looks for important stuff to sell, and loves to take pieces to the cashier to set in our pile. #2 likes to hondle the price down on items. Each one of my children like to be a part of this business we call eBay.
