WAITING, WAITING, WAITING!
THE GOAL
Anyway, here's a run-down of the things I found. I was on the lookout for some things RJNJ needed (tarps and rubber bungee cords) and some organizational things that I wanted (wire baskets). Ask and ye shall receive...
ESTATE SALE 1
Estate sale 1 resulted in 3 wire baskets (check!), 1 "no clearance" sign, an outdoor thermometer, 2 light cages, 2 farm implements (Big plans for these, fellow junkers! Stay tuned!), and some miscellaneous metal objects.
ESTATE SALE 2
Estate sale 2... Tarp? Check! 5 bungee cords? Check!! I also found some tarp grabbers, 4 license plates, and 2 metal display pieces.
ESTATE SALE 3
Finds at the third sale include 5 floral frogs, a ball of twine, another wire basket (check!), and another bungee cord (check!).
THE BRIGHT SIDE
Though estate sales do require waiting, there is a bright side...the people! I saw some of my favorite junking people and some of the estate sale organizers who now know me by name. There's also this one guy...I don't know his name...but he is at EVERY sale! I swear! Usually, I think he just tries to ignore and/or avoid me. Does it stop me from saying hello each time? Nope! This weekend, I actually got a short response. Not a smile or anything, but a verbal response. Progress!

No clearance. Where do you think it came from?
ReplyDeleteAn overpass? Ouch. Zero height.
Security? Oops. You can't enter.
A store? Shucks. No sales.
It's a great sign. What are you going to do with it?

I love the No Clearance sign. You got quite the haul there...and checks on the list are so satisfying, aren't they? ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteGreat junk -- nice job!! I'm anxious to see what you do with all of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you suppose happened to Bob and Mimi? Bought a 2nd car so they don't have to share? Split up? Moved out of state? Went to the great estate sale in the sky???
SCORE and double check! Deb
ReplyDeletewow!! you get some of the best stuff! We never have three sales in one weekend! I want to live near you!
ReplyDeleteNot sure where any of this stuff came from! And I certainly don't know where Bob & Mimi went! I'm happy that I was able to actually find what I was looking for. I wonder if that strategy will work all the time...Hmmm....

Sounds horrible, waiting in the cold. Around here ES open at a certain time, and it's a free for all. However, everyone behaves very nicely. The only waiting is for the sale to open.
ReplyDeleteLove your finds.
