I was amazed at the number of yard sales this weekend. Last weekend was nil. This weekend was a treasure trove of finds with some people donating their take to the Red Cross. Some of my treasures included framed oil paintings, an old doll house with antique furnishings, Wexford butterdish, some great photography books, Milk glass snack sets in the grape pattern, silver dolphin bottle opener. Much more too numerous to mention.

This year was not a very good year in yard sales, IMO. Although the season has been longer because of the recession, good stuff has been hard to come by. It's been mostly junk. I did find a Iomega ZIP drive for $2 and my wife scored with a set of 4 lighted collector dishes designed by Thomas Kincade--for $5! With COA! Let's hope for a good indian summer and more sales.
