Last haul before Lent

I managed to get a picture from my haul. From the ads it didn't look promising, but as I am giving up estate sale shopping for Lent, I figured that I had better just get out there one last time. The first place I hit was a moving sale. It turned out to be someone's grandparents moving out. They had awesome antiques, sewing supplies and a few vintage tablecloths. I piled all of it into a box and they asked $5. THAT'S WHY I LOVE YARD SALES!!!

I spent less that $20 at the 4 sales I went to and I came back with loads of vintage fabrics, some clothes for Jacob and a few really cool odds and ends that might appear in my shop. I wish I had pictures of the places I went to. One was a real dive, but the piles of vintage fabric were incredible.

If you have not gone to yard sales or estate sales, I encourage you to get out there at least one or two weekends a year. It's fun to see what people have out there, but if you really want to get the good deals, you will have to go more often than that.
