My Two Favorite Words...Rummage Sale!

This past week I found the most amazing site for all my fellow yard sale-ers, Yard Sale Treasure Map. It is fabulous! you put in your city, day you want to go, and miles you're willing to drive and up pops all the local craigslist postings for yardsales!! You can even add in any that you find in the paper, then get a customized route and driving directions! How amazing is that!  I was playing around with the mobile version when I found an ad for a Rummage Sale at the local Elks Lodge, Hooray! I grabbed my baggie of change and off I went...Here's the treasures I came home with:


Amazingly Huge Wooden Clothespin
Tiny Hollow Owl Planter? (he's going to turn into a mini pin cushion)
Lovely White Ceramic Animal-shaped Napkin Rings
Double set of  Owl Playing Cards in the cutest velvety box
Mexican Cookbook(Tamales + Flan? Yay!) and Canning Book(to go with the modern one I already have)


Here's some closeups of the napkin rings. They are just so cute. These are to add to my growing collection of white tableware. I have a set of rings that are owls on branches I found at a yard sale a few years ago. I was so excited to find these because I haven't found any more since then.  I think the Chicken is my favorite! 



There's another big sale at a local elementary school next saturday....Hooray for treasure hunts!
