I just perused my first yard sale here in town.
Yep that’s right. f.i.r.s.t My gf has invited me to go yarding before.
However, she’s a serious yard sale kind a gal, which means she leaves at the crack of dawn. Which goes against every grain of my retirement nature. (grin)
So recently I invited her to go with me, which meant I got to choose the time. (giggle)
Anyway, I’m so grateful to have a friend that is a wise shopper, and has excellent taste.
She’s actually assisted in a few choices for purchases I’ve made & aware of the THREE questions I now ask myself before purchasing anything.
1. Do I need it?
2. Can I afford it?
3. Where will I put it?
With that said of course I fell in love with several treasures, and asked myself the 3 questions. 1. yes 2. yes 3…..????
This is when I turned to my gf for a little assistance. I said: “Help me…I’ve answered 2 out of 3.”
Her reply was… “Ok. #3. You want it!!!!”
Thank goodness for helpful gf’s!
btw…my total treasure hunt came to $11.00
This included a pink bone china teacup/saucer, 2 teacup/lunch servers, lace tablecloth, white pottery pitcher/bowl
and the most adorable wicker hanging basket.
Oh, and of course because I’m really serious about the 3 question test. I was able to answer #3.
Remember that cute little “Folly” I have in the backyard?
A perfect spot for tea!
I liked that it came to $11!
Hi Carol! Yes! I know it as “Junking” too. Many years ago I sold my “junking” finds. I was a vender in serveral antique shops. I’d take them from junk to goods to sell! Ha!
Thank goodness I out~grew the selling part.♡
Great finds…..I recently was told that they now call what you did “junking” didn’t know that! I LOVE junking
