Memorial Day weekend is the official start of Yard Sale Season for me, and D and I kicked it off this year by heading to a 40-family yard sale in Lancaster, PA, where the pickings always seem to be a little more exciting than they are at home.
(I'm especially loving the blue rosebud cotton print that you see in nearly all of the pictures below! There's enough of it to make myself a pair of summer pajamas...)
Those big needles are called "Jumbo Jets." The little ones beside them are size 17!
Yard-sale notions are practically free! To heck with Jo-Ann Fabrics!
That big hoop is 17 inches across -- huge! I'm going to use these to make a wall display of my favorite fabrics.
I love vintage greeting cards. Six different kinds in this box!
A souvenir tablecloth with cocktail napkins. I don't really know what to do with this, but I thought it was interesting-looking.
I have so much fun on these adventures, and I am so lucky to have a husband who enjoys them too (even if we did end up with a copy of Men In Black II. Ugh.) Thanks for a great day, D!
WOW. Looks like an (almost) unqualified success!
