What's a yard sale snob you ask? Well - it could be several things -
but for the sake of this post - it's someone who doesn't stop at a
yard sale cause it doesn't look 'good' enough or they don't see
anything they want. Such was my case with this particular yard sale today.
But because I was parked right at the end of the driveway to visit
other sales in the development - I sauntered in to be polite.
To the left (and not in the picture) was a table with a few apparent
less-than-desirable things. But when I got closer - I noticed maybe 3 linens.
And underneath them - this darling coral pink satin damask vintage tablecloth.
Yippee skippy!

It even retains its tag! (oooh - a 'crown' tag)...
Among my other finds of the day were these shell encrusted
miniature shoes... (more pink)
Shoes and tablecloth will be in my Etsy shop shortly.
And I treated myself to a bit of great smelling perfume for 50 cents.
Okay - it's really body mist. But still - it's from Victoria's Secret
and even at half a bottle - worth every penny. And ya can't put a
price tag on the pick-me-up some new nice smelly stuff gives a gal!
But what really tickled me today - was a pile of baskets.. for free!
I chose 3 to use for gift baskets. And look - I found some flower
sprigs and an almost new candle too - totaling just 75 cents.
Turns out they make a pretty nice instant fall grouping...
It won't stay a grouping long...
gonna be filling & gifting one of those baskets shortly.
How I love weekends...~Joyce

You found some great bargains today. It just goes to show that you never know what you'll find if you open your eyes to the unexpected. I think the candle and baskets were my favorite finds today. :-)

What a wonderful collection of goodies you found! It is funny how you worded that, because I can't tell you how many times I have passed by a sale for the same reasons. Who knows how many goodies I have missed out on, huh? LOL! God bless you!
Oh I love yard sales! When we move into our new house, I hope to connect with some yard sale buddies.
Regina - a yard sale buddy sound wonderful! I hope you indeed can find some...
