Oh Happy Day

Well I rolled out of bed a bit later than I should have on a yard-sale morning, but I'm still quite pleased with my finds. I hit a nice estate sale right here in town -- the family who owned the original grocery/general store. The sale was run by the family though, so most of the prices were at or above retail/book, so I had to pass some things by. I did find a gorgeous set of old Italian faience plates, some Bybee and Pigeon Forge pottery and some old patterns and knitting books. Otherwise I mainly found things for myself -- a ceiling fan still in the box for my eBay office, some bamboo chimes for the garden and a kit for making easy raised bed gardens.

What I'm most excited about however is what I found at Lowe's. We went in for mouse traps (there's a small visitor behind the stove) and Steve - the husband - spotted a floor display Whirlpool Fabric Freshener on sale for only $75 -- they're $225 at Best Buy. I'd been coveting one, so I snapped it up. I'm testing it out as we speak. It should save me so much time in ironing and $ in cleaning my eBay duds.
