I got some really great stuff yesterday! Here is a list:
- "Dogs Playing Poker" poster, $2
- Giant metal tub (maybe a dog-washing tub or a horse water trough?) for use as Guinea Pig habitat, $8
- Cuddly sweater, $1, which I put on at the sale site and wore for an hour in the chilly AM.
- Three rusty metal heating vent covers for art, $5 set
- A baggie full of dangling chandelier crystals, $5
- Tiffany style hanging lamp, $8
- Handy set of allen wrenches (this was a gift for Matt because I recently misplaced his other allen wrenches, causing a marital discussion about respect of property.)
- Vera Bradley backpack (this was from a skiv* on the way to drop off three little girls at a birthday party. I took the contents of her gift bag and put them in the $3 Vera Bradley backpack, thereby making an average gift into an excellent one! Yay!)
- Set of 20 acrylic paints, new in box
- Giant stainless steel ladle
- Vintage portable baby bassinet, dark avocado green, with metal legs and metal handles. For dolls, of course.
*Skiv
- verb, to skiv, to veer off course to follow a yard sale sign. "Let's go to the estate sale on 43rd street and skiv along the way." "While driving to the rummage sale at Governor French, we skivved and found an old chicken incubator." "Skivving is dangerous because we sometimes veer wildly in traffic."
- noun, a skiv, a yard sale located through the act of skivving. "Look at this awesome chicken incubator! I found it at a skiv!"
Laura... we need pictures of the fully operational jacuzzi tub and the redneck can crusher!
