4/2 more sad sales

This is getting ridiculous. I need my friends to yard sale with, or I don't have any fun either. It just isn't the same. When Nancy and I are together and jump up and down when we see something wonderful, people tend to not be scared. Shocked, yes. Wondering what we are on, yes. But not scared. When you do it by yourself, people are scared of you. (I am kidding of course, when I am by myself yard saling, I am subdued with lonlieness.) Samantha and I have such a grand time chasing after the children and finding things that are not made in China. (Ok, Sam looks more than me, but I support her wholeheartedly). And when it is the three of us, oh my. Weekends just don't get any better.
I blame spring break and holidays. We have been apart and busy with obligations. I hope next weekend is better; there is a promising antique auction shaping up in Millstadt, and we had such luck there a few weekends ago.
Today I went to a sale with the largest number of 25 cents boxes I have ever seen, and I purchased nothing. Really, sometimes people hold onto just about anything. Oh, and it had the largest collection of scary naked dolls I have ever witnessed, as well. That would have been a good picture. A word about scary dolls: all dolls, I don't care how expensive and cute they were when purchased brand-new, tend to look scary after the 10 year mark. People, be kind to those of us who yard sale with children: donate to your fave thrift store and spare us the nightmares. Especially the ones with the freaky eyes (the dolls, not the kids).
I went to a total of three, I think, starting on Thursday. I went to one on Friday that was sold out at 11am! I am thinking they must have had fab-u-lish-ous items to sell out that quickly. My feeling on starting earlier than Saturday (not that anyone asked): you ruin it for the folks who can only come out on Saturday! They miss all the good stuff on Friday! And Thursday? What in the world? You are certainly not coming down on your price on Thursday. And by the time Saturday rolls around, you are dead sick of looking at your crap and hate everyone who comes to see your stuff that 100 people have already looked through since Thurs. and didn't want. Just sayin'.
