confessions

1. I only bring a camera if Nancy or Samantha come with me.
2. I am really, really cheap. In fact, I bought nothing (nothing!) today.
3. I am a sucker for 5 week old puppies. Free publuc service announcement of the day: puppies will give your yard sale that aww factor it might have been missing.

The puppies were $25, which I thought was a bit high for a mixed breed. There were sleeping all mixed up together in the sunshine and I woke one up to pick him up and squeeze him and baby-talk to him, because, really, how cute are puppies? Anyway, back to yard saling.
The highlight of the day was the St. Theresa's fabulous PTO, who had a fabulous sale back in the fall (topic: are two rummage sales per year too much? Discuss amongst yourselves.). They had another sale today, which really wasn't all that great, but that could have been because I got there close to 1pm. I think all the good stuff left at 8:01am.
I skiived getting to St. Theresa's, but nothing good was to be found.
I went to one very organized, clean sale run by a group of sisters (not nuns, but siblings). They were selling all manners of pregnancy and baby-related items: breast pump, baby Bjorn, bottles, baby clothes, maternity clothes, exersaucer, baby gym, etc. A true treasure trove for anyone who may need those items, which, alas, is not me. If you are a seasoned mom, you know how much breast pumps and baby Bjorns sell for, and these sisters only wanted $25 and $20, respectively. A steal!
Samantha just emailed me St. Charles is having a community yard sale May 22, which, really, are the very best ones. So there is hope that I may actually purchase something one of these days.
