<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 252411, member: 210"]Nice, Cxgirl. I have to google EAPG glass. If they wrote a book called Glassware for Dummies, I'd be first in line to buy it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I couldn't sleep today, so I was out of the door by 6:30 a.m. The weather was threatening storms, but there was an advertised yard sale a few mile from me I wanted to attend.... they weren't set up, so I drove to a church sale. I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for everybody to show up, and unbeknownst to me, they were having the sale outside and cancelled due to weather. I went to a yard sale four blocks away, and somebody had just beat me to grandmom's jewelry boxes. A few things remained, not much.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now it is 8 a.m. and I head back to the yard sale I wanted to go to. Unbelievable. Most of the stuff was 10 cents to 50 cents. I found a table with jewelry and it was all 10 cents. So I grabbed a bowl and went to it. Three families with multiple members were still unloading...... the furniture was $5 to $10. Brad would've been in heaven. I saw a bench there for $5 that goes for $150 in our antique shops.... but furniture is not my forte. </p><p><br /></p><p>So between the two yard sales, here are some of my favorite finds.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, taille d'epergne (I know I am spelling it wrong.)
