<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 256660, member: 210"]I love seeing all of these finds. It has been very hot here and no matter where I look, I am not seeing yard sales advertised... it seems people just make up signs and put stuff out and I don't get there to get anything good. Not many estate sales going on, either..... still waiting for a big church sale to be rescheduled, but I think the weather is playing a part here. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been on a major decluttering/organizing kick. I took about two carloads to a thrift shop near my uncle's long-term care place, they are very nice and appreciate it. Got rid of a lot of books, pictures, frames, clothing, and the very junkiest of the junky costume jewelry that came when I waved my hand and said "how much for all?" and picked what I wanted out.</p><p><br /></p><p>My uncle is coming to the end of his journey, so I haven't been in the mood much, either, to treasure hunt. I cannot sleep once I wake up in the morning, so I did go to my favorite flea market yesterday and today. Yesterday was a total wash, but today, it was strange, there was tons of sterling very reasonable that nobody picked up.....or missed. On Sundays, people set up all various times, some are setting up as late as 11 a.m. So I just walked around the place three times (you know that's the charm.) I will try to get pictures up of the sterling soon. My uncle's only surviving brother just passed away a few days shy of his 95 birthday, and the funeral is Tuesday. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, it's just why I haven't been here. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your finds make me smile, keep them coming![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
