<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 54922, member: 210"]Not much out there this weekend for me, either. I did go to a yard sale and find some beautiful Irish linen tea towels never used, tags were on. Unfortunately, I am now washing them, smoking household, but a good wash, drying outside on the clothes line a few days in the shade so they don't fade will do the trick and then I will starch and iron them. I love old linens! I went to an estate sale and it was really really bad.... people must have had dogs that did their business in the house..... wall-to-wall carpeting, too, couldn't even stay. Somebody grabbed a huge bin of old silver-plated utensils for $5, fabulous buy. They were even polished. There must have been a ton of jewelry there by the looks of the empty boxes, but newer stuff and didn't look like it was cheap to start with. Someone asked me last week where I go hunting, I have to say I am pretty serendipitous anymore, don't like to spend a lot on gas. I do like to travel to Cape May via route 9 and the yard sales are hit or miss anymore. I like to trawl antique malls and outdoor shows and festivals. I pick from Cape May to Philadelphia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
