Saturday Morning Yard Sales

It's finally here! The eagerly anticipated Saturday morning yard sale season! It's been a long winter with only an occassional estate sale to keep us warm. My bf Beri and I spent many hours this winter in front of her fireplace with a glass of wine dreaming of sunshine and sales. We longed for the days when we wouldn't quit until we were out-of-money or out-of-room in the car.

We woke Sat morning to warm weather and the paper loaded with ads. Neither one of us are morning gals, so it takes plenty of coffee and usually something chocolate to get us going this early. We set off with high expectations and $20.00 in our pocket.

Since it's still early in the season, we didn't quite fill the car. Here's a few of the treasures we found.



-A wire minnow basket
-A metal hotdog cooker for over the fire
-A lattice picnic basket
-A super cool large Redmon picnic basket with sparkly handles
















-2 flower iron decorative pieces








-3 pretty vintage hankys (one with my middle initial)



























We also took a tour for you of our all-time fav shop in Boise called "The Shabby House" which will be featured here next Sunday for "Sunday Show & Tell". They were having their "Springtime in Paris" event with wine tasting and fabulous vintage treasures. You will absolutely adore this shop!







Before I go, take a look at Beri's adorable front yard (with a name like Beri, you know she loves bears).





Almost forgot. This was the cutest mailbox we've ever seen!


Sweet dreams of sunshine and sales!

Hello! I know this is an old post, but I was curious if you knew the value of the Redmon basket? I thrifted one exactly like it recently and was just curious of its value.

Thank you!!
