I spent most of the mornings of Thursday and Friday garage saleing. Thursday was pretty slow picking, but there were lots of sales in Crystal Lake. I found a nice green painted tray for 10 cents. Who could pass that up? I have always wanted one and this was the ladies great aunt's. What a deal! I went to the Sparrows Nest in McHenry also and found a blue/white doilie for 50 cents and an aluminum server with the original glass inserts for $4. Another good deal!
My first stop on Friday morning was for a sale that I found on the way to taking Austin to school. It was only down the street from me so I also had a chance to meet my neighbors. I found a great blue milk glass bowl for $2, an aluminum tray for $1 and a Japanese tin for $1. I like to put presents in the tins. It is so much nicer than in just a paper bag. It is like giving 2 gifts in 1. I did go to both estate sales listed in the paper on Friday. One was a Caring Transitions sale in Crystal Lake and the other was a sale in Woodstock. Both left me empty handed. That happens sometimes. There were also a few sales in Ridgefield that I stopped at. I found some fabric at one for 50 cents to $1 each and vintage hankies for 25 cents. I spent a whole $3.50 at that one.
I have been spending time putting the vintage video games up for auction on Ebay. I hope the kids make big money!
