What a beautiful day it was! Not only was the weather perfect, but there were sooooooo many sales. I was out all day and must have stopped at over 50 sales. Many were in subdivisions. I found a few treasures along the way. It was interesting to see that many of the sales did not have many items for sale.
I took the kids after school to the rummage sale at Grace Lutheran Church in Woodstock. I didn't think that there would be anything good left since we got there one hour after it started. How wrong I was! There was a table filled with milk glass for $2 to $4 each. I bought so many to add to my collection. I was so excited. I also bought a tri fold vintage frame for $2, a mirrored tray for $1, some toys for the kids, a vase for $2, vintage napkins for 25 cents, and jewelry. Those items must have come from an estate sale that I went to a few weeks ago. There were lots of vintage dishes there also. I saw a cameo bracelet at the estate sale for $18 and didn't want to spend that much. It was there at the rummage sale for 25 cents so of course I had to buy it. I was surprised that no one had bought it yet. I got a few other jewelry pieces that were priced from 25 cents to $1. I just love rummage sales because of the treasures that you can find for good prices. I now have to work on where I am going to put all of this milk glass. I also found a milk glass cake plate for $2 at a garage sale today. Other items I found were a lamb planter for $2, a giant white pottery turtle for $3, a vintage pyrex bowl with lid for 50 cents, two vintage plates for $2 each, and a sunflower cake plate. After spending all day treasure hunting, I found the most and best treasures at the rummage sale.
Tomorrow is a rummage sale on Walkup in Crystal Lake (not far from Crystal Springs Road going towards Crystal Lake), two estate sales and lots of garage sales. I hope I can fit it all in. I am sure going to try hard. I hate to miss a sale.
