I love Thursdays! It starts my garage sale weekend. I live for Thursdays. Except that today didn't have many sales. I stopped at a few sales in McHenry and only found a metal stand for $3 and a rhinestone bracelet for $1 at one of the sales. I use the metal stands in my bathrooms for storage. The bathrooms have pedestal sinks and have nowhere to hide toilet paper etc. So, I use the stands for storage. I spray paint them white to blend in. I really like the stands. This stand I may use in the garden though. I have a few of them in the garden where metal bugs are on them.
I went to a sale in Lakewood that was supposed to be a neighborhood sale and only 1 house had opened today. I found a garden metal face for 25 cents. At least my drive was not for nothing. On the way home, I stopped in Ridgefield where the stores were having their garden sale weekend. I saw my friend Chris who sells at the store. I bought a frog ornament for the garden for $6. It is really cute. Tomorrow I have to weed the area where I want to put it. I stopped at a garage sale in Crystal Lake and found the kids Simpson comic books for 50 cents each and a few older Gameboy games for $2 each. All good buys that they really liked. She also had a really cute baby vintage flea market book for $1. The authors were Jersey girls like me now living in IL. Pretty ironic.
Everyone is talking about the church sale in Ridgefield tomorrow. I'm really excited about it.
