Some days, or should I say weeks, are just sooooo busy. I don't have enough days in the week to accomplish all that I want to do. I wanted to start weeding my garden and the weeds have already gotten the best of me. Maybe I'll start next week.
I had a fun 2 days garage saleing/rummage hunting for treasures. I did find some fabric and little treasures, but was most excited to find a large wrought iron plant stand at a garage sale for $5. It was filled with old plants that I didn't want, so I was allowed by the owner to dump them in her garden since I was only after the plant stand. I have seen them for upwards of $45 so I was very excited to find one at a small price. Before I find a use for it in my garden, I'm going to use it for having a backyard party. It would be nice holding plates and napkins or something handy like that. I also found another black iron stand at an estate sale for $10. I have always been wanting one. It's funny how that one was more money than the larger one. I haven't figured out what I will use the smaller one for, but it probably won't be for just holding fruit. Or it might.....I'm not sure yet. I haven't had time to play around with ideas for it.
I just found out that on June 21st is the Belvidere night flea market that is from 4pm to midnight. I went last year at around 4pm and found some really nice items. It's on my calendar already. Thursday is a church rummage sale on Bull Valley Rd close to Crystal Lake Avenue in McHenry. It starts at 10am. Friday is a church rummage sale on Walkup Ave in Crystal Lake starting at 8am. On May 10th is the vintage market in Rockford at the Midway Village Museum. There are a lot of garden club plant sales coming up. Be sure to check them out for great prices.
Happy treasure hunting! Only about 1 month before the Elkhorn and Cedarburg Wisconsin flea markets. I'm counting down.
