As you know I did a yard sale at my sister Judy's house, there were 5 families selling in her big yard. I didn't do to bad, Saturday I left at noon I just couldn't stand the heat anymore, I could have probably made more but it's not worth it to get sick, even my daughter left too, the kids were getting cranky and we all wanted just to get in our pools or the AC!
I did manage to buy this pewter looking lamp from my sister for $10.00 and I put it in my bedroom the one I had in there was to big I think because it kept wanting to fall over so when I saw this I knew it would be just right. Gives a real cozy glow! I took a very short walk around and found this homemade cutting board for .50 it's already painted black and I have to decide what other color I want on top. The picture to the left I'll show on Wednesday.
Here is a picture of where we were at, I'm standing at my table taking the pictures... there were alot of people this year but everyone wants it for a nickel it seems. But we had alot of fun in spite of the hot, humid weather and that's all that matters.
One commenter had said she had been to Kennywood and mentioned Noah's Ark so I thought I show it for her, when I was a kid it was a seedy looking inside but now it's alot scarier, they still have the shaky floors and mirrors!
Hi Rondell!....the lamp you bought looks great there!....I'm fixin to have a yard sale mid-September and am hoping it will be a bit cooler then cuz I don't do well in the heat either! Janet
ReplyDeleteIt's hot here too Rondell but we have a chance of rain and storms so maybe it'll cool down or at least I won't have to water today! LOL I love the lamp!
ReplyDeleteYou are a trooper to have your yard sale despite the heat and humidity. Your lamp give such a cozy glow, what a fun area you live, love the shop picture.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your chairs!!
Well, I guess it's good that it didn't rain but sitting in the sun and humidity isn't fun, either. I think my mom used to have one of those lamps. There's no telling where it went.
ReplyDeleteHi! Love the lamp!
ReplyDeleteWe have had hot and humid weather here, since a week ago Sunday. It figures, sine the kids start school tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteHi Rondell,
ReplyDeleteGreat lamp!!
It sure has been hot here in Ohio also...I guess Summer finally decided to show up!! We had a pop up storm today that brought a big branch down from one of our trees...it was kind of scary.

Awesome yard sale! It looks like there was a huge amount of wonderful shopping there. You got a real bargain on the lamp - it looks so nice where you put it.

What fun photos, Rondell! The heat's been brutal here as well. We've pretty much hit 90º each day for the last several days ... which doesn't happen often in Maine. I am so ready for fall...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your week and stay cool!
