Fall is in the air

The weather has taken a turn from rainy to cool and breezy-but the skies are bright blue with big puffy clouds-it is just GORGEOUS!!!! I couldn't wait to get out this morning to some sales! I mapped out ten sales all within about 12 miles of my house. A couple of them were sales that I'd been to before but didn't realize it until I got there or almost there. All the rest were new to me, never been there before sales.

It was FUN!! I love looking at the things people have for sale almost as much as I love the thrill of the hunt! The first sale I stopped at I got two giant paper bags filled with vintage glass jars! They were ten cents a jar and a lot of them had the zinc lid with the glass top!

Today was a thrifty day too, everything I found cost right around $20 for everything! Most of it is going to the booth-I will "foster" a few things for a while, and keep a few things. There is a Melon Festival starting later this evening in a nearby town with lots of people expected to attend, so the garage sales were very plentiful.

An even bigger bonus-free lunch at Red Robin! I was cleaning my desk at work the other day and I came across a thank-you card my boss had given me a year ago with a Red Robin gift card as a thank-you to me for a project that I took care of. Eric and I had lunch together, talked, laughed and caught up and I only had to pay the tip!

So far, it's been a pretty nice day!! Tomorrow afternoon, I am going to my friend Auntie's house for her son's wedding! Her youngest son is getting married in her beautiful yard, "by the big oak tree". I stopped by today to offer to help, but she says it's all set...I'm looking forward to a beautiful day tomorrow!

Here is what I picked up today...minus a 1940 Ernest Hemingway-For Whom the Bell Tolls book. Adam snatched it up with plans to cut the pages into some sort of scene...I quickly put a halt to that!! Even though it only cost me fifty cents, those books are going for good money on Ebay!
