Picture of an old time school bus

Lets get on the bus.

Here we are at the Activity Center

This looks like it’s going to be good.

Got your Halloween decorations.

Ganes, clothes, and La Crosse helmets (You do play don’t you?)

Here is a little bit of everything

Ceramics and pottery.

Rings, beads, and things.

This looks interesting. Wooden long horn skull, Skate board and Marty McFly poster.

Either a big joke or we need to call 9-1-1. Lamps, sleds, and Minnie mouse.

Sports anyone? Putters, rackets, and poker chips.

Here you go. A Bavaria Alp dinner service for eight, swan bowl, dog crate and trike.

Some hardware including fire screens, Birdcage, frame, and bench for faries

Unusal lamps made from other things like a french horn

Lamps of the past and future. I love the movie projector lamp.

More lamps. One of a shoe and one a saw.

Well if you are like me I think we have had enough of the garage sale. Relax now and enjoy the music and food.

  11. I spotted one vase I’d be willing to take home, but unfortunately I’m a little late for the sale. It must be the season. There was a citywide garage sale down the road from me yesterday: and no, I didn’t go.

  14. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, right, John?? I’m aghast over those wooden tennis racquets — I think those were popular when my folks first started playing. And that French horn lamp is pretty cool. Hope the sale was a big success!

  15. Now that’s a garage sale I could attend without having my eyes crossed. I’m always so overwhelmed at neighborhood garage sales where stuff get haphazardly thrown outside on the ground. Pawing through piles of clothes is not my idea of a bargain. Hope the sale was a complete success.

  20. Those unusual lamps caught my eye, John. Especially the French horn…which I would have “blown” my money on for sure. In honor of that French horn, I’m gonna dine on the French-EE today. Took me awhile to select that – menu is soooo good.

    Moving backwards, lots of cool & fool stuff for sale.
    I’m not buying anything. In spite of getting rid of scads of unneeded items, the universe keeps sending me replacements. AARRRGGGHHH!!

  30. Looks like a little bit of everything, John. Our neighborhood yard sale was this weekend, but we were gone most of the day to a bourbon festival you would have enjoyed immensely. I was in line to sample a 12 year Willett, but they ran out before I reached the front. Had to settle for Blanton’s instead.
