Yard Sales Are Stalking Me!!!


Doesn't Seem to matter how busy i tell myself I am..
These Yard sales Still manage to find me!!!
Try as I May to avoid them!
I run errands to points & places in town where i KNOW they should not be..& yet there they are! These people are having then now right out in open fields to trap me with their wares!
I have to stop of course! It would be rude of me not to!
After all.. We're in the South.. It's just impolite to not stop & say "Hello.. how's your Mama?"
& of course there it is! This LOVELY Coffee table that I needed.. with FOUR Drawer's.. a Recessed top.. & a fitted glass.. perfect to showcase all sorts of old bits & peices that I've collected over time! So.. I knew right off What I was going to stick in it! An old Tea set I'd made the Jay Bird at a Ceramics Class when she was about 8 years old.. Such a sweet little set too! Took me countless firings to get it right! I kept it a bisque color..But a Mother of Pearl Overlay!
She's only managed to loose one Little Saucer.. & the lid to the Tea Pot! Not too bad for nearly 20 years time I thought! I also tossed in several old Skeleton keys & a bunch of old Wooden Spinning Spools.. Perfect combination!

Next Stop I Just had a fit!
These Folks must have known I was on my way!
ENAMEL WARE!!! Yes! & OLD Chamber pots To Boot! Yet Another Weakness..
(Yes.. Know.. too many to count..) But you don't ubderstand.. I have a very Bizarre collection of old Enamel Ware Bed Pans & Such decorating My Hall Bath! A Light Blue Childs Chamber Pot!
A CHILD Size Bed Pan! & TODAY!!! I found another Chamber Pot.. As well as a MAN'S Hospital Pot?? Not sure what this one is called.. yes.. I've NEVER claimed Sanity here.. But has to be a complete collection I'm thinking.. aside from the fact that the colors are not the same!
I DO believe I have just about every type of Enamel Ware Bed Pan, Slop Jar,or Chamber Pot
That has been Made.. So Let it be Known.. I DO indeed Have a Pot To Piss In..!
Several Actually! Now I just need to figure out a way to 'Tastefully' Display them!
