Yard Saling With My Mother In Law.. Really!! We BOTH Survived!

Wow!!
It Has been SO long since I last went to a Yard sale With my Mother in Law!!!
I gotta tell ya When She called & to tell me she wanted us to hit the road together this Saturday Morning.. I was hoping to wake up with a Migraine or something!.. But I woke up & the birds Were Singing.. the Sun was Shining.. & the weather was beautiful.. & I said.. ok.. here We Go!
Drove over to pick up the Girl & off we went.. She of course had our plan of attack all laid out ahead of us..
Where I prefer the Older neighborhoods.. old people,, with their old stuff..
She for some reason seems to think we're going to have better luck in a new neighborhood.. Which almost always never pans out.. But. thi9s was her day..
i said we'll go with her hunch today.. on to the Community yard sale She'd heard about..
But about after the 1st 3 or 4 house we were ready to ditch the new digs & go find some old naighborhood where the people weren't all young with young families.. New wood coffee table with smoked glass tops.. & Gobs of baby cloths.. all of which neither one of us have ANY use for!
When we found ourselves about half way into the neighborhood..
We Found Nelda! Whoo Hoo! She was Just My Cup Of Tea! Yes.. of course I spent the majority of my budget at her Sale.. ! But , She had All the kindsa Things I wanted!! I bought the most lovely plates from her.. All pretty china with sweet old Roses on them.. The BEST wooden Nesting boxes.. large enough to say they could even be used for canisters! An old Roller Skate Case..
(you know how I just Love these.. great for Storing things in my sweing room!)
More Wooden box Thingies.. .. A Pink Baby Doll Cradle.. An AMAZING Pink Satin Dust Ruffle,, i think it's for a full size bed..
Gosh.. what else..? OH! these awesome wooden crate things..!
& a Pair of beautiful Old Cabinet Doors that have been removed & are now used as a wall hanging with a pretty little Rose Stencil! Really Sweet looking!
Jeez! I can't even remember what else..
But we had THE best time today!
& laughed so much i though My ribs were breaking!
