~Today's yardsale finds~

Today is a perfect September day in mid-Michigan.  The sun is shining, the sky is bright blue and the air is pleasantly cool.  I started out my day with a job interview- good, but not exactly fun.  The drive home was lovely though, because I found a couple of nice yardsales, with low prices and old stuff!

I got all this great stuff for less than $10.  The first sale was just the kind I like best.  Everything had just been hauled out of the barn, and it all had to go... nothing was more than a dollar!  I found the six foot length of picket fence at the second sale for $2.  It was fun fitting that into my little car!

Yes, the old cooler is very grubby, but I'm not afraid of dirt and it is still functional... as long as I don't plant flowers in it!  The old insulators were a mere nickle each.  I especially like the flower pot mosaiced with rocks.

I was really tickled to find the post hole digger and the pruners.  I needed both, and at $1 each, what a bargain!!

I'm not sure how I'll use the old cider jug yet, but for a dime, I couldn't pass it up.  Who doesn't want pumpkins in September?  The lady I bought them from has a large pumpkin patch and these were just some of the few she had for sale.  I'll go back in a couple of weeks to check out what has ripened.  She gave me a good tip, to make your pumpkins last longer.  Give them a nice soapy bath, rinse well, then dip them in a weak water and bleach solution and allow them to thoroughly air dry.  She had the most beautiful white pumpkin for $7.  Out of my price range, but so cool, and it would practically glow all by itself at night.  I may have to save my pennies and get one later in the Month.  Maybe if that job comes through...
