A Garage Sale??? On A Wednesday???

Today on the way home from work, on my usual route, I saw a sign for a garage sale. There was no date on the sign just an address and an arrow. I wasn't sure if it was leftover from the weekend, I didn't remember seeing it yesterday....but.....

I decided to turn right....

There was a card table set up in the driveway with just a few things displayed. Right away something caught my eye.....


A little embroidered baby bib


The next thing I saw was a darling little dessert plate


A little faded, but the Southern Bell outfit...too sweet!


And then I found my Scottie! At least I think it's a Scottie.....it's not the one I was looking for in Atlanta, but still a Scottie!! A little planter I think.

Not too bad for a Wednesday garage sale...and the price was right up my alley.....$5.00 covered it!

So glad I saw the garage sale sign today!!

    We have tons of Wednesday garage sales here in MN. People started doing it a few years ago. Your new treasures are so cute! The bib is darling, and I'm so glad you found a scottie! :)

    That Scottie vase is TO DIE FOR~ Even more fun than the outdoor display piece if you ask me!

    Cute stuff Chris! How odd though for a midweek garage sale. I must pay better attention when driving through town!

    I love the blue bowl! How cute it that!

    I've begun to notice garage sales on Sunday! I think that is so odd....
