Tailgate finds and a Story.....
Last Saturday was a beautiful day and Poppy and I were running around doing errands when he remembered that a local church was having a tailgate sale.
So off we went! The first table we came to I saw with my little eye a pair of shiny silver/silver plate salt and pepper shakers.....Oooooooo....I pick them up and there was no price on them but on the bottom is said Sterling Silver weighted...they were beauteous! I asked the lady who was there how much but they weren't hers...her partner came up and told me I had $80 worth of silver in my hand....make me an offer! Well to be honest I had $20 in my purse and about $6 in my pocket. He said $60..I said no, He said $30 I said I have $20 in my pocket...he said I'll take $20....I thought I was going to pee myself...I was trying to get the $20 out of my purse when I hear his partner say..."If your selling them for $20 I would buy them" UGH...he comes over take the silver out of my hand and says he's not going to sell them....GRRRRRR....Not a good start to our tailgating!! So this is what I did get...
The next table we hit had these...I thought they were interesting and besides silver I love anything crystal and if it's etched...LOVE IT! So I pick it up and was looking at it and the seller says I have 7 of these and if you like them I'll give them to you for $3.00 SOLD They are so pretty! She also had a little silver plate bowl for .10 and a little silver pedestal bowl for $1.00!
To be honest there wasn't much more that I was interested in (except for a couple of books that I hesitated on and when I went back...GONE)
Then Poppy said there was an inside part....hmmmmm...when we went in there was some crafty stuff, some furniture, and a bunch of odds and ends and bits and pieces. No sooner were we in there when a lady came out of no where and said that everything in the room was now half off....YIKES!!
I came upon a box of bits and pieces of lace and stuff and the box was marked $1.00 for a handful! I told the lady I have big hands and she said go for it....this is some of what I came out with...
There was so much more but I'm saving some to put into my first giveaway when I reach 100 followers....yea!!
This was pretty much what I scored! The hand painted bottle was .25, the little bunny basket was .25, the candle sticks were .50 and the pretty old pink bottle ended up being 2.50....there were a couple of other bottles and I could have kicked myself for not getting them but I liked the pink the best. And the itty bitty rooster was a freebie....he was hiding under some stuff and when I asked how much they said give him a nice home....he's a cutie!
So that was my score at the tailgate sale. I had a good time although I didn't get the stinkin salt and pepper shakers...LOL
Now what to do with it all......
