A Sturdy Tray Table @ $2
A Box Full of China broken and otherwise perfect...to me "D @ $2
An Original Oil Portrait, possibly commishined by Michigan's Automotive Dodge Family @ $3

Vintage Children's Ring Toss Game @ $1
Assorted Children's Books ( I can never resist)
Set of Three Glass Cloche' Dessert Stands ( not shown ) @ $9 for the Set
(sold for at least $10 each in stores)  I will show you where I use them in another post...

 Everything crammed in as far as the Front Seat...

Un-Loading the Goods

All Snug, but Fit...not an inch left to spare..."D
The Vintage Sewing Machine Table, Tray Table and the Find of the Day...
a FREE Quartrine Slip Covered Love Seat Sofa Bed ( saving for my mom, until she finds a new home )
All the other treasures put in between and tucked here and there... 


 *** FREE Slice of Pie *** 
Offered to me while shopping at a Church Rummage Sale
Lemon Meringue to be exact....Mmmmm...leftover from the Church's Teacher Luncheon...
Lesson of the Day...Never turn down a slice of Pie...'"D I had to eat it there on the spot...
since I couldn't fit even one more thing in my truck..."D

Here's what I found at the sale...


 This beautiful Sewing Machine Case/Table that I will refinish or paint and use as a bedside table


this Adorable Vintage Ring Toss Game...


Set of 12 white dinner plates; (country living box) actually vintage J &G Meakin Studio - England


the stoneware pitcher $1 A Beautiful find
the vintage recipe box and FREE-Box over the sink cutting board 
(crossing my fingers that it will fit over my trailer sink... )


 ...this tray table (minus the tray) $2...I 'm painting it white...and possibly adding a mosaic insert


Then, because that just wasn't enough, ...
I even got a chance to do some Garage Sales around my area's annual Whole Condo-Sub Sale...
with the help from my Vintage Ross Bicycle, I took home 
some lovely Children's' Books and some wooly yarn

 
This is what I call...A Beautiful Mess..."D


What is the most you have fit in your vehicle on a Rummage or Garage Sale Trip?

 Happy Hunting this Garage Sale Weekend...

Years ago, my mom, her sister-in-law, my sister-in-law and I crammed into my old Toyota station wagon. Remember those small things? We bought a vintage trunk, which we couldn't open unfortunately because it could have held some of the other stuff we bought! After yard-sales all day, we couldn't have crammed a tooth pick into that car and the only woman not holding boxes and bags of stuff was me because I was driving. What a fantastic day. And yours looks pretty wonderful too! By the way, each time I leave the house to go to sales, my husband always said, "Please don't buy anything big!"
