A rummage sale in the middle of winter!
Yes, a local huge rummage sale at Saint Peter's Church lured me out and about ... around people.
The focus going in is to not buy much because I have enough of much.
First thing at the door, on the check out desk is a covered jewelrly display. And what do I see!? A necklace with 1950s era style design. I was done for! I will make it into a bracelet.
The haul: 4 pants, 2 blouses, 1 dress, 1 skirt, and 1 pair of water shoes.
Every item is not only a garment I can wear now, but ones I like as well. No will lose weight, this will fit me by then or might be my size were purchased. I also did not buy any fool myself into thinking I'm a fitness fantatic by wearing athletic wear.
I didn't look at every thing because there is so much. I will probably return for a leisurely browse. There are particular fabrics that I look for no matter what the garment.
How fun to go to the rummage sale. I always like those, and we find so many interesting things. Looks like you brought home lots of goodies. That necklace is cool. Yes, you should go back and browse through it all. ; )

Sheri,
DeleteRemoving the neck chain part turns it into a bracelet to slip on. Lucky there.
I'm amazed how much variety and stuff that is there. It is as big as the annual fall rummage sale that people line up at the door for. I'll keep you posted about the browse. :)
Pleased you enjoyed the rummage sale, your purchases sound good.

Jan,
ReplyDeleteThat rummage sale is a community event where you see folks you know and meet new people. It is nice they put it on in the middle of winter.
It sounds like a great sale!
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteOne of the best I've seen in a while. I've missed a few over the last year or so though.
Great buy...love that blue
ReplyDeleteAshok,
DeleteThe turqoise color changes with the light, going from green tint to more blue. Pretty piece.
Sounds so fun. we used to go to rummage sales all of the time. Bought many useful items for our home and my crafts too I don't buy much in new clothes-I always check out the resale shops here Happy weekend
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend Kathy!
DeleteSame here, I prefer used clothing to new. The quality of new has been disappointing for decades as the fabrics feel cheaply made.
That sounds like a great haul! I don't dare go to rummage sales anymore. I should be HOLDING them!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteDonating the clothes back to thrift stores keeps the circulation going. It is a good way to filter sweaters through the system. They are always the most difficult to find new or used.
I haven't been to a rummage sale in years. Looks like you found some gems so it was worth braving the crowds.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteI was there after the open doors morning rush. Today it will be busier.
It is pretty cold outside, in the teens!
Oh, I love sales like this when you can find all kinds of 'needful' things. The jewelry would be my first stop too. You did GREAT with your finds! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteDiane,
DeleteAt the sale the table for pans, dishes, decor and such were full of stuff.
I had to talk myself out of a few dishes. Last fall I donated most of my thrift collection dishes. I don't need to start again.
Have a fun weekend!
Fantastic find!
ReplyDeleteHena,
DeleteIt is the fun finds like that, that make rummage sales so much fun.
Have a fun weekend!
Well, you did very well at that rummage sale. That necklace is wonderful. Great score!
ReplyDeleteBecki,
DeleteThe necklace is a bracelet now. I will wear it in the summer with bangles.
