Hi all, how is the weekend going?
It has been a very dreary Friday here.
I wanted to show you the pics that I took while on our little road trip yesterday.
This is the first flea market that we stopped at.

We stopped at an Amish yard sale. Thought I would snap a pic of the "vehicle of choice" by most shoppers.

The bike in front of the screen( see the Amish ladies behind it?)was being sold, It had belonged to the grandfather. The bike (plus attached milk crate) only cost Nancy $2.00. She bought it for her husband to start exercising. He is out of town this week, and she is picking him up at the airport AFTER she goes back to get the bike. Now isn't he going to be surprised??!!! lOl

Next was a "general store". This place was a collector's dream. :)
Some of the prices were kinda high I thought. Saundra did find a old Radio Flyer wagon for $13.00. I thought it was a great deal . What I really, really, really wanted to buy was an old watering can. I have been wanting one for quite a while. All the ones I seen were well over $20.00. I just couldn't see paying that for something that I want to use outside. Plus, it really didn't fit into the budget. :)

It was such a great time!! The whole day was spent talking, shopping, laughing and of course, eating. lol
We had cheese, crackers, beef jerky, cherry turnovers, bar b q chicken sandwiches and lots of water.
Now, this morning I went to ONE yard sale,
This is what I bought.
woohoo!! I found my watering can, a red wood handle cutter and an old KERR jar with metal lid.
Do you see the price tag on the watering can??!! It was $2.00!!! That's right, $2.00!!!

ReplyDeleteI want to come visit you and go shopping! :) You find the best stuff! Of course, then I'd have to get the stuff all the way home, which might cost more than the original stuff! But still - I want your shopping eyes!
ReplyDeleteLokks like you're having a great weekend!
Thank you for 'taking us along'! I have always wanted to visit Amish country. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

what a fun day! love the watering can and at $2.00, that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite sure I watered the petunias with that watering can about 45 years ago! Happy Flag Day ~Natalie
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the pictures of Amish Country! I used to live about 40 minutes southwest of there in Howard, Ohio and would travel up that way every month or two. Amish Country is just so full of homegrown delights!
ReplyDeleteTake Care, Nan
