Yard Sale Finds

My favorite Yard Sale find!  Metal rooster tray.

This year when yard sale season came along I started going out and looking for pyrex and other goodies.  I have had some days where I'm not finding anything and then there are days where I hit the jackpot.  {like only spending $13.50 and coming home with a metal tray with a rooster on it and 5 or 6 pieces of pyrex}.

$1.75 for all three.

I know some people do not like yard sales at all but I know a lot who love them and I think I am starting to become one of them!

Everyone has a story to tell and if you take the time hear those stories from those you meet along the way it makes your treasures that much more meaningful.  The Friendship one below came from a woman who told me about her mother getting it for her not long after she was married from a truck that came around selling pyrex.

$.50 for this Friendship pyrex piece.

Learn something new.  It does not need to be genealogy related.  When you shift your thinking to something...
