Can't imagine why; I spent an hour roaming around, rummaging through boxes under the guise of helping Ray empty boxes on to tables. And the tea cups with birds? I need to look closer next time. And that little yellow chicken - I *wanted* that (but certainly didn't need it); can't believe no one picked it up. As it was, I left with a big box of GOOD STUFF and a "find of the day". Good job on this sale. There's definitely something to be said for a one-day sale.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789538186966391509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-52010236741333068042009-06-14T09:06:29.588-07:002009-06-14T09:06:29.588-07:00I popped over from my feed reader to see the sugge...I popped over from my feed reader to see the suggestions for the mystery items! I sure don't have a clue, but surely someone out there does.<br /><br />I'd'a picked up the blue canisters had I been in town. Though only because I "think" I'm redecorating my kitchen with blue glass accessories. I have a set of canisters taking up space on the counter already and really don't use them (two of them have been empty for 2 years!).Fiber Babblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01428452420851112349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-27207065772020283222009-06-14T08:30:19.859-07:002009-06-14T08:30:19.859-07:00Sometimes it is amazing what stuff sells at a gara...Sometimes it is amazing what stuff sells at a garage sale.
