Left at 6 am to hit a community [View all]

yard sale about 50 miles away. Stopped for breakfast and didn't get there until 7:30. Drove by a corner lot and they only had one item on the table so far, a french horn case. Yep it was in there and they had $8 on it. Lots of dings and even a pin hole in a curve, but I was amazed that there was no musty smell coming from the satin lined cased. Ask if they had anymore and got a trombone for $12. A couple of smalls, victorian C.I. easel and a majolica bowl with little animals on it for a buck.
Decided to take the back roads home and finally spotted another sale. Several older ladies, hell younger than me, were looking at a chair and saying how beautiful it was, as they walked away I grabbed it. A willow twig/bent wood rocker in great shape, just some varnish worn off. $20. Home by 10:30.
A couple of big, crowded flea markets this weekend and few out looking at yard sales. This makes up for the last 3 or 4 times I went out looking and found nothing.
