Upcoming Sales

In previous years I have been looking at rummage sales for small items for my home. Things like linen and china. This year I am looking on Craig’s list and at flea market/rummage sales for some cheap/paint-able furniture.

Here are some upcoming sales:

1. Next weekend is the Urbana fire dept. flea market AND Villages [...]

This weekend’s treasures…

Yes, it is that time of year again…

Saturday was St Mark Presbyterian Church 10701 Old Goergetown Rd. It was bad. I had been to this one once before (years ago) and it was bad then as well. I came away with a 50 cent broken pitcher. It is a fairly small area and the [...]

Last week was St Peters Episcopal rummage sale in Poolesville. Starts on a Thurs night which was kind of nice (April 7, 8 and 9). Mila and I were waiting in line to get in at 5pm. People actually ran when the tape was lifted. It was a bit weird. It was a fairly quick [...]

I dragged E and the kids down to the Branockburn Nursery School (in Bethesda) rummage sale yesterday am. It was advertised on Craig’s List for more than 6 months. I was really excited to go, it sounded really good and really big! What a disappointment I won’t be going back to this one. It was [...]

Yesterday’s Rummaging was an almost score…

That kitty pillow is for Liam. But honestly, there is nothing here that I am super excited about.

A vintage baby/doll dress for Mila’s babies (5o cents).

Some unusual items for Mila’s dress up box. Isn’t that embroidered one unusual? I brought a small cedar chest up from the basement to start [...]

Very pretty pink Chinese top and dress for Mila (the dress needs a bit of mending on the trim) but otherwise these are beautiful!

This is what I hoped to find! A sports coat for Miles. [...]

A few things…

I did not get much of anything done over the holiday last week. Mila has an ear infection so she hasn’t slept much. She is just now getting back on track after starting antibiotics on Sunday. We did the oranges with cloves and I managed to get a bit of the Christmas stuff out. But [...]

So, today was the giant Leesburg, Morven Park rummage sale. I took all 3 kids. It was a bit hectic, but still fun. Here is what I got:

I am loving this 50′s aqua and pinky-peach right now. I found these dishes at 2 different places today, but came up with a full set of 6 large plates, 6 small plates, and 6 cup and saucers. They go really well with the aqua Pyrex bowls I have…I feel a new [...]
