With my extra-large Dn'D coffee in hand and an adrenaline rush that would make Iggy Pop on American Idol seem calm, I'm off and running at 0'dark-thirty in the morning.
My BFF and yardsale companion, Denise is always by my side with her list in hand and GPS hooked up as I
We got off to a slow start but things quickly picked up when I spotted Lola. Her owner wanted $15, I got her for $12.
I love this sweet wall clock.
For only five bucks I took the chance that it would tick AND tock. Lucky for me it does.
Here it is in the hallway.
These next pretties are available on my Etsy. I got them last weekend at the flea market.

Great clock, Kim! I'm not a garage/yard saler, but sometimes if I see one that has a lot of stuff I will stop. Since I do have a couple of things in mind I'd like to get {mainly furniture pieces} maybe I should pay more attention to these things!
Laughing at your post. Poor Denise. But I hope you and Lola have many good times! Cute clock too, definitely worth the risk.

I could always use an extra vacuum cleaner for downstairs...I hate carrying them. Hooray for you! I love the clock, too! Great finds like these are worth getting up early for!
Have a great weekend, Kim!

That clock is wonderful! My you are giddy over a vacuum! I would only be that giddy over a vacuum if it worked itself! I keep telling Tom I want the Roomba!

I love the clock. I'm always amazed at the great finds you get!!
Great finds Kim! Love the pretty mirror. :)
I'm sure you look adorable even in your sweats & no makeup. The vision of you and your friend running around looking for treasures in the dark, reminded me of the last time we had a garage sale. It was a neighborhood sale & was scheduled to start at 6am. Of course, people started showing up at 5 & we weren't even completely set up. It was so dark, you couldn't even see the prices on things. Then a couple of people showed up wearing those head lamp/lights (don't know what they're called) & I just burst out laughing. I continued to laugh about that all day. Now I have a clear visual of you and your friend wearing those crazy headlights & skulking around garage sales in the wee dark hours of the morning. However, I am very glad you do since I just found out that I'm the recipient of your Give-Away over At The Picket Fence. I'm so thrilled!
