More yard sale finds...

I love going to the store on Friday morning. I'll just be "bee"bopping down the road, see a yard sale sign and my car develops a mind of its own. So I oblige it and stop for a gander. I almost always walk away with one or two treasures that hit my fancy. This morning was no different. As many of you know, I love the beach. Nothing soothes me more than beach "stuff". I just found this plate this morning for $1.00 and it was so soothing to me that I just had to have it. I put it on a shelf in my office so I can see it while I'm working.

When I saw this next item, I just fell in love with it. I love little glass candy dishes to set around and you all know I love baskets. What better than a little glass bowl with a basket weave pattern. I was hooked the moment I saw it, but so many people charge too high for glassware if they think they can pass it off as an antique. I asked the price and held my breath....25 cents! Needless to say I snapped it up.

Hamburgers smothered in pickles and cheese, Barbecue Snyders and a large Pepsi please. Three glazed donuts, no make that four, In a cardboard box down on the floor. As we prepared to watch our shows on TV, It was me, Jack and Rachel - just us three. Later that night for a little snack, We'd get our penny candy from out of our sack. Life at our house on a Thursday night Was very predictable, but it felt just right. Things couldn't be better, we'd always say, But it did one Saturday in the month of May. You see we three, became us four, As we added another box to the floor. Memories of yesterday still haunt my mind As I cherish the childhood I left behind.
