Yard Sale

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, so a saying goes.

I have written about MIL’s yard sale finds here. She got boxes and boxes of stuff shipped here. Even if she has been back for almost a year, a box still came last week with Barbie dolls for my youngest daughter and Matchboxes for my  son.

Below are some of the finds that she got from her yard sale hunt:

Trash. One of the biggest problems in the world. I do not just mean the daily garbage that we need to dispose of, I mean the toxic garbage, the space debris and all kinds of pollution.

Trash is also the negative thought(s) that invade our minds. I’m talking metaphors here.

Have a great weekend, y’all.

You should see what people accumulate and try to get rid of when they hold yard/garage sales. I just went to our church’s yard sale and found some items that will be decorating my house. I have quite a few that I want to get rid of too.

Happy weekend.

The crystal is some pretty garbage. You’re right though, there is a lot different kinds of garbage that can’t be recycled into something useful.

Those are beautiful glass containers. I much prefer the clear glass than the Fenton type… I have a friend who loves to go to garage sales and I should take a day and take her… that way it would give her loving husband, who patiently carries her each Saturday, a day off. My construction trash or garbage is up.

For me it does not look like trash. It´s more like, it´s cute, but i would not buy it.

Have a great weekend.
