So, last evening....

I'm Floored

I'm Floored

Lover of BS!
my husband sent me to a neighborhood to drop off some samples. It was a really nice neighborhood, and I noticed some things outside for a yard sale. After dropping off the samples, I pulled in the drive to take a look. Turned out, it was someone I knew (I used to teach her daughter dance) and they are moving and needed to get rid of everything.

My house is a work in progress. The economy crashed just as we moved into our new home, so I was never able to buy all the furniture or finish the house the way I wanted.

The lady had BEAUTIFUL furniture! To make a long story short, after talking to her about prices and different items, she was going to sell me ALL the furniture (including two sofas, a dining suite, chairs, etc.) for $250!!!!! I was so excited....I hit pay dirt!!!







































And then I woke up. That's right. The WHOLE thing had been a DREAM!!!

:HAHA

I don't think I've ever been so disappointed. :(
 
I dreamt (is that a word?) that I fell in cow dukey and couldn't wash it off


I like your dream better and maybe it is glimpse into the yard sale yet to come
 
when we have our hood yard sale we have good things and I always make a lot of $$$

I found a $200 bowl I paid $5 for.
 
i also got in the Georgian Yard sale a few years ago Pampered Chef pots, pans and plates still in the box for Pennies on the dollar

so sometimes you can find amazing deals
 
Sorry, I was so happy for you for a moment there. :)) I'm in the market for a dining room suite myself. :laugh
 
Funny story....a friend of mine just recently told me a true story. She had been looking for a used golf cart. One day, she and her two sons were riding down the road, and they passed a yard sale with a golf cart in the yard. The boys were not excited to stop (again!) so they asked if they could each have 50 cents to spend. She agreed.

She parked and they began to look around. The lady on the front porch asked rather gruffly, "Can I help you?" "We're just looking," said my friend. They browsed for a few minutes, and she asked, "How much for the golf cart?" "It's not for sale!" was her curt reply.

The youngest son found a garden gnome that caught his interest. "Do you think she would take 50 cents?" he asked. "We can certainly ask!" my friend told her son.

Again, the lady from the porch said, "CAN I HELP YOU?!" Her arms were now tightly folded across her chest, and she was standing to approach them.

All of a sudden, as my friend looked around, it hit her.....this was NOT a yard sale. They had just parked, and walked around someone's yard with THEIR stuff in it!

She quickly herded her children to the car, and called over her shoulder, "I'm so sorry. I've made a mistake!"

:laugh :laugh :laugh

hahahaha, that's funny. I would be so embarassed. Thank goodness she didn't pull that shotgun out. :eek:
 
Lol! IF, that happened to MrB over the summer! Haha! He saw several cars parked so he stopped, too. Turns out the cars were on cinder blocks or had trees growing in the back seat. A man asked him the same, and got all mad. Lol! He said the yard was FULL of junk!
 
I remember having a strange dream one night. I woke up and told Mrs. Reacher that it was the strangest dream I even drum... :huh

Is that the right word? :)
