Lori's Recent Yard Sale Finds

The last couple of Saturdays I went out to a few yard/garage sales. There are plenty of them around these days. In fact this weekend, my daughter's gated community are having one for all who will participate, so I may go again!!
Here are some of my finds:
Twin ceramic birds:

A set of 30 pamphlets on various Countries Around The World by the American Geographical Society [1959]- their covers were so colorful!

A small ceramic pink baby cradle:

A crocheted pillowcase:

Vintage Yahtzee and Bingo games:

A neat fold-up, on wheels, table - for my patio, I think?

A pair of ice skates:

All in all, some good finds.
(I'm saving a few for another post!)

    LOVE the table! What a great find! Is that yard sale this weekend at Apple Valley Estates/Ranch up Lions Bald Mt. Rd in Sonora? I went to that one last year-- it was a fun one! I happened to be "up the hill" visiting my parents that weekend.
    Hugs,

    You found so many fun things! Those birds are such a pretty shade of blue, and that little table is so perfect for a patio. Yard sale/flea market season is really cranking up now, and I can already tell that it's going to be a great summer!
