It's Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. and at least here in the northeast it's the unofficial start of the Summer season and that means.... yard sales! Here's just a look at some of the things I found as I wandered about my town today. So here's what I do with a couple hours to waste and $5 in my pocket!

I like these Amish dolls. I think they're handmade, there were no "made in China" tags and there was hand stitching in places. |
|
Flower Looms! These vintage books were in great shape, from 1968 -1971. I do think I have a vague memory of these as a kid. They are just too kitschy fun! |

Another vintage book (1974) of crocheted and knitted gift items. |
|
And... I know I'll figure out something to do with these! A big baggie full of little wooden plant pots of various sizes. |

I did find some other things, like two nice shelves for my shop that I can use for displaying items. Of course, my husband's best buy was a
Scalextric racetrack... great fun!
