Cleaned up to Enjoy July 4th Antique Sales

I spent some time getting the garage cleaned out after the yard sale! I wanted to be able to have this all done so I could go to the antique sales on the 4th of July.  All that's left now is the pair of bar stools, and the project chair.

Two truckloads to the Salvation Army store and one trip to the dump and one trip over to Bean's house. 

I'll probably keep the bar stools for now-good garage seating!

The project chair, I dunno......it's cool and all, but I dunno......

and I have one bin of fabric that is left-it needs to go, I'm going to call the library and see if they would like it.  If they don't then-it's going to the buy nothing group.

The milkweeds are now blooming and smell so good!

SO, I went over to Amana to the Firecracker Forth Antique sale on Monday. 
 They had a LOT! 

But I thought a lot of the prices were pretty high! $85 for that Corelle matching pitcher!

I am still loving these metal picnic baskets, but I'll leave this one....$50

Here's a little surprise, a featherweight and priced at only $375, which is not too bad if it's working.

Lots to see, and it was crazy hot and muggy out so the indoor venue was good!

To much for these Christmas ornaments........

Look, this frog frog was $150.00...nope, not for me!

I loved seeing this basket! It is a real charmer!  The lid construction is really unique-probably a Hawkeye basket, But not for $139.00, the lady said she'd do $130, thank you, but not for me!

$45 for this basket......

Who knew ??? Pincushions? $15.00? What???

Now this was a really unique basket, I'm not sure what it was made to hold, likely not a picnic, but it was very nice! $275.00

So much to see in two buildings and a bit outdoors too. 

 

So on to Mount Vernon tomorrow on the 4th of July. 

The only bit of green glass I've seen so far! 

There was only one block of vendors this year , so it wasn't too bad in the heat of the day. 

I did find a picnic basket to come home with me only $3.00!! They had quite a few vendors over at the Backyard pickers store also in Mount Vernon. So I popped over there too. 

The Back Porch Pickers store is very big!

Hey, Lookie there, finally a piece of Jadeite!

Look at all of the pyrex!

And a little bit more of the green glass.....

Seemed like an OK price, but DD doesn't need any more plates like these. 

I would have bought a different basket while I was here, but the line to check out......

NOPE! I have one more sale to go to!

I head out to the Johnson County Fairgrounds for their annual sale. 

So much stuff, By far the biggest sale of the day!

And lookie here, green glass! I got a couple of things at this sale, so much fun stuff to look at. And I'm home by 2pm, to cool off!

July 4th

MMM the milk weeds sure smell good!
 

I was at work on the 2nd of July and there were fireworks!

I was working in about the highest part of the plant so it was a good view!

Back to work!!

Then on the 3rd of July we had our local fireworks!

I like that I get a pretty good view from our deck!

No corwds and no traffic!

DD and her beau and kiddos went with me out to the Amana Firecracker 4th Antique sale on the 3rd too.

And we went over to Mt Vernon for the Nitty Gritty antique sale there...but we got rained out pretty hard!

Little Drew was happy to go inside one of the shops there-out of the rain!

THe Amana show was a good hot day so it was good it was inside air conditioned building!

Here's little Drew, Hayden and Hailey being bored, but still hanging in with the boring adults!

I loved this cookie jar, but I was afraid to p;ick it up to see how much!

This pink pitcher was $1100. Yup, that's what I thought too!

I'm still working on this...it's a pretty labor intensive bunch of blocks!
