I'd say you did quite well!
I don't get out to yard sales often. I'd like to go to more of them but I don't like going by myself.... I'm going to have to find someone to go yard saling with... a friend of mine's husband goes so I went with him one day but he is miserable at it - he lingers at each stop as if he firmly believes there is a real Hope diamond hiding on each table that he can buy for a quarter.... yeah... it was a bad day of yard saling. He is just too slow. Missing the deals man the longer we stay at this driveway with only infant items in it... no hope diamond here... move on already!!
You did really good!
I did find a Bernina 65 was it? at a yard sale for a friend of mine (wife of same bad yard saler...) She ended up paying $35 for it...
The woman bought it the year before and never used it....

Hey Deb.
I generally go to work a few minutes early on Friday, then if there is a garage sale in the area that I drive by, I stop. I don't spend much time doing this, secretly, I am hoping to find a featherweight or a 301. Talk about trying to find a diamond. Although, it could happen, one never knows! Yep, my hubby is no good at them either! I am a scouter, I go in and scout things out, and move on. Having to be to work shortly certainly keeps me from lingering, if I find material or such, it still is a good day! Get's my Friday morning off to a good start! :D

Great find! I am getting inspired to check out garage sales again. It's really hot here right now and we are going out of town anyway, so I guess it will wait until I get back. My only problem is I often come home with treasures I don't need just because it seems like a bargain!! :oops:
