My favorite rummage sale coming up this weekend [View all]

Ohyeah. Church ladies' rummage sale. I have ALWAYS done well at this sale. A pretty mid-century green McCoy planter for 25 cents. A darling old large studio pottery vase with sunflowers painted on it for 25 cents. Wonderful vintage linens cheap cheap cheap.

Incidentally, I still have all those things for myself.

I get there an hour before the sale starts and scout it out. It's in a parking lot, so roaming is easy. They don't mind if we few earlybirds pick things up as we go scouting.

What's going on in the trade where you are? Hmm?
