Highway 89 5th Annual Yard Sale

Saturday, November 5th in Peeples Valley and Yarnell located on Highway 89 many local people set up their tables of yard sale goods on the sidewalks in both towns.

Mike’s Mom owns an antique store, Patty & Sons, and she buys out estate sales.  Sometimes that means getting a lot of stuff that doesn’t fit in the store.

So the parking lot was full of tables and because of the cold windy weather was the only outside sale going on.  And we were all very busy.

Having a Yard Sale

01 Yard Sale Yarnell AZ (800x600)

The only problem with being a yard sale junkie and buying all kinds of stuff that really isn’t needed means also having to have a yard sale to recycle and make room for more.

Yet I didn’t have as much stuff to get rid of as I thought. But Berta did.

We finally opened on Friday at 10am after we went to a neighborhood yard sale. In fact we worked off their signs. But then we didn’t stay open home all afternoon as we heard about another yard sale.

Saturday we were pretty busy and both got rid of a lot of stuff. I’m sure there was something there with your name on it and you missed out on a great deal.

Second-hand Clothes–Stylish to be Poor

Please scroll down for SkyWatch Friday

Lately on TV talk shows there’s a big deal being made about “thrifty shopping” and saving $100s. One example, two ladies took in bags of clothes from their closets to a resale shop. One lady was offered $50 cash or $70 credit. She took the cash, and then went shopping, and excitedly spent $98.

Today, it’s the “Frugal Family” consisting of two parents and five children living on ~$35,000/year and paying off their second home. They live “under their means.” And have just published a book. Even the teenagers listed off brand name clothes they saved big on.

I’ll bet many of you practice thrifty shopping. I have forever. In fact Monday when I went to Prescott I scored a winter coat, Liz Claiborne, 100% wool outer and lining, leather collar, like new for $15. Later I discovered the original price tags in a pocket. Just made me love it more.

I guess I could have set a trend many years ago, if I was a trendy person. Almost all my clothes—and I have too many—and home decorations were bought second-hand at yard sales and thrift stores. Yet I don’t want too many people to know about this because they’ll beat me to all the good deals.
