Sorry Blogger friends, I’ve been away from my blog
for several days to take care of things around my homestead.
This past weekend, Bulldog Man and I stopped at
several estate sales in town. At one of
the estate sales, we picked up a potato ricer $5.00, down vest $3.00, and hand
tools $20.00. Then we headed on to
another sale, this one was after church on Sunday.
At another estate sale, we came home with a very
large old-fashioned white linen table cloth and 8 napkins for $5.00, homemade
winter scarf for $1.00, a stoneware pitcher for $3.00, metal jar opener for
$1.50, large grader 50 cents, Magic Hostess meat grinder and salad chef with 5
blades, and a cookbook $10.00, a large magnifier for working with tools $1.00, and
a heavy duty Keystone old-fashioned food chopper with 4 blades for $4.00.

I also put up in the pantry 6 jars of apple butter. I had to hide the apple butter to make sure our son, Tank, wouldn’t eat it all up in a couple of meals.
This is the final harvest from my garden on beans
and eggplant. My peas are still trucking
along. The weather is going to get nice
for a few days this week; I’m hoping the peas keep growing before my first
harvest.
And finally, Bulldog Man and I bought tickets to see
the Doobie Brothers; this was a late Anniversary present to each other.

Some nice finds there. Gratz!!!
ReplyDeleteMy Garden is dead dead dead now. I need to start tearing it down whenever the cold rain stops coming down.
I'm happy MY garden is dead dead dead. It just about killed me this summer! hahahahaaaa
DeletePP and SCI,
DeleteAll that is left in my garden are peas. If we get the big freeze tonight they maybe dead soon too. I'm going to cover them this afternoon.
LOVE all those kitchen gadget finds, and WHAT a deal! Ooo, how I wish I could handle the crowds, I'd love to see the Doobie Brothers. Have fun :)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
DeleteI walked out of this house with all kinds of deals.
I absolutely hate being in crowds, that is why we found seats at this concert up front and at a casino (less people).
Oh, I love finding bargains!
ReplyDeleteHope you have fun at the concert Sandy.
Kimberly,
DeleteMe too!!! We had a blast, enjoyed the concert. It's good to see old friends :-)
That is a pretty good haul. Let me know if you come across antique canning jars. I collect them.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was a kid, my sister had two albums...her Elton John and Doobie Brothers.. when our parents were at work, that is all we heard..over and over and over. Until she bought the double album from the movie "Grease"
JUGM,
DeleteThank you!!!! Oh girl, there were several antique canning jars at the first estate sale. They were pricey and didn't seem to be in good condition. Oh I had that Grease album years ago.
yea that is the problem...people want a small fortune for antique jars...
DeleteI asked Senior to get me the blue anniversary edition ones that are out right now.. I just love those.
PS: Girl every one had the Grease album, and me and my sister played it till it wharped, and lipsynched to "summer lovin." lol
DeleteSandy... I love garage sales!!! hehe and the Doobie Brothers. I feel like we're kindred spirits. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Anniversary. Have fun at the concert. Gammy/Tammy
Gammy,
DeleteI love yard sales, estate sales, and thrift stores. We must be kindred spirits.
Thank you so much for the Anniversary wish. We had to get tickets for the Doobie Brothers, my husband worked with the band 30 years ago. I thought it would be a great gift to him to see his friends again.
I have potato rice envy, LOL. What great finds, Sandy! Your last harvest of the season looks pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteLeigh,
DeleteI'll share the potato ricer with you :-)
I've always wanted one, and when I seen this one sitting there I snatched it up. Thanks Leigh :-)
Sandy,
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a good nose for bargains! In that picture with the chocolate peppers? Are those the albino peppers? I don't think I've ever seen them before.
Doobie Brothers huh? Girl, I STILL like them. Some things will always just be a part of me. Like the music of the Doobie Brothers, ya know?
Hugs to you and yours,
Sci
SCI,
DeleteThank you, my nose leads me all the time, lol
Yes Ma'am those are albino peppers. I have one real small pepper albino plant that keeps trying to produce peppers. I've given up on it now.
I love the Doobie Brothers, they will always be a band worth listening and singing too. They'll never get old!!!!
Oh I know you like the Doobie Brothers, what's not to like?
Hugs to you and Mars,
Sandy
Great finds! Oh, & the Doobie Brothers take me back to my senior year in high school. A looooong time ago.
ReplyDeleteDFW,
DeleteThanks girl!!! I know, it takes me way back too. And they're still wonderful. Let's no age ourselves okay, lol

your friend,
jambaloney
I have all the Doobie Brothers albums - on cassettes - wouldn't you know it. I love them so! You really got some good bargains there on some really useful things!
ReplyDeleteMichaele,
DeleteThanks Michaele, I thought I got some good deals too. I love the Doobie Brothers without Michael McDonald.
Estate sales can be so much fun. My in-laws always found great items when they use to frequent them. You scored some good finds! Grew up listing to the Doobie Brothers and still like them today! (I had siblings far older than me, so spent lots of time listening to their music).
ReplyDeleteDesertHen,
DeleteThank you, I scored well :=)
We still listen to the Doobie Brothers. In fact it's been over 30 years of listening.
