So you can get a mix. It's an older suburb basically. The newer suburbs never really have as good of stuff. I do occasionally estate sale but they get really crowded and as I usually have a 5 year old in hand it can be a bit too intense for him. I have to say that I have honestly found some good items cheaper at garage sales too. So I say don't give up on garage sales just find one in a neighborhood full of older people they will have the stuff you are looking for.Living Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707910115390904845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608752562084276961.post-31851398056141325592013-07-24T23:44:24.385-05:002013-07-24T23:44:24.385-05:00What an AMAZING haul!

Around here, garage sales are usually kids clothes and/or toys...whereas the estate sales have the vintage goods. So jelly of your awesome finds!cassie stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850034034580646768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608752562084276961.post-68616578239435600632013-07-24T07:58:07.347-05:002013-07-24T07:58:07.347-05:00My Mom has a huge collection of both carnival and ...My Mom has a huge collection of both carnival and depression glass (that is probably why she took me to garage sales when I was a kid).<br />We have the opposite neighbors they cut down some small tree that were growing in a woodsy part of our yard and started mowing 9 feet over the property line (we have a really large yard with lots of trees). I put in a little garden with brick edging in the problem area.Living Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707910115390904845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608752562084276961.post-85127316051677085842013-07-24T07:57:05.160-05:002013-07-24T07:57:05.160-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Living Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707910115390904845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608752562084276961.post-27073794433872700542013-07-20T01:19:18.531-05:002013-07-20T01:19:18.531-05:00Last week I scored some carnival glass for cheap-...Last week I scored some carnival glass for cheap-cheap: a blue iridescent punchbowl with ALL the cups and yet another fruit bowl (I have lost a lot of carnival glass to breakage; both of my previous bowls stress-cracked while I was washing them despite the fact the water was merely tepid, so it was nice to acquire one again for a reasonable price-$5! The punchbowl and cups were only $25!<br /><br /> There was also a bunch of tools: a drill press frame (unused) for $5 ,a mechanized scrub brush(unused) for $2, and 50 cents for a roll-up downspout diverter thingy (unused) for the neighbours (their rain downspout is right next to our garage and all the moisture is compromising the concrete of our garage floor so I am going to present them with the fait accompli of installing this thing on their downspout so the rain is diverted AWAY from the garage- and, incidentally, from their OWN house foundation, as well! I bet they don't notice for weeks!) It was a weekend of garage sale scores!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953860520686822991noreply@blogger.com
