Neighborhood yard sale - mostly 25 cents each

My husband, son and I walked through for neighborhood for the annual yard sale early Saturday. It was cool with a light breeze so it was a pleasant morning.  We found a few treasures......
4 big hard back books by Mary Alice Jones. 25 cents each.  I remember reading many books by Jones when I was a child. Her messages are so sweet and
The illustrations are pretty and calming, I think.


My son bought this big old metal piece. It is not as big as a turkey roaster but close. He thought he might put several potted plants in it.


Sippy and snack cups- all 25 cents each.  These are all in great condition and sell new for about $4 each so I am happy to have them.
Funny Erma Bombeck paperbacks.....
2 sets of pajamas and a pair of kitchen towels - all 25 cents
A very nice big board book for 25 cents
And a Justin Wilson cookbook for 25 cents. Justin Wilson was a Cajun cook on PBS years ago. My dad and brother were just talking about him at last weekends yard sales and hoping they would find one of his books. Now, they will be happy to read this one!


Not pictured-  I also got some plastic drinking glasses from a free box and 3 jars- 1 is 2 quart and the other 2 are 1 quart for 25 cents each.  I store pantry items in glass jars and when I was trying to put something away  Friday, I did not have an empty jar for this new ingredient so I am really glad to get a few more jars. 

2 other nice areas in our town are having neighborhood yard sales today but we are going to skip them. 

Tell me if you found any second hand treasures :)

June 14-USA's National Flag Day



It is a beautiful day and I put our flags out early.  
Today is a special day as it is the 60th anniversary of our current Pledge of Allegiance.
