Today's garage sale adventure went well. Ryan and I started off at the rummage sale at St. Ned's, where we spotted no fewer than six copies of What to Expect When You're Expecting on the book table, which makes sense given how full the nursery is these days, but it was funny to see them all stacked up like that.
Then we escaped to see the rest of the garage sales around town. Today the Random Item was tire chains. Almost every sale had a set of tire chains. I don't want tire chains, it's just that I noticed that they were everywhere. Another time we were out everyone was selling meat grinders, as though some command had gone out to the hive mind that it was time to cast off the meat grinders. Reject your tire chains!
My total score list for today:
one set of short circular needles, size smallish
something called a Bubble Banana (oh, like you could have resisted it for a quarter!)
purse hardware for the really cool purse I swear I am going to make from the excellent maneki neko fabric Ryan brought me from Hawaii
a knitting bag
a really pretty Mexican tin mirror
a $4 CD player from the rummage sale. I tested it out, and it worked, although the drawer is a bit slow. We're still without a CD player (we've been using the DVD player), so whatever use we get out of this will be worth $4.
I spent less than $20 even with lunch at In-n-Out, further cementing my belief that garage sales are the best entertainment for summer mornings.
