Garage saling can HURT you!!

Hello all! This weekend I garage saled both Sat & Sun and let me just say it was a busy weekend. My Sat was spent traveling from sale to sale all around three areas of my town. On Sunday there was a big community garage sale going on and I am sure we saw about 35 or so sales. I really didn't buy much, I don't know if I had a vintage lover just steps ahead of me or what but I was somewhat disappointed. I had imagined in my head since I would get to go to so many sales I would have a pile of vintage treasures!! *Wishful thinking*

Here Are my favorite finds of this weekend:

~*Lovely tea set*~

The set was $3.00 and is in perfect condition I don't even know if it has ever been used. I am no expert and have no clue if it's Chinese or Japanese if anybody knows please do share! I would love to know a bit more about it, especially what it says.

~*Pretty black velvet embroidered shoes*~

I have tried finding info on these lovelies (Using their description in the google search engine it kept bringing me to shoes from the 30s and 40s) I don't know much about vintage shoes (heck maybe these are not even vintage) But I do know one thing they are super cute and do not look to have been worn. Maybe tried on a few times (Once by me in the driveway of the garage sale)

~*Funky fiberglass desk lamp*~

When driving up to this sale I seen the lamp on a table. I decided not to buy a rather rusty red metal one a few weeks back and then was wondering if I had made the wrong choice. Now I know I didn't because when I asked the older Gentlemen with the white Shih tzu with a cute under bite the price. He said "A dollar?" To which I said "SURE" to which he said "This lamp is older than you" to which I said "That's the way I like them" (THANKFULLY he did not take that the wrong way) *lol* I don't want to be known as the weird garage sale chic who hits on all the senior men. *lol*

~*Swift fox / Howling Wolf*~

These are wooden toys I found for my future baby coconuts. Whenever I find something I think I will like for decorating the future coconuts room or just for them to play with I have started to purchase it. "Because who knows IF I will ever come across it again" No coconuts are on the way yet. But most likely in a year or two. By then who knows what I will have *lol* Maybe bins full of toys!! *haha*

So just when I had only a few more sales to go to... my ankle decides to do a (go to the side sort of thing) And the next thing I know I am down on the pavement amongst rocks, asphalt and dirt. Not only did I fall... It happened in front a group of people. *Sigh* After my man helped me up and I rolled up my pant leg to the knee I fell on.. (The opposite one to the STUPID ANKLE) I announced "I don't think we can get to those last sales"

My knee hurt, was stinging and bleeding a bit.. plus I was embarrassed too. We got to our vehicle (Lucky it was close as we had went to get it and moved it closer to the area we would be shopping from.) I ended up going home (Without our planned lunch) There was many hot dog and Smokey vendors all around the area selling pop, cotton candy and other yummy things. My man BBQ'ed me some hot dogs while I iced my knee and to cheer me up he bought me hot wing chips. LOL (I suppose I am a easy girl to please) SO EVERYONE make sure you are careful while garage saling. Tell your ankles "Don't fail me now!!" Heck I might have to do that next weekend.
