You know it's May in Maine- lots of the garage sale signs have reappeared along roadsides on the weekends. The idiom 'one man's trash is another's treasure' holds true here and is certainly the lifeblood of these institutions. Usually, every other summer or so, we have a sale to unload accumulating junk and other stuff that's overwhelming the garage and attic, and yes, we often stop by sales, especially the big ones that look interesting from the road. This one above wasn't worth the stop, unless you were looking for Teenage Ninja Turtles, Spiderman replicas, mix-matched Happy Meal toys, faded plastic flowers and lots of clothes. I have a theory, interesting houses often equal great stuff on lawns at sales. This house grabbed my attention, but my hypothesis failed me miserably. Oh well, if you are going out searching this weekend; Happy Hunting!

Certainly is an interesting house...you must keep testing your theory. Perhaps this is the exception to the rule...or maybe all of the good stuff sold before you arrrived?
ReplyDeleteHa KittyKat!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff gone? I doubt it. I was there early.
We have bunches of these garage sales almost every weekend. I always get to them after the good stuff is gone!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting house, with the red brick facade and the tin roof. Of is that copper turned green?
ReplyDeleteThe house caught my eye, also! Only time I stop for garage sales is when I'm with my mom; she loves them.
ReplyDeleteI like this one for the beautiful colors that spring produces. You forget when you are away from that season in Maine for several years. And that house!! Reminds me of a certain house, it could be the twin!
ReplyDeleteA naked twin! But a twin! Ha! Ha!
