Welcome to my blog about yard sales, crochet, my family and my life. A yard sale map in one hand and a crochet hook in the other.

Saturday News

Not enough yard sales out to even attempt hunting! Too hot! But there was one near our home, so Justin and I stopped on the way to Rock Hill. I didn't get anything, but he got a couple of great finds, even though I had to point them out to him! He got this Martin house for $5....

It even had the telescoping pole with it. The best find was this antique Dietz 30 Beacon light for $20.....

I googled it last night and found one for sale on Ebay for $145! These were made fron 1890 to 1945. The top cap is missing but he said it had never had kerosene in it!
We took a wooden swing set to Della and Maxel yesterday afternoon. Della's 4th birthday was Monday (August 8) and Maxel's 2nd birthday is August 28th. They're going to have a combined birthday party this afternoon. This is how we found them yesterday....


 Della couldn't wait to try out the slide....

 Maxel had to have a helping hand from daddy......
 Even Daisy joined in the fun!
I'm working on a Owl afghan for my niece. Hope she likes it!

I want to invite you to visit a fellow South Carolinian to the blog world...https://beforetheroostercrows.blogspot.com. He was a couple of years ahead of me in school and his mother taught home economics. She also taught me how to knit when I was in the ninth grade.
