Friday’s Finds

14 Aug

Back in California again and at some of my favorite hunting grounds!  Although Fridays in California aren’t typically as popular as Saturdays, I can still find quite a selection of estate and garage sales to go to.  On both Friday and Saturday I hit up sales in Orange, Villa Park and Anaheim.  Honestly, I am rarely disappointed.  I don’t know if it’s because I have learned to read the ads well, have way more lucky “hits” than “misses” or I just collect and love everything. If the latter is the case, this girl is one.sick.puppy.  I thought I would show a few pics of some of the places I went to today as well.  I actually hung with the “pros”, namely those that are regulars and buy things for their antique spaces.  I have silly names for them all. Will share at a later writing. :).

These particular items came from an estate sale. Although many of the items were a tad pricey, I managed to walk away with a few reasonable pieces.

Ah, and these beauties are why I continue to garage sale. For whatever reason, these ornaments  had gone by unnoticed. I got them for $2.00 a box and have already committed to selling them to someone else. I’m getting better about letting go! Well,  sorta. Had to keep the bell and a few of the blue/purple ornaments. They were selling vintage jewelry and beads too, so yes, I dug in.

More old ornaments. I love the sugary ones. Ah, and those indented ones, they speak to me. Nope, not keeping them though. I have plenty!

And this is one of the perks. You don’t see these very often when junkin’ but I definitely had to try it and I was not disappointed. These sweet ladies were making pupusas which is a Salvadorian-style taco that comes with cheese, pork, beef or rice and beans inside the taco casing (not folded over). All handmade, they were delicious!

I never try street food but my word this year is “fearless” so I took a chance. Glad I did! The next few pics are just some of the places I visited.  Some sales are neat and tidy, others are dirty and smelly.  Definitely encountered the smelly one.  I try to remember to always bring wipes!

So much more to share but it will probably put you to sleep.  Perhaps I will do an e-book on garage sailing in the near future.   I have a lot of tips, as well as a ton of junk to show for my weekend travels.

XO,
