Yard Sale finds

There were a bunch of yard sale within a mile of my house this past Saturday. It was a perfect day for junkin with nice cool breeze. The first yard sale I hit had a bunch of jewelry for sale but no prices so I picked out everything I wanted and asked how much she wanted for it. $3 for all of this...

There was a yard sale across the street from this one but I didn't go to it.
I drove to another sale across town that I'd seen on Craigslist but apparently they didn't have the sale. On my way back into town I saw another sign and decided to stop. I only picked up this cute puzzle there for .50 cents.

I stopped at a few more sales but didn't find anything worth buying at those. I found an estate/yard sale two streets over from my house. I hit the jackpot on jewelry and watches at this one. I only spent $7 for everything I got here.
$2 for all of these..

I ended up with 12 watches from this one sale. I love old watches. Something about all the gears. If they don't run they get disassembled for parts for steam punk stuff..
More pictures tomorrow of my Dallas area finds.

What a wonderful stuff and for what a price!

Here in Finland we don't have almost any yardsales and the fleamarkets aren't that good - I miss the Swiss junk stores, there you could find all this wonderful stuff :(
