I was doing one of those long yard sales and it was early in the morning of a two day trip. Looked like it was going to rain (later it did). I found one of those beautiful oak carved headboards for $100 at a farm but I couldn't buy it because it would not fit in the convertible with the top up. GRRRRR!! Some times you are the big dog other times you are the fire hydrant!

I did have a little luck today at an estate sale. I was really surprised because I was there at 4 PM and the stuff that was left was pretty incredible. I saw two full bottles of champagne for $5 each. After getting them for $7 I asked if they had any other "bottles" for sale (the estate sale organizers are not supposed to sell alcohol). The guy said sure - in the cabinet marked "keep out". He had 6 full liquor bottles that I got for $40.
