I hit the mother lode! {part 2}

More finds Thursday at the Hillsdale College

Rummage Sale ...

Not ONE ,but FOUR Wendy Addision glitter stars! These were the first things I spotted and picked up.

Well actually I picked up two of them and on my

second time around I found the other two.

50 cents each and the largest one is 13 inches

across! I love anything by Wendy.

New bags of vintage style tinsel for $1.00 and pink

and silver glitter balls all for 50 cents. These are very

lightweight and I fell in love with them.

Six of these cutie wreaths for 30 cents each.

little silver tinsel candy canes bunch for 30 cents

10 cents - 50 cents

vintage style bottle brush trees

small 50 cents each, large 1.50 and 2.00.

pretty vintage style star...this was $1.00

and it is much smaller than the Wendy Addison stars

I think different people price them.

bird ornies 50 cents for 3 and a santa cone ornie

for 10 cents. I realized I missed a tree topper in the

photos so who knows what else I missed, but you get

the picture.

Initially when I started picking up the stars and trees

the lady that was helping out just started picking things

up and saying "do you want this" and I would say YES....lol!!

This sale is the sale of all sales. It is huge and people come

from all over. We all stand outside in a line that snakes

around the college. It starts at 9 am and we always try

to be there at 8:30 so we can get towards the

front of the line.

Then when the doors are opened promply at 9 am

people flood inside. They have each department marked,

such as Antiques, furniture, Christmas etc. Ladies stand

in each department with sale pads in hand and as you

pick up an item you have them write down the price.

{I have learned along with most everyone else to take my

own bags to put my items in as I pick them up}

At the end you hand one of the cashiers your slip of paper, ( or papers such as my case was) they add it up and you pay.

I made three trips to the car before it was all over and then

we went for lunch, came back and hit the 1/2 off sale.

Most certainly a highlight of the year. Hope you enjoyed

my goodies.

Happy day!
