One mans junk is another mans treasure

We had an All American Yard Sale yesterday. Sold off are the old books, pottery, a few sentimental pieces of dinner ware and some of my antiques from the vintage cubbard. I guess after living for 47 years you collect 47 years worth of valuable stuff. There was a wok on the table, never been used. It had been passed down to me over twenty-five years ago. I always intended to use it and learn the fine art of Chinese cooking. I decided to give it away as a gift for next Christmas. Most yard sales offer a candle or two. My candles melted in the sun. They need to be scraped off the table.

Every yard sale has at least one punch bowl, a dip platter, and a cake plate. Thank goodness, sold right away.
