Rummage Sales Are...

a bargain hunter's delight... and when it's for a good cause, even more so! We went to the Tip Of the Tail rummage yesterday. Proceeds benefit the Humane Society, and go to the care and upkeep of sheltered pets there.

We got our idiot dog, Bandit, there 6 years ago. At the time, he was 6 mos. old, and had some jumping issues. The family who had had him couldn't keep him because he was jumping on their very young kids. Fortunately, our children were older.

He wasn't fully potty trained when we got him, but now is... he also can sit, lay down, roll over, shake, play fetch, and will stop and sit at each street corner when we walk him. He's a member of the family, and we do spoil him a bit.

Anyway... here's the score... two oversize coffee mugs with saucers -- soon to become herb planters and thus a Christmas gift for my family. A book ds wanted, a beautiful linen embroidered piece of artwork framed, a cd, some antique Christmas ornaments (my weakness-- I collect them!) and homemade dog biscuits... all for only $20.00. Plus... it goes to a great cause!

So... that was yesterdays bargains...

I didn't hit any tag sales, it is no fun with out Beloved and he had to be at work at 6 to monitor the cutting of a new test thing.
Glad you guys had some fun!

I think it's interesting the way different places call the sales different things... here it's a rummage or garage sale...
