Well... THAT's the List of "STUFF" that MOTHER Acquired at Today's various YARD-CHURCH-CHARITY-BAZAAR-SALES.
-- IT's "how" We *DO* that whole MATERNAL-PARENTAL-UNIT-DAY Thingy.
And, THANKFULLY, the WEATHER was JUST as GREAT as Last Saturday! A little Warmer even. Of course, We still ended up Leaving The HOUSE *LATER* than hoped! Although, earlier than Last Week. -- We had MORE "Ground" to COVER!
FIRST, there was a SALE a few Streets over...
Where I picked up This PEWTER...
"THINGY"...
I "think" IT's to File Mail..?? Or, perhaps Washcloths..? -- I have NO CLUE!
IT's about 15-Inches, designed to "hang".
Whatever, IT's *heavy*, has a Price-Sticker on the back from HOMESENSE
that reads "$99.99" and I *GOT* IT for $2.!!
[-- okay.. So one of the Flap-Hinges needs a new "bolt" - that, can be easily taken care of with a piece of heavy wire or whatever, I'm sure!]
As well, for 50-Cents, I also picked up - [FURTHER BELOW] - the lovely - [7x7x4"] - FLOWERY-LIDDED-"GIFT"-BOX at the Same Location.
We headed WEST next, to some
"CHARITY"-SALE at a nearby HIGH SCHOOL Yard. I didn't find Anything, but MOTHER made the Odd-Purchase...
BTW, "WEIRD"-Experience-of-the-Day occurred There. -- At the BOOK-TABLE, there was this OLDER-LADY-WITH-A-CANE who had just bought about 15-Pounds of Books... *ASSUMING* that She was going to go straight to Her Car, I "offered" to Carry Her Purchase for Her. BUT, *instead*, She HANDS-ME-HER-KEYS and points to Her Vehicle!?!
I guess I DO have an "HONEST FACE"!! -- Lucky for Her!
So. From There, We continued WESTWARD to a CHURCH-SALE over in Our OLD-Neighbourhood.
Got the small Turquoise GLASS BOWLS - [50-Cents for Both] - and the - [BELOW] - THREE "ENGLISH" BOOKS for a DOLLAR-Each.
 |
| -- I'm not *certain*, but I might ALREADY have THIS ONE..?! -- |
IT was still "Early"-ish, so We turned back EASTWARD to BEACON HILL...
Surprisingly, just a Few Sales going on. I only found This BOOK on MEXICAN ANTIQUITIES - [$2.] - in SPANISH!
-- [NOTE - With the exception of a Handful of Words, I DON'T "Know" any *Spanish*!!] -- But, IT does have Lots of Cool Pictures!
In due course, We made it over to the SALLY-ANN for a Quickie-NON-Purchase-Peruse. A Grocery-Getting-Moment. HOT-DOGS at another "Charity"-Thingy. Then, headed for THE MALL...
-- oh. Look! A Yard-Sale "SIGN"...for the Street just PAST THE MALL...
Where, I "finished-off" with the REST of My BOOTY!
 |
| -- "GIFT BOX" mentioned ABOVE -- -- "CARDINAL TIN BOX" - 7x4" - 50-Cents -- -- "ROPE" - $1. -- -- 48mm "GLASS-LIDDED ALUMINUM BOXES" - 21 for $1. -- |
EVENTUALLY, We got TO THE MALL! Did the "Usual"-TOUR-de-SHOP. -- AND, MOTHER managed to "Acquire" Her much *wanted* FREE "Mother's-Day"-MALL-GIFT!!
"HOLIDAY" MISSION Accomplished!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
