Every year St. John’s Anglican Church has a Fall Fair and EVERY year I go!! This year was not going to be an exception! I dressed for Winter and by the time I walked from my car to the Early Bird line up I was sweating…profusely! It turned out to be an overcast but warm day…there I was in my thick turtle neck sweater with scarf and jacket! Sheesh!
The Fall Fair consists mainly of a HUGE Garage Sale, a hall full of silent auction items, jewelry and baking, a huge tent of clothing neatly hung up (fill a bag for $5), a series of 3 or 4 huge tents of books, a huge tent for ‘to die for desserts’ and coffee (grave yard next door!!)and another for food and then of course there are lots of things for kids to do.
Here’s the Garage Sale Section…my favourite place to be!!
And the lady on the right in green and brown (below)..that’s her mom, Nancy…OH and the little lady in the orange jacket..and huge bag- Oh and that’s my friend Carolyn…another retire teacher/GS NUT!! Wonder what she bought??? Who did I SEE? NO ONE!!

BUT I could tell you what’s on the tables…and under them…and over to one side…:o)
This was the linen and fabric table…Carolyn is scouting out the fabric…probably scooped all the good stuff while I was busy taking pictures!! She may be small but she is fast!!
There’s one of our local doctors..he found a bike to buy. Man I am seeing tons of stuff I missed before I took these pictures…If I could only go back!!
The line up has started for the food…Deacon Dogs and Bishop Burgers are the favourites…
Kids in the bouncy Castle…
The produce/plant table…
BUT…
Let me show you some of my ‘finds’- a Big Bag of Buttons for $2
…all neatly sorted into bags of colours…so pretty!!

I have big plans for this little guy…can’t you see little succulents all over his body…sounds gross when I put it that way…but he will be adorable. This will be a Spring project so out to the shed for you!
This lovely reading lamp…weighs a ton!! BUT it was so worth the work of carrying it for miles…in that hot turtleneck sweater…
Side view- I still need to polish it up…but he’s a keeper!!
Fill a bag for $5…I filled two!! Got these two 100% wool coats into one bag…and in the other tons of men’s cotton shirts and a new wardrobe for me! ha ha
A cute garden stake…that became a lethal weapon for anyone in my path!! I wonder how many times I said “Sorry!”
Have a super Sunday and Happy Quilting!!~P
Looks like you are we having a great time, looking through everything. You got some great stuff.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are feeling better. You certainly picked up a variety of items at the garage sale. Your turtle will be excited to have company next year out in the garden. Have a super day!
ReplyDeletecertainly looks like there were bargains to find....and a nice day to look
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any wheely carts? Were they allowed? I have seen people with wagons at some outdoor shows or with bags with wheels on them. Whatever you decide to do next year, I'm sure it will still be fun looking.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great day! I would have started with the books ... The wool jackets you found will be transformed into something lovely, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, no good yard sales for me.
ReplyDeleteAll we saw was little ones with junk and when I saw our local shelter was having their big sale, it was closing up, so nothing good left:(

We definitely get into a zone when we attend a venue we're excited about. I'll bet your friends didn't notice you either. LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat finds though!
Good Stuff to root through!!! One of MY favorite things to do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great haul for you at the rummage sale. I see great potential in many of your finds.
ReplyDeletePerhaps next year a large wheeled suitcase would be the thing to take!
ReplyDeletelooks like you truly had a great time
ReplyDeletecheers

Now that's the kind of sale I would like to find. Flea markets don't interest me much any more because it is mostly new stuff that doesn't appeal.
ReplyDeleteYour posts always make me chuckle. Love your blog, it's always the first one I go to EVERY morning! Looks like you had lots of fun!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I think one of those portable shopping carts on wheels would come in handy next year.
ReplyDeleteOh, I so enjoyed your event and all the "finds"! this was a treat to see. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so jealous, looks like so much fun, just the kind of thing I love. I think I'd better come visit you! I also think that Carolyn bought everything you would have!
