Yard sale, day 1

This weekend my complex is having a park-wide yard sale. I got a late start (surprise!) and set up some of my stuff: jewelry, art supplies, assorted knick-knacks. The usual. Made a whopping $17 in about an hour, then didn't make another sale for three hours.

 When my dad got home I asked him to watch the loot so I could bike around the neighborhood and check out what other people were selling. Beings that Friday isn't a typical yard sale/garage sale/swapmeet day I'm not surprised there wasn't much going on, but I did pick up a few things from a lovely elderly lady.

I found an endearingly, shall we say, "loved" (read: beat up) looking gold-plated "N" charm necklace. I asked whose name started with "N," and as it turns out and she and her sister used to buy boxes of jewelry from estate sales and sell it on Ebay. She told me to take it when I told her my name. I ended up getting two more items from her at no cost; a feathery flower sweater pin, and this little gem.

Sorry for the out of focus phone picture. I wore it the rest of the time I was selling.

Come tomorrow or Sunday I also might be the owner of a lovely blue 11-pound bowling ball named Linda Juli. (Where "Linda" came from I have no idea.) I'll keep you posted.
