Well another boring month. When I did get out, there certainly wasn't much to be had. Although I did get a few projects done around the house..so that's a plus. Well the first photo is a button I believe, did a little research and it is quite old, made of pewter, other than that..nada. I scored a pretty nice necklace for .50 at a yard sale that has coral and turquoise set in silver. The stick pin top is sterling. The wrench was just cute..lol. I got some sterling and amethyst earrings, one sterling hoop, and a large sterling "hoopy" thing, maybe part of earring(?). 14kt. double wishbone earring. And the show stopper ( not a thrift find) is a 14kt. 1920s art deco wedding band. Been looking forever for one of these and the price was right, and way less than all the others, so I got it, and of course I'm over the moon for it. I actually wanted a platinum one but they are just way more than I want to spend. So here we are going in to July, hot as blazes here in E.Tn. Not sure how much I'll get out this month, but if and when I do I hope its a site better than the last 2 months....stay safe everyone!! Happy fourth of July!!

Looks like you still managed a few nice pieces, more ought to be coming out soon!
Yardsales up here have been slow so far but doing well at book sales!

I've noticed here also that there are not a great many yard sales, not sure what's up with that. Our local flea market used to be the place to go always packed with vendors. Not so much anymore. Weird..

What do you look out for at book sales? First editions or early editions of well known books?
I have a lot of old books, but most of them aren’t worth that much…
