Meghan, your a hoot! I just found your blog and love it. Your welcome any time at any sale of mine. My mom & aunt loved your style too. I have some other bakelite items that I had in storage that I would love for you to see I”ll try to send you some photo’s at the end of the week, we are right in the middle of moving so its a beit crazy. “Your Name Is All over these!”
Oh I must mention this, that painting that your friend bought by Neece Clark was a horrable error that it even got into the garage sale. My mother is still in the dog house for that. ” I Loved it and even hired her to paint in my bathroom she is a very talented local artist and her work sells for thousands of dollars and would buy it back in a heart beat! Isabell yes you have a great eye for an investment too, keep an eye on Neece Clark work. This kind of error can start a battle of snarky anonymous comments that can hurt people that are working hard at what they love. Any way Meghan keep in touch. Oh P.S. the question has been asked WHen are you going to open a shop!

Thanks Isabell!
$500 for a suit in insane and looking at Ebay most don’t go to even close to that for the total special “Hollywood” swimsuit. I have a great plaid 40s one that i love, but it’s had a long life. Few more years left in it.

Meghan, I just got back from NY and this wonderful boutique with loads of insane things had some vintage swim suites from the 40′s that were selling for 500.00 bucks I thought of you what a great steal you found when you bought yours. I cant say that I have had the same luck with good investments from Garage Sales. That painting that I bought that day for $1.oo of Neece Clark eek just a wantabeee. Tying to rip off Georgia o’ Keefe after looking her. Bad Art read this article http://www.boingboing.net/2009/06/26pigeons-trained-to-r.html Pigeons trained to recongnize bad art. There was Pigeon shit on the painting it was a sign. You have a talent for finding the gem, ever tried your hand at picking stocks . Oh P.P. when ya going to open your own shop.

Gah, I’d die to go to a sale at Lorie’s house. She is the most stylish person ever – she has cases at Pacific Galleries antique mall that are next level amazing; people from Martha Stewart have interviewed her and taken photos and shit. I love this blog, thanks for doing it.

isabell, I don’t remember much being a buck, but overall it was a great sale and honestly I am willing to pay just about anything for a bathing suit that doesn’t make me want to kill myself.

You are so lucky to have such amazing yard sales! Most of the sales in East TN consist of Nascar collectibles, dried floral arrangements and unopened Pepsi bottles. Finding a sale like the one above would be a dream come true for me!
