Last Friday I hit up a few garage sales, for the most part they were overpriced. I mean c’mon I’m not paying $15 for your old sweaters, that aren’t even in good condition. But then came a listing that said something like “Warehouse Sale”….intriguing…no clue what this could mean but….intriguing. Well I come upon a happening part of town & think to myself, “Self did you write the address wrong, there isn’t any warehouses in this nei-” That’s me stopping because I saw a warehouse with a huge homemade banner that said “WAREHOUSE GARAGE SALE”.

Tim is the collector & told me that he is getting rid as much as he can of his stuff because they are tearing the warehouse down to make a parking lot for a new bar going up. Junk heaven. Have you seen American Pickers? If so it’s like that, a warehouse stacked full of stuff. I didn’t even scratch the surface of this place. It was wonderful! For the most part I hung out in the toys/books area! I won’t name everything I got, I’ll just show you & give you a quick breakdown. 15 books, 3 boardgames, a broken clock (he insisted I take it), 33 Winnie the pooh stamps set (vintage?), 3 milk glasses & a carrier for the milk glasses. And all for the low, low price of $5!! Oh wait there was also a glow in the dark triceratops that Micah picked up while we were there, but I couldn’t pry that guy away from him!

This picture was pre-wipe down of the books. Most are board books that got a quick wipe down & are in fairy good condition. Some books are children’s book from the 40s-60s that are in fair to excellent condition. The good books we put away in our bookshelf, the ones in sad condition I’ll be pulling the illustrations out & framing them. Because there are some BEAUTIFUL illustrations but there are water damage to some books that mean that half the book is squished together. It’s going to make me sad to tear the books apart but it’s better that good pieces get a chance at a new life. I don’t know if anyone is a Raggedy Ann fan but I have a book in fairly good condition (great to frame images from the book) from 1955, if you want it just shoot me a comment/email.
