Be careful if you open that bottle or wash it. Sometimes fumes can remain or be reactivated by adding water. open the stopper so it is not going to give you whiff in your direction. Could have had something else in it also! Neat stuff. Halloween ladder-that's a 1st! Sounds cute! Will be handy to place often used tools. So your partner in crime bought all the rest $240. Must have had some great tools! Jan

tall plant is the plumeria "pudica." going to wire the fountain to an outside light so we can control it from the kitchen.

Luvs, I'm not sure how long he'll be with me, he's 11. He will be here indefinitely as far as I can see. It's a long story, rather not post it here for public to see, but my son isn't the problem, the mother of my grandson is. So, just let me say, he is SAFER with me! I adore him, I've watched him since he was 3 weeks old, so not really much different around here except now I get up early everyday! UGH, I'm a NIGHT PERSON, but will do anything for him. Luvs, yes I decided to put out a few fall things, my kitchen & diningroom are still the rooster theme for now, I probably won't do them fall til October, since I got my last rooster a short time ago & like looking at him on my kitchen counter. We have fall all the way til we start xmas decorating, so not rushing it in my kitchen & DR yet.Besides I just may find some more goodies before then! LOL Karen, sounds like you always do great at GW, I would be there too if we didn't have such good yard sales. I did hit them a few times last winter, will probably again this winter. We never had one in our area til last year and it's in a big new building with lots of room, so maybe that will be my hunting grounds for the winter. Forgot to take pics of last weeks tablecloths I got for .50 each. One is fall colors in large checks, one is pink, red & white for Valentines, one is more neutral colors & can't even remember the 4th one, but all great condition for .50 each. I'll probably use them on the table so you'll see them eventually! Still looking for more cloth napkins in all colors. I also picked up some napkin holders, but can't remember bringing them in the house, so have to see if they are in a bag of things I missed Saturday! Hmmm, now I'm wondering where the heck they went to. Too late to go looking now, will look tomorrow!

Here an estate sale is considered an indoor with outdoor items perhaps. Almost everything in the house is for sale and tagged. Usually by someone in the estate sale business. Things are clean and as I said tagged. Usually large items will have a sign saying they will take bids on them - if applicable. Prices are firm until the last day and usually on that morning things are 25% off and later in the day maybe after 11 they go half price. on a big sale the place iscleared out before the 1/2 price goes into effect and then people are let back in. The prices range from the perceived value of the item. I've seen both ends of the spectrum. People line up well before the usual 8 am opening to get in. Most of our sales are run by two popular Estate sale agents and their crews. A tag sale might be in the empty house or just items already priced If you have a lot of stuff it might be well to contact an agent in your community. It might be worth it just to avoid the hassles and headaches and they are usually responsible for everything. One of the most disgusting "estate sales" I went to was run by the family and they had their bed ridden aged mother in the living room watching people go thru her stuff while the family sat around drinking coffee.
