There were only 8 garage sales that started today and there wasn’t much to be found.

I purchased a group of six vintage green handled cookie cutters at one sale for $1 which should sell for $15 or a little more. My only other purchase was four Coca-Cola souvenir spoons from 1991 for $1. This was the kind of purchase you shouldn’t make. I bought them more just to ba able to buy something than because they are really salable on eBay. With a good deal of luck they may go for $5. I have to stop making these “frustration purchases.”

Tomorrow I’ll leave home at 5 AM for the two hour drive to the Shady Hollow Flea Market in Detroit Lakes, MN and we will switch to the flea market/antique shop mode for a day. Hopefully the pickings will be better than today’s were.

My original plan was to do this flea market plus another one in Minnesota, then drive down to Minneapolis, spend Sunday shopping in malls there, and then continue on into Wisconsin and make a loop through western Wisconsin getting back home next Friday by way of Duluth.

That changed a few days ago when Arlene severly wrenched her back. She’s able to do next to nothing right now, so I’ll do Shady Hollow and then just stop at a few small antique shops and two thrift shops in Fargo on the way home.
