Yard Sale Treasures

On Friday I didn't even look in the paper for yard sales because I knew with all the kids (Lindy MaryJane, Kate, Jack, and Lena) that i wouldn't be going anywhere. But, at 9:51 I remembered that Lindy had ballet, so we got her in her tutu and loaded everbody in the car. On the way to ballet I saw a yard sale sign so we dropped Lindy off then headed back to the yard sale. I got out and left the kids in the car, but soon went over and told Jack to come and see what was for sale. This guy had a huge box of Hot Wheels cars for 50 cents or 3 for $1. So I told Jack to pick three for him and three for Logan. He could hardly stand it, he was so excited! We ended up with 12 cars because I found a grater and a Tony Hawk van that I knew Logan would love and Jack couldn't decide on just three. But as you can see from the picture, the cars weren't the only treasure! I got a stack of corelle plates (14 large, 12 medium, and 8 small) for $3.50, this pattern is from the 80's my Grandma Segler had it, now it is retro cool. Also a bucket of wooded macrame beads, good for endless fun things, for 50 cents. We found sidewalk chalk for the girls for $1, and an old glass quart jar, some little branding irons, an R, W, and a line(I am not sure why either, the R got me, maybe some Reeve will want it), a bicycle helmet and some wooden cars that I remember having when I was little. Does anyone else remember these? We had a train and the towtruck and a track that they went on. When I showed them to Darin he reminded me that you can wind them up by turning the red knobs on the top. They are stamped "1972 Mattel", they were a quarter each. So I am glad that we got out of the house for a treasure hunt!
