Classified Ad --- Sale

I wanted to share a classified ad that was in our local newspaper last weekend. This will get the attention of you bloggers who love to go to garage sales. The picture is just an indication of the ad. The ad reads as follows:::: I PURCHASED A HOUSE FROM HOARDERS!!


Everything left behind from the previous owners MUST go at ANY PRICE!!All appliances,antique tools,housewares, kitchen wares, table saw,twin bedroom set,rowing machine,and even more antique things. Bring your nose plugs....this house smells. Sale starts noon Fri and goes thru S 606 Eillott

I love a good sale and this peaked my interest but I wasn't sure if I was up to what was to be a stinky walk through. Friday came and it was about one o'clock and I thought why not...maybe I'll give it a try. I was very surprised when I got there.. Not much left and what was should be thrown in a dumpster. Those in charge of the sale had opened in the morning. Yes the house smelled...... but not to the point you needed nose plugs and they had aired it out and put carpet fresh powder down. You could tell it had not been taken care of and I sensed that it might have been an older couple from some of the health equipment left in the one room. To make the story short..the only thing I bought was some wine bottles that had raised grape clusters on them and they were twenty five cents each.
On the bottom are the words Gallop, NM and one pint. I thought they must be old and I liked the grape clusters on them. Not sure what I will do with them yet. Hope you found this a little amusing and of interest. I am looking for a bit more of a better selection this weekend. Happy garage sales to all you treasure hunters.
