Always thought I would like to give story telling a try. I wanted to comment on the chestnut table. What a find-- certainly worth the drive -- chestnut trees are extinct, except for a few stragglers,in the US.

I have found many books, old kitchen items and linens. It's the thrill of the hunt, the not knowing what you are going to find next and the bargains. Some people would not be seen stopping at a yard sale, but they are the ones missing out.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-31699230305859308082011-03-03T21:14:53.187-05:002011-03-03T21:14:53.187-05:00Great tips Granny Sue!

You don't save anything if it all runs out the exhaust pipe. Although once we drove about 50 miles back to a yard sale I'd seen the day before. It looked great from the road. When we got there--not so much. As we were leaving I happened to spot a long coffee table leaning against a wall and asked about it. It turned out to be handmade of chestnut, and we got it for $25--so in the end the trip paid off, but for a while it certainly looked like a big waste of time and gas.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-6141269077862826482011-03-03T20:29:07.619-05:002011-03-03T20:29:07.619-05:00Thank you for adding my blog to your list of favor...Thank you for adding my blog to your list of favorite blogs.

Be careful -- don't buy just to buy -- you'll end up like a hoarder. 5. Plan your junking trip so you don't waste money on gas. Fun post -- love junking.Folkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-61379269708155586752011-03-03T17:18:40.238-05:002011-03-03T17:18:40.238-05:00Hey Granny Sue!!

Especially the kitchen things--I enjoy thinking about the women before me who used them. Today I found a lovely apron for 50cents (on my lunch break). Handmade--so who made and wore it? I would love to know.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-31579466795885771472011-03-03T15:51:16.690-05:002011-03-03T15:51:16.690-05:00Granny I love going "Junking" :o) there...Granny I love going "Junking" :o) there just aren't many places here in NC ..(I still get lost going places here).
