Friday, the yard sales were sparse, so I stopped by one of my 'usual' stuff~shops that I hadn't been to in several weeks. I scanned the 'usual' spot for the 'usual' basket of scarves. It still held the s.a.m.e. scarves that it had the previous few times that I had been there. Of late, their scarf prices had been creeping higher and higher and were now up in the $2 - $3 range, with only an occassional $1.50 mixed in. WHY? I don't know. This shop is in a College Town, and that is the only explanation that I can come up with~ because I'm sure the locals won't pay the prices. THIS local won't anyways. Not even for a beloved VERA. I still must look. After scanning the 'usual' basket and coming away with nothing, I continued on. I had almost completed my rounds when I spotted another basket on a different shelf, full of 'fresh' scarves. Marked by a different 'guard' (L-1). .50¢ !! VERA !! (2010 #16 & 17).... Oh, Life is Good!! 
At the next 'stuff~shop~stop' I grabbed two old SCRABBLE games. I have been in search of these to put the old wooden letters to use. At .75¢ each I think that I did okay.Saturday was spent gardening between raindrops, and as a reward for a productive day, Sunday we went to MARKET! Not to our usual Flea Market ~ this time, we headed in the opposite direction...
They had LOTS of eye candy!!
and I came home with LOTS of ideas, inspiration, and more 'green growies'!!
ANGELS TRUMPET (Datura) ...another type of a Moon Flower /night blossoming plant that I have long admired a few blocks from our house on our evening walks!!~AND ~

Now that's more like it for scarves! Good job and you found a Vera! Yeah! Oh you did great on the old scrabble games, they are usually more around here!
What a terrific score on the Vera scarves! I always pick up Scrabble games, too. Most often I find them for around a dollar and I am thrilled.
I have yet to find a single sweater clip ANYWHERE. What's up with that, I wonder? I mean, you don't live anywhere near me....
I just gathered up all my Scrabble tiles to count them. I am at 962! Sets of over 1,000 sell for over $100.00. So, I am almost there!
That sweater clip, wowza! What is it? Mink?
OK, I mean it, I'm sending you the sweater clip I managed to literally grab out of someone's hands at a recent estate sale. Do you need a blue rhinestone one? The sweater clip you featured looks like two caterpillars got caught on it, ha ha! I found two stickpins at the same estate sale so I'm happy, especially since another lady who I get stickpins from has starting selling them TO OTHER PEOPLE (gasp!) and she's raising her prices. Greed greed greed!!!
Another wonderfully quirky sweater clip! And I love your Scrabble game idea; I may have to join you!
