Pickin' in NJ - Block Sale in Kendall Park!

I LOOOOOVE me a block garage sale! Everyone is so friendly, which I find to be the case with garage sales in general. But there's something about all the neighbors out and about, doing the same thing, running into other neighbors from other streets...it's a lot of fun!

Those of you who follow my other blog will understand that I almost swooned when I pulled up to this house:





AS it turns out, right here in my own neighborhood, lives auctioneer Joe Bodnar, of Bodnar's Auction Sales. Believe me, I will be checking out his monthly auctions in Somerset - see the website for details. The next one is Sept. 9.



All told, there were about 6-7 families.




Look at these cute little cows!!! I have a thing for cows, especially vintage cows. I bought all of them :)



Here's my haul:


Let's just have ONE more look at that sweet little night stand!



It's always great to find treasures in your own back yard. What did you find this weekend??

'Til the next pickin' weekend - have a great week!
