City-Wide Garage Sales Weekend

So last weekend was my little town's city-wide garage sales -- over 200 garage sales. About 20% start Thursday, another 40% start Friday, and on the official city-wide day of Saturday the other 40% start.  Normally, I am on top of my game those three days, but we were out-of-town until mid-afternoon Thursday, and I needed to leave town again by 9:30 am Saturday.

 So, it was a little hard to figure out which
sales had already been open the day before and therefore were a waste of my time.
Blue milk can I bought for $5, sold for $27.

 Nevertheless, we did our best and picked up a few nice items.
This little adirondack stool is going on ebay.
Bought for $8, SOLD FOR $30.

 Love this antique plant holder,
also heading to ebay.

 Antique carved soapstone Chinese vase.
Bought for $5, sold for $18.

 Hubley doorstop.
Bought for $3, sold for $66.

 My SECOND incubator table, identical to one I bought in April.
Already sold the first one.

 These vintage ceramic angels are not the type of item I normally purchase,
but they were so cute in this vintage upcycled box.
Bought for $5, sold for $14.

 Red and blue, just in time for July.
Notice the cute cart basket behind the coooler.
Bought for $45, sold for $70.

Sweet little stoneware bowl,
I would SO keep it if it weren't blue.
