If you've been visiting for a while, you might remember that I head to my hometown each May for their annual citywide rummage sales. My sister and I go for the entire day, and it's a lot of fun. I didn't find a lot this year, but I still enjoy going out and seeing what people are selling.
The night before, I visited a St. Vincent dePaul "Dig & Save" outlet. You buy things by the pound. I found this GIANT spool of yarn for $1.33! It will make tons of cat blankets for the local shelter.

I found a neat old chicken yard ornament for .50.
I also found some older kitchen utensils. These forks could be serious weapons! The item on the right is a pickle fork.
This was not a yard sale find, but I thought I'd share it anyway. My parents gave me a concrete St. Francis of Assisi statue for my birthday. He is the patron saint of animals. There's an amazing concrete statue place about 30 minutes from their place that sells thousands of statues. I've wanted one of these for many years.

You definitely scored well! And I too want a St. Francis statue; shopping for one is one my 'to-do' list for this long weekend!

So how did Fox Valley dig and save rate vs. Madison? :-)
THAT'S a ball of yarn? Before I read the post, I thought it was a vase or something! That is massive. Love the statue!
now that's a yarnball :) What a very nice gift from your parents.
That is a beautiful statue. You got some great deals too.
Such fun finds! I've never even heard of a Dig & Save outlet!
