I usually blurt out quite loudly, "You're totally creeping me out okay?!?" But I agree... there's more than enough Junque in the World for everyone to 'score' their fair share... I just don't like Shadows and Barnacles casting a dark cloud over an otherwise Glorious Adventure I'm on! *winks* Glad you swooped up all the keys... bet Barnacle is STILL fuming about it! *LOL* Blessings from the Arizona Desert...

I once was looking through a free box when a male barnacle swooped in and snatched up the whole box. He nearly took my hands with it! <br /><br />I'm new to your blog and enjoying it immensely. <br /><br />Also a JudyJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002955782128223182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290906174214104771.post-45957835579038414742014-07-16T09:04:04.810-07:002014-07-16T09:04:04.810-07:00A person like that is so funny and at the same tim...A person like that is so funny and at the same time - a little scary! I like the term "Barnacle". It fits her perfect. I was at an estate sale once and there was a box of vintage baby clothes. The same thing happened to me. She just butted in and started going thru the box. Come on people, have some manners!<br /><br />I am new to your blog and your newest follower.<br /><br />Judy20 North Orahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215328045988219360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290906174214104771.post-10123405528520868082014-07-15T20:32:15.188-07:002014-07-15T20:32:15.188-07:00I grrr when I go into the mouse poo outbuildings, ...I grrr when I go into the mouse poo outbuildings, dig in the BACK of poo filled cabinets, bring out into the light of day, items, that the estate sale organizers don't even know that they have, in other words...do their job for them...and then they price it like it's the Mona Lisa. When I have to walk away, I just realize that there will be another day. I got shouted at this weekend, too.

I've had this very experience..hence the evil twin thought. I had to pull up my big girl panties and say, "Do you mind!!? I will happily give you the box when I am done with it!" It made her back off, but then she started going through my "pile" to buy. The nerve......<br /><br />Great finds! I love sales like this. They are few and far between.

Estate sales frequently bring out the WORST in people. I get it, I feel that urge myself, that urge to elbow and jostle and push to the front to be the first in line for the best stuff, but I TAMP IT DOWN as should all of us who call ourselves civilized, BARNACLE. And look at you, you're living proof that a calm, polite demeanor STILL nets you some of the most awesome stuff EVER. You have the same skill that Shara does -- it doesn't matter what time she shows up at a sale, she is ALWAYS going to find the coolest stuff. It's a gift, and I'm glad to see you valuing it as much as you do. As a sacrifice to the Estate Sale Gods, in order to stay in their favor, you might want to send me those keys. Just sayin'.

Mine likes to take things out of my hands and say "Oh, thank you for picking that up for me". It wasn't funny the first time or the 50th. Once I even caught her asking Maddie what she had found. Lucky for me, my girl is way too smart to fall for that. But one of these days, those teenage hormones are gonna hit and the lady may not like what Maddie has to say:-)<br /><br />Are you going to the Expo this weekend?<br /><br />Erica<br /><br />ThrifterSistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534524822325441476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290906174214104771.post-92136403593306261092014-07-07T19:17:53.417-07:002014-07-07T19:17:53.417-07:00Love this post.
