A Little Crazy, Maybe, But Very Determined

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.

If you've been following this blog of mine for any time, you're aware that I LOVE going on the hunt for great finds, especially at estate sales, flea markets and antique shops.  Tomorrow is going to be one of those hunts, hopefully!  It looks like a marvelous sale and mighty huge, as in 12,000 sq. ft.!  All of this sale takes place in one house and their pole barn.  I first discovered it in an online estate sale ad and noticed some of the items that were posted.  A couple of them caught my eye, actually one in particular; and I just knew it would be perfect for our new condo.  The only crazy part of all this is the time.  I'm going to have to wake up and be on the road by 5 AM tomorrow morning.  I'm figuring it will take me just under an hour to get there and I know there will be lots of dealers already drooling to get into the place.  Fingers and toes crossed that I'll get there early enough to be in the first batch or two that are let in at 9 AM. 

Now if you've never been to an estate sale, it works like this:  You arrive and sign in (this sale states that the sign-in sheet will be out at 7 am.  Once that's done, you can go get coffee or whatever and then get back here by 8 or 8:30.  At 9 AM they'll start letting people in by the number they were signed into on the sheet of paper.  I just know it's going to be crazy busy and  bustling with many people. 

After I leave the estate sale, hopefully, with my great purchase, I'll just drive down the road a few miles and arrive at our son's condo.  He'll be able to store this item for me in his garage and then I'll pick up Hoover, so we'll be granddog sitting again for the weekend...

Here's Hoover and Molly at our cottage...

Wish me luck, everyone.  I'm going to need it.
