This weekend was garage sale weekend. Several neighborhoods around the area were all having their neighborhood garage sales. My sister and I met up at our parents' house to go garage sale-ing in their neighborhood because it is THE BEST (in my opinion) place to shop.
I'll spare you a bunch of chatter and just let you know what I found:
It happened like this- we were driving by a house on the street my friend Shanyn grew up on and I caught this out of the corner of my eye, tucked in the corner of a lady's garage. I made my sister pull over and after a little bit of negotiationg, I had me a new table. I ended up paying $125 for this beautiful table- and it was in perfect condition.
Once I got home, I did a little research and from what I found out that (correct me if you know more than I do)... it is an antique oak carved drawleaf table. Several sources online indicated that it could be worth up to $1,200. I was astounded at that! My husband wants to sell it, but I told him that was not going to happen.
Just wanted to share my find with you all.
