YARD SALE

Last Saturday a yard sale was held on our street. It took place at the home of a neighbor... Mr. Maye... who passed away last month at the age of 98. I fondly recall Mr. Maye and his late wife Vira... coming to pick apples at my father in-law's orchard. In thanks... Mrs. Maye would gift my in-law's a jar of apple jelly or a hot apple pie. The Mayes were a sweet couple and I thought it would be nice to own something of theirs to remember them by. My first find... an old zinc wash tub...it is my opinion that you can never own to many old wash tubs.... a lovely old tole tray...

be still my heart...not one... but two tablecloths that Mrs. Maye made back in the sixties...

and in lovely condition...

a crocheted table runner...also hand crafted by Mrs. Maye...

a second tole tray...

an old candle mold...

and the grand $3.00 purchase...a cement hen...this baby weighs at least fifty pounds...she proudly resided on the Maye's front doorstep since the seventies... and now she proudly resides on mine!
