Sun City is the most amazing place to yard sale ever, totally worth the 30 minute drive for sure. All the houses are from the the 50's-70's and are in perfect shape. They kind of look like the neighborhoods in the movie Edward Scissor Hands and they all have astro turf or green rock no one has grass...no one. Oh did I forget the nick nacs, each house has several items in the front of their houses like frogs playing a banjo, or a fake bridge and wishing well, you even get the occasional flamingos. Fab-u-lous!
It's a 55+ community and everyone is just so dang nice about selling their crap, I love it. Of course I am always looking for anything vintage and we always find it. A couple of weeks ago I was looking for all things sewing because I'm crafting lately. I was on the look for vintage fabrics, ribbons, and notions and we found it. I bought 4 boxes of stuff for only $15.00, it was an estate sale and the grand kids of the grandmother that had died we in charge of the yard sale. When they saw I was looking for all the sewing stuff they invited me inside the house to rummage through 2 closets and 2 dressers of fabrics that they hadn't pulled out yet.
They said they weren't even going to bring it out because they didn't think anyone would be interested in old fabrics, wrong I am! Here are some photos of what I got, probably doesn't look like anything but a pile of crap but trust me it's everything I was looking for that week.
