A Little Bit of Yard Sale Stalking

It's 7 am, the air is crisp, the leaves are falling, and my adrenaline is racing.  Was I walking or participating in some kind of other physical activity?  Psshh, no!  I was sitting in my car outside of someones home waiting for a sale!  I certainly hope I didn't creep the residents out as much as I probably did, but read this little Craigslist add and tell me you wouldn't be excited!
Mid Century Modern, retro and vintage sale. Two collectors of MCM combining to have one sale to make room for new treasures. This Saturday 9-22 from 9-3 only.
Heywood Wakefield table, Turner prints, Kurt Versen floor lamps, Moe Honeycomb light fixtures. Art, fabric, accessories, jewelry, kitchen, china, linens, lamps, furniture, and several items salvaged from a mid century home. Including, shag carpet tiles, vct flooring, bathroom mirror cabinets, hardware, plastic tiles, cook top, light fixtures and lots lots more.
Doesn't that just scream awesome? It was in a side of town that is known for great mid century modern homes, so I figured there had to be something good. I was right!  A few things for the booth and a few things for me, just how I like it!

I approached the sale only after a crazy man dang near side swiped my car just to get to get to it himself and who also then took the lamp I had been staring at all freakin morning and really really wanted.  Oh well, I was trying to be polite and I know they appreciated it. 

I got these great clocks for a steal.  They will be really cool on someones desk or night stand.  

Check out this fabulous lamp!  I believe it is like one that Rae over at Say it Ain't So found a few weeks ago.  The silver star burst design is super cool!

And see that Fire King dish?  She sold it to me for $1.  It will look great with the little custard dishes my Grandma got me of the same pattern.  

These little elephant wall hangings are adorable.  They look to me like they are dancing!  Dancing their way into my house!  Haha, I crack myself up.

My most favorite find was this set of stained glass light fixtures.  I'm not sure how old they are, but they are really cool nonetheless.  They are meant to be hardwired into a junction box (not sure if that is the right name for the thing I am thinking), but I think I will change that and add a long plug so they can go anywhere.  Good thing I have a super handy Husband and an electrician brother!  

They will live in my sun room with this beastly lamp.  Pretty much everyone is scared of it, but I love the hideousness of it!  "It's so fuzzy I'm gonna die!" Despicable Me

So that is the tale of my yard stale stalking.  It was my first experience with getting up at the butt crack of dawn to go paw through other peoples stuff, but it probably won't be my last.  

I'm sure I'm not the only one who did a little sale stalking this weekend .  Did anyone find anything crazy awesome?
