Today we inadvertently stumbled on the Ecco Neighborhood Yard Sale. We did not see it in either of the major Twin Cities papers, but we did see a Craig's List ad saying there would be a . . .

There were no sure bets this weekend. A block down southwest of Lake Nokomis was having a sale (that's always a good neighborhood).
Then, a townhome complex in St. Louis Park was . . .

Oh, did I say we were headed to the Kenny Neighborhood sale? I'm sure it was great, but we'd made plans to go north this weekend. There were a ton of yard sales along the way, . . .

This is a continuation from Part 1, where we showed off the things we did not buy.
Before we discovered we had the Ecco Neighborhood sale on our route, we stopped in a couple sales in the Kenwood/Lowry . . .

Janie decided to work this Saturday, and had to be to work at 10. So no yard sales for her, right? We found a way around that.
The St. Paul, MN Junior League was having a sale that started . . .

Back on May 4th, Central Presbyterian Church in St. Paul, Minnesota had a rummage sale, and Would You Buy This or Not paid a visit.

It did not promise to be a profitable day, but we set out anyway because we knew there were folks out there who could not go yard saling and they wanted pix. It was up and down, but turned out pretty . . .

We were expecting a lot from the Carag Neighborhood Yard Sales, and we were not disappointed. Carag is close in to downtown Minneapolis and is much more diverse than the suburbs we've been shopping . . .

As you may recall from yesterday's post, Janie and I went to the Minnekadha Vista neighborhood of Minneapolis to see if their community sale was any good.
This is almost an inner-ring suburb, . . .

Labor day weekend doesn't always offer up a lot of yard sales, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. Janie decided to work, so I was on my own.

Cool shirts . . .

This Saturday was about 20 degrees cooler than last week, but that didn't dampen the yard sales. They will rage until the snow flies I think, and as long as they keep going, Would You Buy . . .

In late October it would be reasonable to assume that the yard sale pickings would be getting so lean it would be better to go check out some fall colors instead. "I'm not going to find . . .

With a full-on raging blizzard outside, we can't go to any yard sales this weekend, so we're going to take a look at some things we've bought over the years, most of them at yard sales.

Sun's up. It's spring. I've got 8 sales identified. Granted I'll have to go 17 miles West to Edina, and then backtrack 30 miles to the northeast in White Bear Lake, stopping here . . .

As of Saturday, March 28th, we were not in full-tilt yard sale season yet, so our pictures come from a real mix of things: a rummage sale; an estate sale; an antiques show; an Asian grocery; . . .

As will happen some times during a typical summer, our Saturday was taken up by something other than yard sales. The answer was to take Friday off and go YARD SALING! Despite my sneering at . . .
