    Yard Sale Oddities?

    Published by Pam Kessler | 210 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 21 Comments

    What's the oddest thing you ever bought at a yard sale?

    A chipped Garfield coffee mug? A can of Billy Beer? An upholstered chair with a questionable smell (you know what I mean, no one wants me to type "pee" in my post, do they)?

    Yeah, well I bought a pair of wild turkey legs at a yard sale last weekend.

    Dried wild turkey legs.

    Trump that!

    I thought my son would think they were fun. Turns out they make good back scratchers. Not that I am touching them with a ten foot pole, but that is what I am told.

    Besides, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I'm sure there is some way I can work them in to the fall decor.

    So, do tell. What is the weirdest thing you have ever bought?

    If you are looking for me this weekend, I will be at the Country Living Fair here in Columbus (Please do not rob my house, my twenty Dobermans will be home alone and hungry). I will be tweeting and instagraming and facebooking and all that stuff while I'm there.

    And I will be sure to let you know if wild turkey legs are all the rage at the Fair this year! I just have a feeling about this one.

      Hi,
      I just stumbled upon your blog via Common Ground Be Inspired because I love your headboard over the mantel idea. It is gorgeous! Then I found this post with the turkey legs and I am afraid to read other posts now! Just kidding...what an incredibly odd find!
      I love your pinterest board titled Jungue--great ideas you have collected. I have a banana box almost identical to one you have pinned only we transformed ours into a coffee table. You can see it on my post titled 'Fall Is For Me'.
      Thanks for a good laugh this afternoon with the turkey legs.
      Fondly-Lisa

I enjoy upcycling and repurposing thrift store finds, super easy DIY projects (if it can’t be finished in an afternoon, it’s not getting completed), and mixing quirky vintage finds throughout my home decor.
