It's still April, and the yard sales have still been sad. Last weekend there were two town-wides in my neighborhood, and though we split forces and divided, we did not conquer, as Mr. VJIMT and I both came home pretty much empty-handed.
But we've still been busy. There have been two Clover Markets in the last 3 weeks, and they have been doozies! Fabulous weather, big crowds, and lots of treasures! I'm not going to bore you with more talking; we're going to get right to the photos.
This post is from the first market of the season, in Chestnut Hill, PA. This awesome non-working Underwood typewriter sold as a spectacular piece of art. I took five typewriters with me and sold out!
This beautiful secretary desk also found a new home.
The folding accordion thing on the top right was purchased on a Facebook sale site, and it came in handy for hanging all of my framed prints.
Some random shots of the booth and the wares…
Last minute decision to take this giant bird cage was a good one, as it sold. I loved it, but had no space to display it.
Assortment of blue and clear Ball jars, as well as jars with fun lid graphics.
Sometimes I like the display pieces even better than the sale item -- here is a plaster pedestal planter filled with our vintage doorknob wine bottle stoppers.
A vintage silver spinning lazy susan tray…
…filled up with flower frogs...
…and lots of keys.
Love my cast iron baking mold too. All kinds of tile letters, rusty parts, wood mice, and other fun crafty goodness.
Someone even bought my flower displays at the end of the day!
I would have loved to have been there! So much to ooo and ahh over!

The one market I love to do every year is coming up the first weekend in June. I've been going back and forth on whether I'd like to participate or not. I haven't been buying a lot and mostly everything is going to my booth. I supposed I could just go to my booth and grab pieces that have been there for ages?
How well do you do on the clear jars with graphic lids? I had the chance to buy hundreds of them last October for cheap and ended up passing, thinking no one would want them. Now I'm seeing them everywhere and KICKING MYSELF!
I've always loved the doorknob wine bottle stoppers. I have so many old doorknobs that are just sitting in my booth. I can always replenish fairly cheaply by going to our local salvage store too.
Also - I'm in love with your lazy susans and other things holding crafting bits. What a great idea!

I follow a few people on IG who sell at Clover Market too. Looks like such a fun place to hunt for junk! But its so dang far away from me...
