I had just about given up looking for goodies at yardsales until today! I lucked into a black mourning dress,hat,and hankie...a Lindberg model skull(new) and 2 soldering guns with accessories all for 8 bucks.

There were SO many more goodies I passed on and am now regretting

OMG>>> There are bargains to be found. I too feel like I am coming up empty at garage sales and thrift stores . Maybe there is hope.
You scored big time. That is a great looking mouring dress with hat. Excellent. The lindberg and soldering gun. Dang. $8.00 bucks????? Lucky Lucky you.
What's your plans for everything?????

Awesome find!..

Yeow! Especially the dress... $8 was a steal. All I've been coming across (and very little of that) are cute things. Not my type of stuff.

Nice Find...love the Dress & Hat & Dainty Hankey!!

OK, Deadna - I officially hate you. Just kidding - those are STELLAR freaking finds. Congratulations!!! The dress by itself would have been wonderful, but the skulls too - WOW!

That dress looks amazing. Yard sales are awesome. I wish I could find great stuff like that.

I'm a horrible hoarder and never get around to using much of the stuff I have...LOL!
I bought a wedding dress years ago for 5 bucks and decided THIS was the year I was going to put it on a bucky....now I want the black outfit instead...probably won't do either in the end knowing me
The Lindberg skull kit says it is from 1984 and hasn't been put together so I may not touch that at all...it's kind of neat!

LOL...Pandora! Thanks to all...just to let you know the dress does look good in the pic but it's really a simple polyester frock. It was homemade by the former owner(now deceased)...I sew and was going to do a frilly one like others have shown here but this will do for now. Gonna be a chore getting it on a bucky with all those wires and screws snagging on the poly! Good luck in all your future hunts...seems like I find the best stuff this time of year!

Yard Sales=Haunters Best Friend Last year I baught a trench coat for a prop for a buck!
