Today’s wonderful little yard sale in Pomfret

What a sweet and charming place!

Katie and I ventured out early this morning to hit a few yard sales before the rain. There were two great ones on Route 97 in Pomfret. One was held inside and out, by an old barn, and the other was at the home next door, held in this charming little out-building! The photo above shows the place... Signs by the road led visitors to a grassy area for parking, sunflowers in the back added to the charm. It was simply lovely!

Inside were lots of treasures of yesteryear. I purchased three unique items — a decorative wooden plate hand-painted with strawberries on it, a pretty lace window curtain, and a vintage kitchen utensil that I'm almost sure is an old potato masher -- which cost me a total of one whole dollar!

It's just the kind of atmosphere that makes the Quiet Corner a wonderful place to discover!
