Happy treasure hunting in 2015. [View all]

It's 13 degrees out and I'm already chomping at the bit for yard sales to start again! The first one is usually in late March. In between I hit the thrift shops or any estate sales that pop up. Saturdays are a fun ritual: up before dawn and out the door an hour later never knowing if I'll come home with a valuable piece of art or nothing at all. As I get older - now 65 - I realize the fun of the hunt is a valuable resource in remaining "young." Keep on pickin'! (P.S. I found a lovely impressionistic painting at the last sale of the season. By a listed artist and worth a few hundred bucks. I spent $5.00.)
