    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
