Old North End

Every year the Old North End which is located near downtown Colorado Springs, has a massive yard sale.  And, this year was not a disappointment!  Actually, this was only my second time attending this massive barrage of STUFF.  Now, the Old North End is the older part of the Springs with its massive houses, which was the hub of aristocrats back in the day.  The grand homes with so much history and apparently, so much STUFF.  My best friend, Ginger, my son, and his friend all got together and we walked up and down the neighborhoods looking for lost treasure we needed.

My son found himself some fantastic finds.  He also showed himself as a haggler of sorts, he is definitely good at bringing down the price on STUFF, it must be his boyish looks.  We scored big!!  I did purchase a fly fishing rod for almost nothing, the young man who sold me the his equipment never used it!!  Now, I need to take it to the Fly Fishing shop and purchase a reel.  Also, I purchased some liqueur glasses and a small flat screen television, that works!  I believe I spent about $25.00 for everything I purchased.  I know, I know, I don't need more STUFF, but I didn't buy STUFF.  I purchased dreams!

Anyways, if you are ever visiting the Springs, keep a look out for the massive Old North End yard sales.  It is so worth the day walking through beautiful neighborhoods and searching for the right STUFF!
