Magnets With Flare

This fall when I went to the World's Largest Garage Sale I saw a booth that really stuck out to me because it was so original and quirky. The owner Felicia Savage called her business "Magnets With Flare" and all she sold were these little magnets! I discovered the woman was from Stillwater New York-- and this is what she made. Yes- she made all these little magnets the size of a quarter.

She had all sorts of magnets with any theme imaginable!You like panda bears? She's got one! You like Care Bears? She's got one! You need a trophy? Yep! There's one of those too! Are you in love with a Werewolf like we are? Yes- she has magnets for the Twilight Series fans too! It was crazy all the random photos she had all captured behind the little glass domes!

I mentioned it was amazing that she was able to find all these random photos to put inside the magnets and she just giggled at me and said she thought it was fun. I loved how cheerful she was about her creations and thought it was fun picking out some of my favorite ones to take pictures of.

Treasure Hunt At The World's Largest Garage Sale

This past weekend I attended the “World’s Largest Garage Sale” in Warrensburg New York. It happens each year on the first weekend in October and I would say pack up the car and take a road trip- it is a sight to see! The community is usually comprised of a small population of about 3 to 4 thousand people, depending on who you ask.  But, on this weekend it swells to nearly 100-thousand people looking for a bargain. I am no exception! This Crafty Girl and her daughter both love a good deal! So we were on a mission.

We were looking from a crafting, antique, and good deal perspective- because well, we knew you would want to know what’s out there! If you can be patient to deal with all the businesses who are trying to sell their wares in the garage sale you will find some great handmade gems and also some true garage sales. I suggest you don’t try to do this in one day if you truly want to find a “deal”. You will want to go to all the side streets and it’s virtually impossible to get around town quickly with all those people. Even so, if you have just one day go and take in the sights. You might find something you like and if you don‘t it‘s still a ton of fun!

Here are some of the sights!
