I'm talking about the First Annual Bellevue Neighborhood Yard Sale, here in the Pittsburgh, PA region.
Much like the Regent Square neighborhood sale, Bellevue promised the joy and anticipation of serendipitous secondhand. But where Regent Square is a fairly condensed area, and the sale has been going on for several years in a row, Bellevue's participating Victorian homes were spread out over the northern slopes, making for some fascinating items and a lot of really good exercise.
I didn't buy anything there, as my sewing skills don't in any way equal my ambition, but I really enjoyed walking around, seeing the homes and the various items for sale, and thinking about how these things might find new owners who would truly appreciate them.
My buddy Scoobie did find an antique level, as a future Christmas present for her dad...
I also had a blast taking photos of local architecture, flora and fauna. This stained glass window, in what I believe is a chrysanthemum pattern, caught the eye...
I also loved these hydrangeas, where many different colors inhabited just one bush...
And a butterfly bush drew in some friendly swallowtails who didn't mind posing for a brief fashion shoot...
