Do you have a tag sale treasure?

This past summer I was driving to take my kiddies to play minature golf in Montauk. While driving through Amagansett I spotted two women walking from behind a hedgerow (as it's so commonly called in the Hamptons) carrying the most gorgeous settee and at the same time I noticed a sign that read "Tag Sale!" Well, I immediately pulled over knowing that by the looks of the settee this was a sale to see. I got out of my car and walked with a pace so fast that it could have easily been called jogging! I could not wait to see what was waiting behind the hedgerow for me!
Ready for this? What was waiting was one of Domino Magazine's swag sales! Yes, that's right, after the magazine folded (which still leaves me feeling sad) they had a couple of tag sales (I know of two, one in the city and one in the Hamptons). I only attended the one in the Hamptons. I scored this amazing headboard...it was calling my name! I convinced the gal in charge that I was going to play minature golf with my kiddies, that I needed her to hold it and that I'd be back to buy. What a lovely gal...I'm grateful she trusted I'd return. So, this queen size headboard is my tag sale treasure! What's yours?

Thanks so much! I smile everytime I look at the headboard and it's a fun story to tell. The linens were a Homegoods find!
