How This Blog Got Its Name

Here's the story. My Grandma, Ilean Thomas Ingram, was a "backyard sale" aficionado. It was a love we shared as I grew old enough to drive the two of us around to sales. One of her great joys was to show off one of her finds and crow, "I gave a whole DIME for it!" It has become a family tagline for thrifty finds. I miss my backyard sale buddy.
