I haven't even unpacked the goodies from Saturday's surprise estate sale, but I wanted to show you what I found last week. Even though I had the kiddos with me, I was able to hit a few estate sales and came away with treasures, such as:
vintage Christmas goodies including two neat corsages (LOVE the pink & purple one!), a strand of glass beads and neat shaped ornies
vintage candles (the altar boys are Gurley, don't know about the angels & snowman--Standard Oil, maybe?)
Vintage Christmas seals, twisty foil, garland, and a Christmas card file box that contained a card that made me laugh out loud (click to enlarge so you can read it)
More vintage Christmas, including a couple of tree toppers for my collection
Vintage earrings for crafting, pipe cleaners (etsy-bound) and gold glitter
A cute aqua blue tablecloth (probably headed to etsy
A picnic or beach towel with bright happy toadstools (headed to etsy)
And this darling bag made of a vintage tablecloth and a chenille bedspread
So if that's the loot I found with two kids in tow, can you imagine what I could have scored if I'd been solo? I actually would have bought more boxes of vintage Shiny Brites, because the price she quoted me when I got to the checkout was even cheaper than they were marked--but my arms were full of Octo-Baby Porter and trying to carry boxes of fragile glass ornaments likely wouldn't have ended well. Oh well, I found lots of good stuff, we found a fun new park for Maren, and we all got out of the house, so I'm not going to worry about the what ifs! Plus when I've just had such a good weekend, it seems more than a bit ungrateful to complain!
Did you find any *good junk* this weekend? What did you think about the LOST finale?
I love every single thing!!
ReplyDeleteFAB-U-LOUS!!
Wow!! You totally scored. I never find that much vintage goodness at any estate sales here in Maryland!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure those angel candles are Gurley - I have one that's exactly like it sitting behind me on a shelf right now!
Can't wait to see what you found at this weekend's estate sale.
Not only am I in awe of your finds, I'm in awe of the fact you could shop at all with kids! A baby even!
ReplyDeleteLove the finds. Vintage Christmas and tablecloths and craft stuff - are you kidding me???
ReplyDeleteI couldn't sleep last night for thinking about LOST. I had to think about it and decide what I really thought had just happened. Yesthey were all dead, but they had all lived everything we had seen - the island, the reality, everything. I neer was a big Juliette fan, but when she got with Sawyer, it really touched me. I always thought Sawyer was a softie, but never showed it much. I like the last scene with everyone happy and clean and in nice clothes. I imagine that was a nice scene for them to film. Except for the whole "being dead" thing...... That creepy Ben is still alive though. I hope he doesn't get a spin off! YIKES. I could go on and on... I will miss LOST. RIP.
You got some great stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou shop really well with kiddos! I'm not sure I could have done so well being solo! :0)
ReplyDeleteyummy !!! love the table cloth! No junk found here, was actually selling junk at a vintage flea:)
ReplyDeleteLovely! That able cloth is to die for! I wouldn't be able to part with it. :) I wish there were more estate sales in NYC but alas, no such luck. I'll have to live vicariously through you! Can't wait to see the rest of the finds.
ReplyDelete(And I'm still confused about Lost. I need a tour guide with show lol)
Wow, what a score. I love love vintage Christmas stuff. and those earrings for crafting are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI loved Lost. Loved every moment of it, loved the end with Jack's dad, beautiful. I love the table as well, what a great find, very cute.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any amazing tips for storage for all these goodies you find?
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! I never find estate sales here. Do you find yours in the paper? That card is cute, lol.
ReplyDeleteAt first I was NOT pleased with the Lost finale, but after some research, Im happy with it. Now that I understand what happened, I might go back and rewatch it. Im just sad its over!!
