Estate sale goodies

My estate sale luck has been holding out! I didn't get to go to last week's sale (too far away) but here is what I found the week before:

More vintage Christmas. Surprised to find these still there on the second day of the sale! Love how the pink & aqua Shiny Brites look together, don't you?

Here you can see that darling pink snowman wrapping paper closer. I've totally hit the jackpot on vintage Christmas wrap this summer. Now what will I do with it all?

I know what I'll do with this paper--it will be headed to my etsy shop later this year. It's in perfect condition, nice and heavy,
as will this paper. It's so neat--vibrant green-blue with magenta writing and magenta glitter. The paper is nice and heavy and there is a lot of it. It would look so cool under my silver aluminum tree, but it will end up in my shop too.
More holiday goodies--a foil Easter egg, patriotic paper napkins that I used that weekend for my Fourth of July dinner, a cute New Year's tiara with vintage aqua crepe trim, and a package of unopened New Year's plates (shop-bound as well).

A cloth napkin printed with sweet purple violets, a really cool sewing applique medallion (that became part of my Fourth of July decor), a box of birthday candles, a roll of fun striped ribbon, and five--count 'em--FIVE vintage folding yardsticks!! I just about squealed when I found these in the garage. I know I can't keep them all but so far I haven't been able to choose which ones to sell and which I just can't part with.

There's another estate sale this weekend and it's in my neck of the woods, so maybe I'll have more good junk to show next week!

  1. FIVE yardsticks! I think I need to spend more time in garages. LOL Shara finally found me a photo of the yard stick crown, now I just need a yard stick that isn't broken.
