Friday morning I was driving my son to school, the girls (one was sick and the other didn't have school) were at home with Daddy who was working from home. I knew I had to get home because I had people coming over and I had to CLEAN.
As I am driving to the school I see the ESTATE SALE sign, but I keep driving and the whole time I was thinking about the sign.... I couldn't drop the kid off fast enough! Next thing I know I am driving down the street that the estate sale is on looking for it! Found it and went in! Oh I saw some pretty stuff! Milk glass, old knick knacks, Halloween, Christmas, old linens, furniture, all at really good prices too!
Anyway, I found a lovely pillow in the living room, 2 ceramic chicken plaques for the kitchen and then I found the craft room! Found lot there, lace, bias tape, old sewing box, cabbage patch clothes, fabric and other sewing stuff! I was in heaven! As I was about to check out I found the little green plate and pitcher, added that to my pile! The women was adding everything up and I mentioned the wooden bench out in front and how much did they want for it. Another women said to sell it to me for, can you believe this, $1.00! I of course said SOLD! Everything including the bench was $21.00.

If you enlarge the picture you can see everything better!
(no plates, I did look!)
My girls were very happy about the doll clothes!
They had dressed their dolls within minutes!
I did get everything clean, banana bread done and a nap before they showed up!
How neat! Your girls are so cute!! We all need the bumper sticker that says "I stop for estate sales!" LOL!...Christine
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic items! I'd say you did VERY well on your little side-track. I am so happy when I hear that someone re-claims items that can be very useful. The girls look happy about it too. :) xxoo

Hi Susan...
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are so funny but I know exactly where you're coming from...I would have been hurrying to that estate sale too! You found some great bargains and that bench for $1...come on, that was stealing!!! Hehe!!! You sure did make your little girl's day with all of those darling cabbage patch dolls clothes! I didn't know those dolls were still popular...all 3 of my girls had them when they were growing up and they are in their 30's now! So happy for you, my friend...great "treasure finds"!!!
Hope that you're having a super Sunday!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
Your girls are adorable! That's great that they had so many good things for you to get! I would have been very happy to find that craft room!
