Friday today. Designated estate sale day in my life. I went to the estate of a 80 year old woman and was number 18 to get in. (so got in quick!) Got some big bottlebrush trees and some other fun stuff. But there under the table was a box of plastic that made my heart swoon.
I think it is old. But it is made of plastic and is made to resemble pressed glass. The colors are what got me. A great pink and a greeny/yellow. I got two cake plates, a footed bowl, a bowl, a elongated piece (a shallow type vase which will look great this summer with pink dahlias), and a container with a lid. I can only imagine a summer party with all these yummy pieces put to good use. I paid $12 for all of it. It make me happy just looking at it!
Hello Laurie! I just love these fun estate finds, especially the cake plates! I met you standing in line at the front of the Farm Chicks. I have been following your blog since then and thank you for your advice and input on blogging! Sincerely, Kim Giffin

Those plastic goodies are so pretty. Hope you had a great garage sale and made lots of money for more thifty purchases to come.
