I wasn't holding out a ton of hope for estate sales this weekend as it is a holiday weekend and from past experience they are few and far between. I did manage a couple today and found a few goodies tho.
Some floral tins (destined for studio storage), old unopened pipe cleaner package, green measuring tape, jingle bells, some old mini owl figurines, wooden doll heads for crafting, a couple of old glass refrigerator storage containers (more studio storage), a vintage jewelry box and a great light up Santa.
I did better than I thought I would. I also worked a stop at the u-pick dahlia place into my route...thus the glorious dahlia bouquets...I love summer.
By the way did you notice the new banner? I upgraded my typepad level so now I can have more design choices. My daughter Kate (thank goodness for teens who are computer savvy) tweaked the old fruit label that Kim from Camp Whimsy sent me. I spelled Ethel out with old Anagram game letters. We are still playing around with the banner...but hey it is a start!
Have a safe labor day weekend.
Your banner looks great Laurie! Aren't kids amazing, they pick up computer stuff so easily.
Fun finds too!

Great job on the banner! It took me forever....I needed your Kate:)
Lovely finds. I never got a chance to get out this weekend. I forced myself to focus. That is boring, but much more logical. I hate logic. Happy Sunday!
