Saturday morning found me bright and early dropping off my daughter for a volleyball tournament. I had free time after the drop off and had signed up for a promising sale the day before..number 32 on the list and ended up getting in the door right away.
And voila, here are my finds...
A couple of vintage boxes with adorable graphics (for my personal collection), great green sugar container (it even came with old caked on sugar - blech!), a couple of tiny metal floral frogs and two unopened packs of place cards.
A couple of handmade chicken wire bells, some vintage yellow millinery, old greeting cards and a flower catalog from 1958,
This insert was inside the catalog. It is BIG with beautiful bright flower graphics!
Double sided to boot!
The two chicken wire bells that I bought were added to this little collection. They hang year round below my ceiling fan out in my studio.
This red one is my favorite. It is BIG. About 15 inches tall and really embellished with old glass balls and big red sequins. I love this collection and I don't find the bells too often.
Happy day!
Ohhh cmonnnnn...again you are killing me with all this fun stuff!! LOVE those bells!!! I had a pink one, that I LOOVED ..and some how, it was stolen from our store! I had it in a holiday display. So stinky!

I ran across your blog and found instant joy. You find the most fabulous stuff at estate sales. Are they family run or company run? 99% of the ones in my area are run by companies and just way expensive.
I have you bookmarked and have subscribed so I can't wait for your next estate sale adventure.
