I headed out this morning to go hit a promising estate sale. I was #8 to get in. Like yesterday, was not a bad sale and have been smiling for a second day in a row!
A great old pink Easter bunny with topsy turvy whiskers and a vintage jewelery box.
A cute little old Easter chick.
A bunch of paper honeycomb eggs, vintage Christmas ornaments, two small bouquets of flowers for crafting and some tiny plastic whistles.
Vintage rattle shaped pink and cream ornaments that remind me of Valentines day and some hot pink foil reflectors that I use for crafts (and have not seen this color before).
Some vintage dance cards from the 1930's that have awesome tiny pencils attached to them.
And finally, this poor little spun head bunny. Buried in the depths of some mediocre modern Easter decorations...he will spend a bit of time in my studio and be blessed with a whole new look...this is one lucky bunny.
He will be grinning along with me soon! Hope your weekend brought you something to smile about...
What a lovely way to start my morning. You scored BIG time. We have another snow/ice storm headed our way, but I'm digging out the pastels in my craft room. I'm ready to start decorating for Easter.
Happy Sunday!

I can see your Estate Sale Smile all the way from Ohio! It brightens up my day for sure! Looking forward to St. Pat's day in the shop. I think it is the only Laurie holiday I haven't got covered yet! Elizabeth

Oh Laurie, just in time for Easter...I have my mom's dance book with the tiny pencil in turquoise. So sweet. I am so glad you are back to finding treasures and that we can share in your hunts on Etsy now...Smiles..Renee

Cute! I've been finding lots of Easter, but not vintage!

That pink bunny tugs at your heart, doesn't he? So sweet. Great find!
I am so ready for a good digger sale! :D

You really did have a super weekend! That pink bunny needed a good home. And the spun head bunny needs some ears, but I like it's expression.

I DO NOT KNOW why I have such a soft spot for those jewelry boxes. And it looks to be navy blue which I have not seen before. Big sigh. A good estate sale weekend for sure! I did not have the same luck. I did not see any listed that were nearby then the husband and I left the house late yesterday to do some errands and there was one right around the corner from my house. Apparently it was Saturday only because there is no sign of it today. Have these people not heard of Craigslist and EstateSale-Finder for crying out loud!

You found better things than I did this weekend...it's still the thrill of the hunt!
I'm glad to hear that you will be making the little bunny "pretty"..or "handsome".

All of these estate sale goodies have got me smiling too! Love that pink bunny, and everything in the previous post. Any day now there should be an estate sale to go to here. I can't wait!

Gasp. All of a sudden the memory of those old upright stuffed bunnies with wired ears that I had as a child... comes flooding back. I had forgotten all about them until just now.
