On Thursday I signed up for a sale that started today. I was number 34 to get in. The sale sounded very promising and the house looked quite full when I signed up on the list.
I was pretty excited about the sale...so excited that last night I had a DREAM about it. It was a fantastic dream full of treasures and good finds. When I woke up this morning I as really in a good mood and eager to hit the sale.
I got in the door right away...let me just say that DREAMS do come true.
My car was packed to the gills. I was there digging for about three hours...my favorite way to spend the day. Post coming soon on my finds...I was running out of daylight and time today to take photos!
Hoping for some sweet dreams again tonight...
Love all your treasures!!

It's AMAZING how much Christmas stuff you find, even AFTER Christmas. That's one thing I don't find much of around here too often.
Did I ever tell you I had a bad dream about you?! You had opened your own warehouse, full of all the things you bought. But, when I tried to buy something, you accused me of trying to steal your stuff! hahaha!

I keep having to remind myself of the 10 Commandments because right now I'm coveting that red ring thingy!!

Oh my...that green cabinet. Metal is a weakness. Blue decal box. I see tin. Its like a magical vintage I Spy. I think I will try to dream about this tonight. How much fun is this. We are headed to Arkansas to fly fish this week and I've mapped out the flea markets! Wish me luck. Thanks for sharing this is so much fun!...Smiles...Renee

Maybe that is my problem...I don't dream big enough! I am happy for you that all your dreams came true. Sales like this are what makes us keep going back.
Congratulations!

I have to add that I am a little jealous of the green grass in your pictures too. Who knows when spring will show up around here. We get teased with it and then snow moves back in.....longest winter ever!

I Spy With my little eye....drinking straws, Happy Birthday napkins, what appears to be an entire BAG of tablecloths *sigh*, mini tart pans, vintage wrapping paper and so many pastel metal things that I want to cry! You have the luck, my friend!

well, I'm glad that not all dreams come true but this was a good one. I guess I'll have to start checking out the E sales again. Give you a little competition. Ha
I glad you found so much great stuff. Can't wait to see up-close details. I can just picture all your fans trying to figure out what that is peeking out of the box...

I'd love to know more about how you managed to buy all that without other buyers trying to buy it too - looks like a little too much to carry around ... maybe you carry 'Sold! to Ethel' post-it notes in your pocket? :-)

Holy happy stuff! Looks like you did great. Can't wait to see more.

I think the sweetest part of those photos is the grass... I am definitely 'green with envy'!! What grass we do have showing is a horrible brown 'yuck' color!!!

That looks like a fabulous one! Jackpot!!
