It is very exciting to be number one at an estate sale. It is more exciting if the sale looks like a doozy. Unfortunately I was number one at a sale I was only moderately interested in...it was around the corner from me, so very convenient and there were not alot of sales this weekend. Still one is one and I got in the door first.
It was actually better than I thought it would be. I have been collecting heart shaped baking pans in preparation for a Valentine display. I got two today.
A couple of vintage tins (note the balanced meal sandwich graphic on the bottom one), and a container of glitter. I know, i know, I need more glitter like I need a hole in my head.
Vintage noisemaker with cute little gal graphics in shorts and top hats.
Mint in package bridge tally cards.
Put out by the 4-H club, this vintage cookbook with a Halloween Theme could not have been a better timed purchase. I don't find a date on it, but it looks to be 60s or 70s.
And last but not least a vintage paint box for this collection.
I overlooked the messy interior of the paint box, and was sold on the cover graphics. Written in the center of the star - Happiness on every page.
And you know I like happy. Happy Day!
You're always number one in my book! :-) How thrilling though to be first in the door and I'm happy to see you found some happiness there as well. We're all happy!

Sweet Jiminey Cricket....those tally cards are gorgeous. Found one of those glitter containers just the other day and passed on it as I thought I was sure to not need that much ever? Number one for sure...smiles....Renee

Being number one is even better if you are not standing long in cold or wind or rain or (gasp) snow. Sales have diminished greatly around me but next week is a gimongous church sale and a first time wealthy resort sell-off. (Like a hotel estate sale.)

Our sales around here are first in line gets to get in first. Sometimes when I get off work in the morning if I am not too tired I will go and get in line. I have never been first (man, these people get up EARLY) but have been 3rd. Always fun to be close to the front. I just bought a whole stack of those heart shaped pans. Let me know if you want them and I will add to your package (that I promise is going out tomorrow!)

First of all, you can never have to much glitter as far as I'm concerned! Gotta' have that sparkle!
Secondly, I can't wait to see your valentine display using those heart shaped cake pans! I bet it will be super cute!
Hugs,
Jill
