YIPPEE!
A friend of mine had her grandmother move into a retirement home and I was asked to help get her belonging ready for an estate sale. While we sorted and priced I put aside a small pile of goodies that I wanted to purchase.
Instead of paying for the items this was given to me for my time and efforts. That is my kind of payday...vintage style!
Definitely the type of paycheck I don't mind receiving occasionally!
happy day!
So nice of you to help a friend!! With all of your experience in estate sale shoppin you have a good idea of how to price things! Don't you love to barter?

That's the best payday ever! Looks like you found some really fun "Ethel-style" goodies. Super cute!
Hugs,

Ohhhh...nice! Nothing like first dibs too!

It was so kind of you to help them and getting paid in hard to find treasures is way better than cash or a good meal out.

I got a similar payday for helping clean out my great aunts house when we moved her to a nursing home. It's nice when you don't expect something and get little goodies! :) Happy day, indeed.

"Will work for tinsel!" I can see you now sitting on the curb with this sign around your neck. :-)
One more day of school and then I can thrift until the cows come home! Woo hoo!

Definitely a perfect kind of payday. Good for you. That Yippee party hat is just fabulous. I found a vintage little cowgirl vest at an antique store a week ago for $5. My mother is going to embellish it further and give it to Josie for her upcoming 6th birthday. Yippee for recycling/thrifting!

Love that party hat. Yippee! kind of sums you up. Maybe you should wear it to your next show! 8+)

I've always thought it would be fun to help set up for a sale - I could be wrong, however. The pay looks very fun, though!

Great vintage treasures and great eye candy for the rest of us :) I would love to be paid in vintage!

I would rather get paid in vintage goodies too! Lucky you.
Hope you have good sales this weekend too :-)
