I HAD to return to the estate sale that I hit Friday afternoon. I could not go Saturday, but was happy to hit it for half price today. I was pleasantly surprised to find a TON OF GOOD STUFF left!
It missed a bunch of stuff on Friday. This sale was really crowded with stuff. I thought it odd I did not find any glitter before..today it was waiting for me.
The laundry room door was closed on Friday and I thought had a do not enter sign on it. Today it was open and this pair of vintage Easter eggs were waiting for me...at fifty cents each. The one is missing a piece, but you know me and repairs. They are both marked on the bottom "Made in US Zone Germany". The one with the rabbit I believe is a candy container.
2 boxes of small ornaments with original tissue sleeve. I also bought three bins of old buttons, beads and jewelery pieces,
There were quite a few vintage cards. I asked about pricing and the woman told me to fill a bin for one price. I wasted no time doing just that. A huge assortment
Note the darling dog tally card. The indian card has a little metal clip with the original nickle price tag attached.
This entire box of cards dates to the 1930s for the most part.
Vintage Christmas, leprechaun hats and baby toys.
A few fourth of July crafting goodies and some old black and orange badges that will probably resurface at Halloween.
A couple of hours on a Sunday morning yodelling while I worked. My kind of lazy morning. Happy day!
I know the woman whose "stuff" this was is thrilled that you have adopted so much of it & are giving it a good home. What a sale!

Unreal. That would never ever happen around here. Candy Containers on day #3...for .50 each??? That blue egg is going to be so much fun to do your magic with!
This was one for the record books, right?

I went AHHHHH when I saw the pink egg with the opening for the rabbit~best egg ever! All was meant for you to have-that's my philosophy-if it is meant to have it......it will be there waiting. Never rush-never sweat-never angst on what I didn't get. So glad for you that it was all meant for you :D

You crack me up! If I went to that sale I would have probably over looked most of that stuff.. but you make it all look so appealing! I would love to play in that case full of beads though!
have fun with all those treasures!

Jeez. That sale must have been super packed if you missed all those goodies, especially with your radar! Love the sweet colorful buttons and those blue and white ball thingies. Can't wait to see how you use those with your 4th of July crafting.

Thanks so much for all your kind comments. I am so glad you had such a good time at our sale. It was fun to see your pics with all the stuff I recognized. I will look forward to seeing you again someday at another sale.

Oh, Ethel. You live under a magical estate sale star. :)

Hello! I was in line behind you that day, but forgot to introduce myself! I saw you months ago at a different estate sale, but you looked like you were on a mission (had that hunting for something look in your eye), so I didn't want to bother you!! Hope to run into you again sometime. Love your blog!
Posted by: Sarah | May 08, 2014 at 09:19 PM
Wow! I can't get over hoe lucky you are - those Easter eggs (especially the one with the rabbit) are incredible!
