I did find some stuff this weekend but it was not gangbusters. Funny how it varies from one weekend to the next with good sales and mediocre. I sure wish it was weekend after weekend of amazing sales.
This is what I did find. One sale Friday and three on Saturday.
I found the whole box of dollhouse furniture on Friday. I also got the vintage suitcase for $1. The suitcase is going to be an end table in my family room.
The Friday estate sale was that of an elephant collector.
This photo is from Instagram. For the life of me I can't figure out where I stuck this elephant. It is hard to lose and elephant.
My only holiday was this advent calendar.
A big shell planter, a tiny jug and two silly snails. It is hard to pass up a snail with a bow.
Some handmade cozies and a bunny for Easter crafting.
I always like this vintage game box for Hearts. Perfect for Valentine display. The Valentine card with the gal in the heart patterned swim suit was too cute to pass up.
Not bad, not great. Another weekend in estate sale land.
Love the suitcase, of course! Too funny that you lost an elephant but I can see how it might happen with all those collections. I only made it to thrifts and Nina and Joe's this weekend but still got my junk fix.

That suitcase is going to be so cute as a table, you have to share when its done. Those shells will be great in your beach house :)

The missing elephant is so cute! I only snagged a large liddled glass apothecary jar (?future terrarium) and another item at a sale. Nothing was priced, buyer gave whatever they wanted and the profits were going to a school in Zambia. I probably overpaid but it was for a good cause.

My mom and sister got introduced to your Instagram account yesterday. Neat stuff. I'm especially smitten with that dollhouse furniture.

I didn't hit any sales on Friday and hadn't planned on going to any yesterday but ended up at a parking lot flea market and a few country sales. Got some great stuff! I love it when sales find me.
Lucky for me, I don't love closer to you. Then the mystery of the missing elephant may not be so hard to solve :-)

I guess they can't all be awesome. An old suitcase for $1 is good and it's a super cute one. I love the valentine. I have that same tiny jug in yellow. Hope you find the elephant.

We had a Seaside vacation in July and our bedroom had a stack of old suitcases made into an end table. The top case had a piece of glass perfectly cut, for a nice surface. It was a charming beach house touch.

The doll furniture would have made me very happy!

Love that suitcase and for only a buck? That makes it even better! Love the little snail with the bow too! The card and hearts box was a find. That would great in a Valentine display! Did you find your little elephant?

At least you got something! :)

Your not-gangbusters sales look pretty good to me but then again I don't have your magic touch when it comes to estate sales. Those little snails are pretty dang cute!
