Estate Sale Friday...Winding Down

It really is funny how seasonal estate sales are. Once Labor Day hits they really wind down.  These finds are from last weekend (and not shared due to my computer craziness).  This weekend I pretty much hit nothing in estate sale land.

The metal saucer/sled I spotted in the rafters of a garage and had the estate sale company haul it down for me. I think it will be re-purposed into a holiday decoration (if you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my plan for it).

The terrarium/aquarium I bought due to its unusual size. It is really long and skinny. I think it may be part of my Halloween decor this year.

A wee bit of vintage Christmas. I always grab mercury glass garland when I find it and this is a great chartreuse green color. Some angel tags, a figural Santa Christmas light and a lone bubble light round out my Christmas finds.A knee hugger and a fun little coin purse with winking eyes.

Some old party horns in original packaging and a crossword game with letter cards.  (I always buy games with letters)

Just in time for Halloween.
There was an old piece of oil cloth covering a couple of shelves at one of the estate sales.  I salvaged it due to the funny graphics.

What a crazy party...the coffee is "drunk" and the chicken is "stewed"


At least I found a few fun things.

Glad to be up and running again with the computer. I am still hobbling along on my old one and will be making the move to a new MAC soon. Hurray and happy day!

Happy to see your blog up and running :-) I tried making a comment earlier but either my computer messed up or I forgot to send it and it got deleted. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with that aquarium. I have some guesses so we'll have to wait and see. I see one of my elves found it's way up there again! He he he.
We hit a couple sales here today but they were just duds. They're winding down here now too.

It's getting to be pretty quiet down here too. I went to a few sales on Friday and did okay but you can tell it's just about over. People really don't want to be giving garage sales when there is college football on!

That tablecloth is amazing. I am almost positive it is the same one I saw at the last Palmer Wirfs show that the guy was asking $65 for!!

That oil cloth is a riot!! I pulled vintage wallpaper that was being used as shelf liner out of a closet last weekend. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

The oilcloth is a hoot and I love the coin purse. I hate that the sales are starting to wind down, it my entertainment.

Hang in there, computer! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for sales yet -- I recall some of my best finds were during October (she said wishfully). My chicken isn't stewed just yet... ;-)

So many great finds! I started going to estate sales after I saw the things that you have found...it's been a great encouragement to me. I have had to miss two really good ones the past two weekends but I will be in Round Top in a couple of days. I have my fingers crossed!!
