I am so insanely busy crafting for my holiday shows that I need to force myself to stop and take breaka. My break today was ONE estate sale. I got there early, waited in line and was rewarded.
The NOEL is a rug. I also got two unopened rolls of old wrapping paper in green and pink metallic.
I bought two plastic bins of craft supplies. I could tell there was quite a bit that would go to the Goodwill pile. I gambled on the contents.
I bought this great metal green silverware tray. It holds what I salvaged from the craft bins.
These sweet greeting cards were in the crafting boxes as well. There are about 20 of the one design. I also found reflectors.
There were lots of boxes of old unused greeting cards. I am excited to sit down and sort through them. I love the boxes they came in too.
There were some sweet old unused postcards. 
I also got a good stash of old wrapping paper. Always a winner in my world.
The estate sale had tons of stuff saved in the original packaging. I have a bunch of vintage gardening stuff and liked the twist ties. The Halloween candle has some wear, but I don't have that one.
Love the clothespins in the original packaging as well. I picked up quite a few of those folding rulers. The tiny deer is a candle.
A couple of holiday candleholders, two whisk brooms and a sweet little holiday box.
Not a bad estate sale. Then I went home to craft.
I'm having serious estate sale withdrawal. I always love living through you though! I can't believe the volume of unused cards! Fantastic as always, Laurie! By the way, I have that pumpkin candle that you rescued. I think his melted wax, gives him some character.

I have never been to an estate sale that had the treasures you consistently find. It's really fun to see what you have gathered together. But, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you make this year for your shows.

Great finds as always. I love a good old stash of greeting cards. That Black Americana one is darling - I collect those, but never really mention it since there is such an astigmatism towards that sort of stuff. I love the cutlery tray full of goodies too. :)

How cute is that his and hers box! so I was just thinking about all the stuff you have. do you remember that you have it all? lol! I always forget what I have and I have only a tiny fraction of what you have. so when I get stuff out to craft Im often thinking.. OH.. how cute this is.. I didn't know I had that! I do have a crappy memory though. Have fun creating Laurie!

I am with Patti, I never find the awesome stuff you find! It is so fun to see your newest discoveries! Down here in the Bay Area, there aren't many "old" estate sales, so much of them is new stuff. I got lucky once and scored three aluminum trees for $10!! Love to read your blog.

Definitely not bad at all. I like to gamble with large craft bins sometimes. Sometimes you're rewarded, sometimes you're not!

Wonderful finds. It is important to take breaks. I imagine your rooms are slowly filling up with creations. I love those cards, especially the little girl that's "going to town."

Geez what a great crafting score! Love the green utensil tray and the card boxes with cards.....that was an extra along with the wrapping paper!
I'm running out of words to use on your finds lately :-)
