I hit two sales on Friday. One was run by an estate sale company and the other was a family run sale a few blocks away. It was nice to hit two sales...bang, bang...and be done!
I got two floral curtain panels, a glass fishbowl (now I have three), a floral wallpaper remnant, and lots of littles. One of my favorite finds was a Cath Kidston toiletry bag for $1!
It was a good day for Gurley candles.
An old lunchbox with a darling corsage design, a fun clip on lightbulb cover, candle clips and a sweet little bird figure.
I always have to rummage around the workshop. I was rewarded with some funny luncheon meat cans. They were full of nails when I bought them.
The orange rack will be perfect for my beach house. (Yes, we bought a beach house. For those of you that don't follow me on IG that news is new to you. I AM SO EXCITED and will get a blog post up on it soon.) I think the rack was intended to hold fan belts. I am decorating one room in gray and orange so this rack will fit right in.
I never ever pass up old ribbon spools with the great graphics. I use these as bases for my spun head crafting and I have gone through hundreds of these spools.
There were lots of little ceramic figures at the sale. The little christmas gals have hair.
I got a whole pile of baby hangers. The little cutout designs on these! They just don't make them this darling anymore.
Two little ceramic lambs. The one embellished with pearls is crazy.
A pair of whisk brooms. Note the mushroom growing out of the top of one. So nice to stay on one road for the sales. Thank you for the vintage goodies Malden Street.
The vintage lover in me loves those old meat tins, but the vegetarian in me says YUCK. I bought a big handful of those hangers last week too. They are just too cute to leave! I am excited about your #somedaybeachhouse and all the decorating possibilities! Maybe you can be the new Joanna and Chip Gaines and rent it out to all us blog fans. I'd plan a trip!

Cannot wait to see the tour of the beach house. The after will be even better!

As usual, wonderfully fabulous finds! I collect those little baby hangers, too - and have a hard time finding them.

Great finds, especially the birdie and that wisk broom with the mushroom handle. I can't wait to see more pictures of the beach house! Amazing that it is so move-in ready.

Nice haul on one street. In and out is nice. You found lots of great stuff too. My favorite is that rack! I am intrigued by your orange and gray room too!

I always check the garage for cool cans and canisters! I once found a super rare set of Lustro Ware canisters holding nails in a garage at an estate sale. You just never know!
