I hit an 50% off estate sale on my way to work Tuesday morning. I was literally in and out in less than 15 minutes. My cell phone snapped a few shots of my stash.
A small box of vintage Christmas ornaments and handmade stockings were rescued.
Even more exciting was the box of strombecker dollhouse furniture that was waiting for me in the upstairs bedroom.
Here's a better shot of the furniture once I got home.
Yep. Definitely better than a morning cup of coffee. It was a great way to start my day.

I rarely see dollhouses or dollhouse funiture at sales...I saw one this last weekend and as I got closer realized it was plastic! And new! Not what I was looking for. You sure did hit the jackpot at this estate sale! I love the felted Christmas stockings!
Oh my word! That furniture is fabulous! Great find!
You got to do this on your way to work?! Talk about luck and great timing!!

Woo-Hoo! Aren't you glad you got an early start to work? Great finds, can't believe you found that excellent dollhouse furniture, it had your name on it!
Oh my gosh, look at all that wonderful doll furniture! So glad it found it's way to your house where it will be loved.
Love the furniture~lucky day for you!
I always enjoy your posts....but I need to stay away from those estate sales. Must not bring more stuff home...Ha!
So, so cute! Love the Christmas stuff, too! I'm going to an estate sale tomorrow with vintage toys, but I think it's more action figures, etc. But I hope there'll be something for me!
What a delightful way to start your day! You were really fortunate!

What a great sale, Kim. Can you believe that box of doll house furniture? WHAT a find!!!! xo Diana
You are a lucky duck! The good dollhouse fairy was smiling at you this morning! No better way to start the day...except for maybe an ice cold Diet Coke! =D
Perfect way to start the day! I would still want a cup of coffee to go along with this start..but this score would certainly give me a happy wake up call!
Oh Yeah!! An unplanned quick sale is the best way to start the day. That was some garage sale feng shui.

Ack! That furniture!
Wow, what a happy find!! Enjoy playing with it!!

Oh my!!!! I wish my mornings started like that - what amazing finds, I don't have any estate sales on my office commute :( I can't wait to see all these little goodies in Kim K vignettes.
PS I was thinking of you today, when I read about this new craft book. It looks very interesting.
