It's been a very long winter with very few estate sales. On Saturday, Chris and I managed to visit three different sales late morning. It was day 2 at all the sales and everything was 50% off. My favorite house had pink shutters on the front porch. We walked out empty handed, but it was a part of the city that neither of us had visited before and we enjoyed the majestic old neighborhoods.
The next two homes I didn't take pictures of the exterior. They were 1970 style homes. Nothing too exciting and it was raining like crazy outside. I managed to find a few things to bring home with me.
A few bracelets.
Some holiday decorations.
A wind-up toy.
A 3-ring notebook with the neatest graphics on the cover.
Not sure what I'll use this for, but I couldn't leave it behind.
A few records to play in my craft room.
Including this darling hokey pokey record.
And a spring table cloth.
We were only gone a couple of hours, but I definitely got the estate sale bug. I'm certainly ready to do more estate sale snooping.

Love the binder! Are the graphics great? chris
I love it all. I haven't been to many estate sales lately-but this sure makes me want to go. I love the little Easter decs. I'm sure you'll come with something fabulous to use these things for!
The binder is very cool. Also like the toy and the pretty linen. I like the 2nd as most places sell the stuff at half off! Love my deals.
Warmly,
deb
Some good things there, Kim. We were too involved in other things this week-end to do any estate sale shopping, but that is something we have enjoyed in past years. This gives me some motivation to go again!

I just discovered your blog and am loving it. I am a new follower.
I've sure missed going to estate sales during this snowy winter. But I can't wait to get out there and see what I can find

Your bunny on the tricycle is just darling, Kim! And I love the pretty vintage tablecloth! I am looking forward to garage sale season, there is nothing like the thrill of the hunt!!
That hokey pokey record is adorable!!! Good estate sales are hard to come by around here-mostly cheesy 1980s beach house decor...! I wish I had better pickins!
Oh, what sweet finds!! Love those pink shutters, too!! Such a pretty tablecloth!! ;) xo Heather
I haven't been to an estate sale in a long time. I think Magpie Ethel has all the goodies at her house!! lol Can't wait for the flea markets! Love the hokey pokey record too!

I have never been to an estate sale, but want to badly! All great finds, I am particularly envious of that darling Santa ! The home with the pink shutters is lovely!
I haven't been to an estate sale for a long time but you really found some cute things. Great!
Love the Hokey Pokey record cover . . . making a few estate sales is my weekly goal . . . I went to one the other day and found another white ironstone pitcher. Such fun!
I love the vintage records! :-) Estate sales are great fun, and you never know what you will find.
You scored big time, Kim!!
Love the picture of the sweet little house!!
Hugs,
Deb
