Chris and I finally attended an estate sale last weekend.
With the extreme winter weather, there just haven't been many in our area.
This one was held in a farm house and all the items were half off.
I always gravitate to the toys and holiday items.
These framed pictures were one of my favorite finds.
I've already hung the beach print in our beach-themed bath/laundry room. I think we're all dreaming of playing in warm sand right now.
Of course, a knee-hugger witch and a few Halloween floral picks also needed to be rescued.
My second favorite find were the hard cover books.
I remember reading the Funny Bunny and the Golden Egg book.
Although blogger has decided to turn the pictures sideways, the graphics are absolutely wonderful and perfect for Easter spring-time crafting!
The Easter candy is scary old, but I might use the bunnies for crafting. Aren't the egg cups fun?
We're almost through the end of the work week. I did ease back into my job from medical leave working partial days this week. A few tests results came back that explain why I haven't been feeling super duper. I'm used to running 100 miles an hour (with energy to spare) and I'm just not there yet. A couple more tests are scheduled and then hopefully, I can be done with doctors for a while. I will say, it's been good to be back at work thinking about different things. Happy soon-to-be weekend!
Lovin' the knee-hugger witch! Looks like you found a fun sale. Take care and happy (almost) weekend:@)
ReplyDeleteIt look likes this trip was worth the wait. A very nice assortment of treasures.
ReplyDeleteYOu found some fantastic things, Kim. Wow- I love those little doll clothes! I have that Golden Egg book from when my kids were little. Now their kids read it. You got some GREAT stuff, girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing okay. xo Diana
I am so happy you got to go to a sale! And what a great one! I love the egg cups and I love the knee hugger witch, I have one but mine is different. Also, one of my favorite Halloween decorations has the exact same face as the the pumpkin fellow whose head is up against the knee hugger witch in your photo. My guy has the exact same eyes and he is sitting on a pumpkin!How special that you found these. I hope you are 100% feeling well again. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! How did I miss out on that one?
ReplyDeleteGlad you are seeing your doctor to address any issues. Take care of yourself!
Well even if you are not quite up to speed, a decent estate sale can only HELP LIFT YOUR SPIRITS! Good finds! The Easter stuff is awesome (don't eat the candy..just saying)

Good stuff!!! I'm attending my first estate sale in 6 months this morning and I CAN NOT WAIT!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to shop vicariously through other people...I haven't seen an estate sale around here forever! I am amazed that people still have all those vintage things. I was looking around my own house recently and wondered what kind of estate sale my kids were going to have with my treasures. =D
ReplyDeleteOoooh - you found some great items! Love how creative you are! Take it easy this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think you found some great treasures!!! I went today and found just a few things :( Can't wait until garage sale season!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will feel 100% soon!

ReplyDeleteWhat great, fun things. Happy to hear that you are feeling a bit better.
ReplyDeleteHurrah for you, Kim! You found some real treasures! I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend. Hopefully you will have some time to craft and rest. It feels like we might be turning the corner here in Ohio and getting closer to spring.
ReplyDeleteWow!! What great finds!! Love the sweet Easter bunnies and egg holders, those would be fun to craft with! Such a wonderful group of goodies you got, and can't beat the price! :)
ReplyDeleteKim I LOVE absolutely all your treasures you found. The little doll clothes are so sweet as are the children's books and the valentine candy boxes are great too. I'm so happy that you were able to get to a decent sale to help perk up your junkin spirits.

Oh, you are so lucky, lucky to have sales like that around you! What great finds! That Santa is a Harold Gale, which can be worth quite a bit!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better these days!
