An Estate Sale To Remember Holiday Edition

Hi Everyone!

I'm actually sitting at Sister's kitchen table in Astoria right now as I write this blog.  Miss Maddie, Bullet, and I headed here for the weekend while Brian & Alex are in Las Vegas for the Pac-12 Basketball Tournament.  Normally, I would be really jealous that they were in Vegas without me but I'm with my Sister which is where I'd much rather be!

We had a long day of thrifting.  I didn't get too much but Sister went a little wild.  I'm sure she will be sharing all of her treasures with you soon.  But for now, I am going to show you all of my fabulous holiday finds from "An Estate Sale To Remember".

Vintage Valentines in a 50 cent grab bag.

Holiday die- cuts for a dime apiece.

The two top honeycombs were a quarter apiece and the gaggle of turkeys were in the original packaging for 50 cents.

This is a reproduction but I have an original paper mache pumpkin that this will look really good
with.

So what do you do when you find 5 Empire candy buckets for 50 cents apiece?  You buy them all obviously!

50 cent Halloween grab bag

 

I bought this book because it was from the year I was born, 1976.

I bought this bag of Easter stuff just to get the Millinery flower egg.

I'm not really sure if this pillow is old or a reproduction but I still had to have it.

Old squeaky toys for a quarter apiece.  Maddie thinks they are dog toys.  You be the judge!

These old plastic candy containers look like they could use some Magpie Ethel Magic!

Gurley candles in a 50 cent grab bag.  Does anyone know the age of the flat snowmen?  They are marked Gurley but I have never seen them before.

Love this bag of bells, especially the old pink one.

This random bag of ornaments was 50 cents and good for wreath making.

I remember when I was decorating my tree last year and I was hanging my lone pine cone ornament I was thinking I needed to find more.  I think these will do the job!

I found a random bag of birds.  I LOVE the glittery goose.

No vintage holiday haul is complete without a couple of spun heads in glittery slippers!

I actually picked up a bag of these carolers and bells at SVDP last holiday season.  I was happy to find more to add to the bunch.

I really don't remember picking these up but they ended up in my bag.  I remember my Grandma Gloria used to have the bubble lights on her tree.  Now they are considered a major fire hazard!

These old stockings have the original Woolworths price tags on them!  I think the tags say 5 cents apiece.  I paid a dime apiece. 

I got all of this stuff in another 50 cent grab bag.  I am pretty sure that I will never come across these kind of prices again.

4 packages of NOS sequins for crafting. 

Who am I to pass up Golden Books, especially when they are a dime apiece?

I am so loving this bird feeder.  What an amazing way to repurpose vintage dishes!  The top part is a snack sever tray, then a canning jar, then a chicken feeder, then a dessert dish.  Add a cute little Pixie on the top and you are good to go!  Sister and I have big plans to try and make our own this Summer.

Wow, this post is definitely the most picture heavy post that I have ever done.  I hope you all enjoyed it!
