Estate Sale Finds-The Double Edition!

We're back! 

Hanna and I both had super fun weekends despite not being together.  I love going on vacation but after a few days, I really start to miss home and my routine.  Plus, I hit a pretty good sale before we left town so I was anxious to get back to go through everything I got.

This sale was advertised as an estate/moving sale and used the typical words "collectibles" "vintage" and all those other ones a lot of people use to lure you to their sale.  But, I figured I would take a chance since it was just right down the street from Maddie's school. 

The funny thing about this sale is that I picked up quite a few things that I already had.  But prices were so cheap that I had a hard time justifying leaving it all behind!

 
 
 

Tis the season for finding vintage linens!


I was just recently saying how I only have one tablecloth with purple in it and then I find this.  Almost a collection!


I have quite a few of these ice cube trays.  I always keep them filled and ready.  You just never know when the ice maker is going to run out of ice!  I have a pretty good collection going of these cute jars with the bunnies and chicks on them.  This one is already tucked away with my Easter goodies.  And I was absolutely thrilled to find another donkey Meyercord decal.  I used my last one on an old jar and have been on the hunt for another ever since.


Maddie already has this little skunk toothpick holder in her collection so I grabbed this one to use in my kitchen.  And I rarely pass up vintage platters.  I use them all the time.


The Horizon Blue 401 was the only Pyrex I found at the sale.  I also found another Fire King white swirl bowl.


Maddie has got me hooked on the Rand McNally Junior Elf Books.  They are so cute.  She immediately informed me that she already had Surprise in the Barnyard.  How does she remember that?!  I recently purchased No-Good the Dancing Donkey at a show in Portland but for a quarter, I had to grab this copy too.


So normally, Hanna is the one who gravitates toward the hat boxes but I picked up these two because I figured they'd make really good storage.


I found these donkey shakers a while back but immediately put them in my donkey display without photographing them first.  They are joined by my newest Pixie friend from Thursdays sale.

Not a bad haul and now I am getting even more excited for the season to start!

Linking up with Sir Thrift-A-Lot for Thriftasaurus & We Call it Junkin' for History and Home.

Have a great week!

  11. I love all the linen. I've sold all mine and so need to find a great estate sale. It's been awhile. The pyrex is great too. Have fun and hope you'll visit sometime.

  12. I have a question for you. I just found your blog from a picture on pinterest and see lots of goodies I love. You posted something about selling things on instagram. How does that work I have an account but have never heard of selling things? I have went back through the archives and see a few treasures I would love to inquire about if you are selling them. Thanks Brenda
