I left for a few hours this morning with Auntie to "play" (what we call hitting some sales). The first one we went to was an estate sale about a half an hour away. We got there 3 minutes after it opened and had to wait outside (it was a tiny house) for about a half an hour before we got in.
I LOVE to people watch! Do you? While we were waiting in line, I was curiously scoping out the other people around me-hopefully no one noticed, because I was still chatting with Auntie and trying not to look obvious.
There was one couple in line ahead of us that brought their English bulldog puppy...who brings a dog to an estate sale??? It was a really cute puppy, and free entertainment while we waited in line.
Once we got in, we headed straight for the kitchen, then the linen closet! I found a pretty tablecloth with some fresh stains that didn't even require a soak in Biz-just a quick wash in the washer did the trick. It's my first turquoise/aqua cloth. I also picked up a little half pint milk bottle for a quarter. Auntie got some great treasures-check out her blog to see what she picked up.
After that, we hit a lot of frogs on the way home. At one, I picked up two old dish towels and the lady said "a quarter each", so I bought them and kept one and gave one to Auntie. The last sale we stopped at, was a barn sale that I've been to before, but they had a LOT of new
Here are today's treasures...
This is the little 5 cent glass...it's in the trash now.
A cute little half pint bottle-unmarked.
A $5 tablecloth-all clean and drying in the breeze.
One of 2 dish towels that were a quarter each!
Now I need to go clean up a big mess...I started some pasta boiling and got so busy telling you about my day, I forgot about it until Adam asked "Who's burning the noodles?" I guess I'm not as good at multi-tasking as I thought!
Have a great weekend!!!
