Last year our glass patio table was shattered by too much pressure from the umbrella. I posted about it in this post in case you missed it. We spent the rest of the summer with just a couple of little side tables. This year I bought a new, smaller metal table that fits the space so much better and won't break!
I bought new cushions for the chairs and cleaned up our umbrella. It was pretty dirty after sitting in our shed without a cover for a year. I took the cover off and put it in the washing machine. It came out really nice! Now our little deck is a comfy place to sit once again!
Friday I was off work so I drove to the local park for my morning walk.
It is a very pretty place to walk and a little hilly so it's a good work out!
After my walk I happened upon an estate sale sign so of course I had to go to it!
This is the house.
It was not for sale but Zillow estimated its value at $575,000. You'll see why in a minute.
Outdated of course but not too bad. I liked the peninsula with the stools around it.
Here's the view out the window above.
This is why the value is so high. It's on a lake! I knew there was a lake in this area I just wasn't sure exactly where. You can't see it from the road.
Anyway, besides the view the house wasn't anything special and the prices were ridiculously high!
I thought this sign was cute.
And I have to agree! I liked these wine glasses.
Not for $15 each though! There was this napkin dispenser.
Cute and I know CocaCola stuff is popular, but they were asking $30 for it!They were asking $10 so I passed!
I really liked these Christmas candles.
Not for $20 for the set though! See what's underneath? That's right, Longaberger baskets! I hit the mother lode of them at this sale!
There was every kind and size of basket you could ask for! They ranged in price from $50 for the smallest one up to $500! They were all in beautiful shape, but don't they know that Longaberger baskets are a dime a dozen at estate sales this year?
I almost told the people running the estate sale that the prices were way to high!
Of course, I didn't buy anything at this one!
I was happy enough just to enjoy the beautiful view! Wouldn't it be nice to have your morning coffee on this deck?
Two days later I went back to the same sale because it was the last day and everything was 75% off (except the Longaberger baskets..they were 60% off). I ended up buying this pretty silver picture frame that was marked $2.
And the welcome sign was still available, so I grabbed it.
The candles above were still there and were now $5 for the set but I noticed a chip in one of them that I didn't see before so I passed.
Total spent: $3. Now that's more like it!!
Our Memorial weekend was nice. We both worked some of the days but managed to spend quality grandson time and attend a few barbeques!
I hope your weekend was filled with family, friends and good food!
Thanks for stopping by! See you the next time!
