Estate Sale WOW

I recently went to an estate sale that was the cleanest and most organized one I have ever been too!

The estate sale company was called DuLayne Transitions. I had never heard of them before. 

Here's the house

It was not for sale yet but Zillow estimated it at $321,000. It needed much updating but it's in a desirable location so I see why it's worth so much. 

This was right when you walked in the door.

Great idea. Never saw that at an estate sale before! I did not take a basket. 

After that it didn't surprise me to see this. 

Most of the cupboards and doors were labeled with what was behind them! 

There was a ton of absolutely beautiful bowls and bakeware

Look at this muffin pan! $14

And these! $8-$14

I love the inside of this closet in one of the bedrooms.  

Just open the bifold doors and this is what you see! There were linens and towels on the shelves on either side. 

I thought this lamp was pretty. $150 

This mirror was interesting! $30

I liked these bowls with the handles. I just don't need anymore bowls! $6

If my parents were still alive, I would have bought them this. No price on it. 

They both went to Cooley High School in Detroit. 

The basement was full of Christmas stuff. 

These cloth bags came in various sizes! $8 per set

I loved this! $16

But I swore I would not buy any Christmas stuff so I passed! 

All the beauty stuff was arranged on two shelves!

I thought this was pretty funny! $22. 

I can't imagine giving that as a gift unless it was a joke gift! 

This dog portrait was beautiful! $10

I could have walked around a lot longer, but I had to go to work. 

Here's what I bought:

This small pot in brand new condition. 

A pillow form and a round template

And this wreath to replace the Christmas wreath on our shed door which had been there since November!

Total spent: $10

In other news, it's so nice to see the deer in the field next to work again! 

I did go to another estate sale the same day that wasn't nearly as exciting. I'll tell you about it the next time!

Until then take care and thanks for stopping by! 

Estate Sale

 This is the latest estate sale house that I went to. 

It was built in 1981. It wasn't currently for sale but Zillow estimated it's worth at $621,000. The house was very outdated and also very dusty inside!

This was the second day so everything was 30% off. 

Here's the kitchen. 

Not real big but the rest of the house was huge! Here is the family room/dining room.  

This was the master bedroom. 

Yes, that is the ceiling beam laying on the bed!  You can see above where it used to be!

Master bath.

Love the large sunken tub! Although it's hard to tell in the picture the bathroom had that shiny silver wallpaper! 

There were some interesting things. 

This kid-sized chair was so pretty! It was priced at $50. 

I thought this would be cute in a little boy's room. 

The sign says, "This is a set. Cowboy hat, saddle, chaps, vest, rope and fence" There was no price on it. 

This picture might be a little disturbing. 

This one even more so! 

They were asking $10 for each of them. 

This Givenchy perfume set was interesting.

It was priced at $60

There were a couple vintage kimonos. 

They were priced at $800! 

This hand painted cake plate was pretty but a little overly painted in my opinion! 

It was $25

This geometric design bowl was interesting. 

It was marked $15. See how dusty everything was?

I'm not sure what this was supposed to be. A pie plate? Serving dish? It was about the size of a dinner plate. 

It was priced at $20. I thought about buying it, but I don't really have a use for it. If bought everything that I liked or that caught my eye my house would be filled to the brim! 

I didn't buy anything at this sale. 

It was fun walking around it though! Hopefully the next sale I go to will have some great bargains!

In other news, today is our 49th anniversary. I actually have to work but we'll probably go somewhere nice for dinner on the weekend. 

Until the next time take care and thanks for stopping by! 

Phone Dump

It’s been a while since I did a phone dump. I have a few pictures to show so here we go. 

I took this screen shot off of a home movie because I wanted to show it to my friend Celia that lives in Florida 

We're both 10 years old and this is during a Camp Fire Girls ceremony. 

I recently got a new wall hanging for our front room. 

Before was this old picture from Home Interiors that I have had for years. 

New is this beautiful wall hanging from Hobby Lobby. I love the wrought iron

and wood look. 

This was my car in the parking lot at work last week during a very foggy night. 

Although I don't mind driving in fog that night was a little bit too foggy for me and I was nervous driving home. Mostly afraid a deer would run out in front of me! 

Normally we attend the 9:16 service at church but the Sunday the time changed we didn't get it together in time, so we went to the 11:16 service instead. 

It was a lot more crowded and the service was delayed for about 10 minutes while cars were still pouring into the parking lot when it was supposed to begin! I'm glad me and Rich always get there 15-20 minutes early!

And speaking of church today was communion Sunday. I wondered how they do communion because of the congregation being so big. 

As we walked in the door they gave us these little containers that looked like coffee cream containers. There was a small communion wafer on the top and then a little bit of grape juice inside. I thought it was pretty clever! 

I love our church! 

That's all for now. I'll be back in a few days with another estate sale to tell you about!

Until then take care and thanks for stopping by! 

And So It Begins!

Yes! Another estate sale season is upon us! I'm so excited and apparently half of Michigan is too because this next estate sale was crowded!!!

This is the house. Notice the line outside the door? There was no line when I arrived or I would not have gone to it. 

I don't do lines at estate sales. There is nothing I want or need worth standing in a line for, especially when it's cold outside! 

Anyway, the house was not for sale but Zillow estimated it at $780,000. No surprise there! 

This estate sale had so many clothes and shoes they were in every room!

See for yourself! 

Every closet and several big racks full of clothes! Most of them were high end like Talbots and Christopher Banks. A lot of them still had tags on them! They were so beautiful, but nothing was my size! 

Also, boxes and boxes of shoes! There must have been 200 pairs! Very nice shoes but also not my size! 

Probably a good thing because I would have spent a lot of money! 

Me thinks the lady of the house was a shopaholic! 

There was some other nice stuff, too. 

These were unusual candle holders.

The box they were in was very pretty!

There were quite a few pretty dishes. 

I thought this picture and teapot was pretty. 

The stripes reminded me of piano keys! 

There was a whole box of unopened cloth napkins. 

These are the only pictures I took of the inside of the house. 

I walked around for about 45 minutes, picked up then put down a few things then ended up buying this:

Three bath towels, 5 hand towels and a little card holder wallet.

Total spent: $10

I was happy to get the towels because they are really nice and we needed them! 

In other news 

My Thanksgiving cactus decided to bloom again

It only got three blooms but still glad to see them!

Until the next time take care and thanks for stopping by!
