Phone Photo Dump

 It's been a while since I did a photo dump so here we go in no particular order. 

I use these little notes to either tell Rich that I am gone for a walk or 

To remind myself to either transfer the clothes from the washer to the dryer or to turn the dryer back on because we never leave the house with it running. I use the same ones over and over again! I just take them out of the drawer to put on the counter and then put them back in the drawer when done! 

Rich and I early voted this year, and this is the sticker I picked out when we were done. 

I just love that it's just so Michigan! Especially the "no, yeah I voted" Also on the sticker is a Petoskey stone, gambling cards, hands shaping Michigan, superman ice cream cone, the Mackinaw Bridge, an old automobile, a coney dog and a Michigan left turn. 

I take terrible moon pictures but this moon the other night was so bright!

I like the way the cloud looks underneath it!

Our local Sandhill cranes came to visit. 

And they brought their baby, I think! 

I was playing around with ChatGPT and I asked it to dress us up in Victorian era clothes. 

I think we look pretty good! I love my dress! And Rich looks pretty dapper too!

Finally, when a resident at work is actively dying, or transitioning as they call it, they put these outside of their rooms. 

It's a jar with ribbons that represent our relationship with that resident. The act of tying the ribbon in a knot on the screen shows that you paused and thought of that resident and said goodbye. 

It's kind of bittersweet and I know the families appreciate seeing all the ribbons tied on there. 

I went to another estate sale that was pretty interesting. I'll be back in a few days to show it to you all!

Until then, take care and thanks for reading!

Finally! An affordable estate sale!

 I finally went to an estate sale that wasn't asking ridiculous prices for everything!

This is the house

It's not the best picture but the one online wasn't any better!

It's a 4 bed, 2 bath home that is 2,479 sq feet. It was not for sale, but Zillow estimated it at $399,200. 

There was a lot of nice things for sale. 

These bud vases were such an unusual shape and so pretty. 

They were $15 each. 

These bird houses were so cute! 

                                     

                                                       

                                               

They were $4 for the small one and $10 for the large ones. 

I thought this metal framed mirror was clever. 

You could make it look all sorts of ways with magnets! There was no price on it. 

This vintage lamp was interesting. 

I like the candle light on one end and the heart shape in the middle. $60

The Victorian house is actually a bird cage. I liked the table it was sitting on. 

The bird cage was $120 and the table was $40. Although the bird cage was interesting, I hope no one ever puts a poor bird in it! 

This basket was kind of cool.  

There was no price on it. 

I liked this jewelry box. 

It was priced at $20. Someone grabbed it right after I took this picture!

I almost bought this cute little crossbody purse. 

It was only $8. I already have 5 crossbody purses that I seldom use so I passed! 

This Princess House crystal set was pretty. 

It was $20 for the set. 

I liked this bathroom set. 

There was no price on it. A lot of things at this sale were not priced! 

This Christmas angel was very cute. 

It was $60 for the angel and the hanger. 

These Snowmen salt and pepper shakers were also cute. 

They were $10 for the set. 

I have seen a ton of Beanie Babies and Madame Alexander dolls at estate sales this year. 

Most of the Madame Alexander dolls were priced at $20 and the Beanie Babies were $10 each. 

These two sets of pretty dishes were both sold. 

This was $75. 

The top and middle shelves sold for $12 each and the bottom sold for $15. 

There was a ton of clothes and look at these prices! 

Now that's more like it! I spent a lot of time going through all the clothes which were my size for a change!

Here's what I bought at this sale. 

Two Tek Gear short sleeved shirts. 

Three long sleeved shirts. The white one is LL Bean, 

And the find I was most excited about was this fleece jacket. 

I normally don't like fleece, but I could not resist this jacket. That N is for Northridge and that is our church!  I was pretty excited to find this and in my size!

Total spent: $10. 

The total of all the things I bought came to $17. The line at the checkout table was really long and the lady at the table was overwhelmed. By the time I got up there and put my pile down on the table she barely looked at it and said $10! I handed her a $10 bill and out the door I went! 

This was a great sale!

I have a lot of pictures on my phone so I will be back soon with another photo dump!

Until then take care and thanks for reading! 

Estate Sale 3 of 3

 

Before I get started on the 3rd estate sale I want to note that I have started replying to comments on this blog. If you care to come back and check or not! 

The third estate sale was at this house

This pic is from the internet because I did not take a good one when I was there. It's a 4 bed, 2 bath, 1,764 sq foot colonial that was for sale for $358,200. 

There were some nice things. 

This mirrored tray was so unique and pretty. 

It was $25. It was the first day of the sale so no discounts. 

I love these clowns!

I bought several clowns like this for Shauna when she was younger. She still has them!  I don't remember what I paid for them, These were $15 each. 

This candle lantern (or whatever it's called!) was nice. 

It was priced at $50

I liked these white dishes! 

It was $120 for the set which I did not think was a bad price for all those dishes! Also note the cute little acorn salt and pepper set for $8

I liked this Christmas serving tray. 

$35. I could easily make something similar with a candle stick and a couple of dollar tree dishes! 

This little pewter nativity set in a case was interesting. 

There was no price on it. 

Look at this old White sewing machine!

They were asking $200 for it. That is an antique cabinet too! 

This vintage lamp was nice. 

It was $150

I see a lot of Santa bears at estate sales now! 

I never collected them. These were $15 each. 

I liked these Christmas dishes! 

They were $100 for the set. 

I have a whole set of Christmas dishes that I am going to try to sell on FB Marketplace soon. I just don't have a use for them anymore! 

I did not buy anything at this sale. 

There are a few more estate sales going on this weekend so hopefully I will have some interesting things to show you and some real bargains to brag about! 

Until then take care and thanks for reading! 

Estate Sale 2 of 3

 The next estate sale I went to was at this house:

It's a 3 bed, 1 bath colonial, 1,600 sq feet and recently sold for $296,000. 

 Although the house needed updating, I thought the kitchen wasn't bad. 

I liked the color of the cabinets but not the backsplash!

There was a nice big deck on the back of the house. 

I thought the prices on most of the things was high and a gentleman remarked the same thing to me as I was walking around. 

There was this pretty set of dishes

They were vintage Mikasa and it was priced at $60 for a set of 8. Not too bad of a price. 

This was interesting

There was a cut piece of wood inside. There was no price on it although I can't imagine who would buy it! 

Lots of pretty but old-fashioned costume jewelry.

Priced anywhere from $10 to $50. 

There was this Brighton 3 ring holder trinket box. 

Very pretty but priced at $60. I know Brighton stuff is expensive but really?

This little jewelry box looked so familiar to me. 

I either had one like it or someone I knew did. $15

I liked this blinged out Detroit Tigers hat. 

Not for $20 though!

These leather pillows were different

$15 each. 

I loved this punched tin mirror.

It was priced at $80

I loved these canisters too!

They were $25 for the set. 

I love mirrored furniture and these two were so pretty!

This plant stand was $295. 

And this trunk was $30. 

These knives were $60 each!

I did look up the brand name and they retail for about $95 but still I thought they were asking too much! They were not in brand new condition!

Here's what I bought at this sale. 

It's a swiffer duster holder. I bought it because I have reusable swiffer dusters and I wanted to give a few to Shauna with a holder. 

Total spent: 25¢ (lol) 

I have one more estate sale to share so I'll be back soon!

Until then take care and thanks for reading!
