Nice House Estate Sale

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

This is a 4 bedroom 3.5 bath Tudor that is 3.013 sq feet. It was for sale for a mere $750,000!

Its a nice house but give me a break! 

I took a few more pictures of this house than I normally do because it really was nice inside. 

This is the family room. 

It was huge! 

Here's the kitchen. 

The one side was open to the family room. 

This is the basement. 

One area was a mirrored exercise room with all sorts of equipment. You can see my reflection in the mirror taking the picture! 

This was the other end of the basement. 

This was the only shot I got of the master bedroom.

It was huge with big windows. I like the contrast of the blue painted walls and the wood trim. 

 

This was the living room going into the dining area. One of the workers was taking a break apparently!

This was looking down to the front foyer. 

I love me a curved staircase. 

Here are a few things for sale. It was the first day so no discounts. 

These Christmas plates were cute. 

They were $10 for a set of 3

I liked this mitten platter. 

It was $5

These trees were so cute! 

They were $5 each. If I was still collecting trees I would have bought them!

This was kind of odd. They were just a little smaller than life-size, 

I guess that's Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. $180 for all three of them!

I liked this wall hanging. 

It was $20

This was a box of nail polishes. 

It was $20 for all of them. The bottles were only about an inch big but there was a great variety of colors! 

I liked this little side table. 

It was priced $45

Here's a vintage Coach bag. 

It was $80. I don't really care for the style though. 

Of course, there was a Kitchen Aid mixer. 

It was $250 and the food processor was $150. 

I liked this shelf. 

and this shelf

$40 and $60. I liked both of them but do I really need more scrolly things to clean? 

No, I do not! Besides, I don't have anywhere to put them. 

I did not buy anything at this sale. I intended to go back the next day to see if the nail polishes were still there but I didn't get the chance. 

I snapped this picture of the house across the street as I was leaving. 

That's all for now. 

Until the next time take care and thanks for reading!

Old House Estate Sale

 My next estate sale to show you was at this house.

This house is in the Northville Historic District and it was built in 1919. It has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and is 1,650 sq ft. It's for sale for $441,800. 

I would think that whoever bought this house would want to tear it down and build a new one. If so, that is a ton of money to pay for the tiny lot it's on.  

Maybe Northville won't let that happen because of the area it's in but considering all of the old houses that have already been torn down in Northville, and Plymouth, too, probably they would allow it. More tax money for them! 

Anyway, here is the living room. 

That room was way too dark! For sure if I bought this house those red walls would have to go! 

Here's the kitchen and dining area

Nice and bright compared to the living room! 

Here's the yard and the back of the house. 

Yeah, that garage could use some work!!!

It had a nice, big deck and lots of windows going into the dining area!

The house was full of creepy things and Halloween decorations. I took a few pictures to show Rich but I am not going to put any of them on this post. I deleted them off of my phone. 

There was plenty of nice things also. 

This clock in some fake books was different. 

They were asking $18. 

I kind of liked this vase with the vine and glass grapes hanging off of it.  

It was $35

I liked this little bag. 

It was $5. I have no use for it though. 

I really liked this box. 

It was filled with pens and pencils and markers. They were asking $15

Back in the day portraits with oval frames were popular. 

I think there were a few in my family of great grandparents. $40

I loved this stuffed doggie! 

I gave him a scritch on his head as I walked by! $15

I kind of liked this box too!

They were only asking $8 for it. I passed. How many boxes does one need? 

More Madame Alexander dolls! 

They were not priced. 

There was a large raven statue in the backyard. 

It kind of went with the rest of the creepy stuff in the house but a raven is one of God's creations, so I included him! $75

There was a set of beautiful dishes. 

They were Royal Albert and $350 for the set. 

This soup tureen was so pretty, too! 

I like the design on the inside It was priced at $26

This tea set was nice. 

It was $100

There was a kitchen aid mixer of course! 

It was $135. Not a bad price I thought.

This silver butter dish was nice. 

It was $18.

Here's what I bought at this sale. 

This knife is super sharp. I tested it on a piece of paper before I bought it. 

Total spent: $4

After scrubbing and sterilizing it in the dishwasher I used it to cut up some vegetables and oh my, I did not realize how dull my other kitchen knives were!

I have another estate sale to share if you guy aren't sick of seeing them so I'll be back in a few days with that one. 

Until then take care and thanks for reading!

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!
