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!

Estate Sale 1 of 3

 I've been to 3 estate sales in the last week or so, even though they seem to be winding down for the season 

The first one was at this condo 

It was big for a condo! Three-bedroom, 4 bath, 4319 sq. feet that wasn't for sale yet but Zillow estimated it's value at $650,000!

Here's the kitchen

It was actually just half of the kitchen because people were in my way. The island was huge and there was a small dining area next to it! 

This was the family room.

Lots of natural light! 

Those were the only pictures I took of the actual condo. On to the interesting things I saw. 

This iron basket with a bunch of plastic green apples. 

I liked the basket, not the apples!  It was marked $20 but everything was 25% off. 

I liked this Alice in Wonderland tea set. 

The pot was priced $16 and the cream and sugar bowls were $6 each. With the discount not too bad of a price if you were into that sort of stuff!

I really liked this serving dish. 

It was marked $16. I don't really have a use for it though! 

I loved this mirror.

It was huge! $28. I like the black lamp too. I didn't notice it until after I was looking at my pictures so I don't know what they were asking for it. 

I'll just randomly put this in here. 

 Moving on..

I really liked this picture!

The colors would go in my house perfectly but it was huge! And I don't think I have a wall big enough for it! It was also $28.

This Christmas picture was cute. 

It was not priced. Now that I have been looking at the picture I wish I would have bought it! 

Oh well! 

There were several designer purses, too, but this one was interesting. 

Made out of Twizzler packages! No price on it!

Here's what I bought at this sale. 

A lined basket that we use to keep the TV remotes and misc. stuff in, a pretty box that I will use for fabric scraps and a reading pillow that doesn't look like it was ever used. 

Total spent: $8

I'll be back soon with a couple more.

Until then take care and thanks for reading!
