Third times a charm, so they say and, in my case, this third estate sale was my charm!
The advertisement for this sale says bring your crafty self and they were not kidding!
First, here's where it was:
I took this picture off the internet because I didn't take any outside. It's 1,800 square ft condo and recently sold for $239,000! It's a nice condo complex but jeez!
Anyway, it was loaded with stuff and there were some very nice things.
I thought this daisy dish set was so cute!
Each piece was marked $2
This vintage China was gorgeous!
They were asking $20
Very small and definitely in need of paint!
All the beauty products were on a shelf in the bathtub!
I rarely buy any of that kind of stuff.
This is the linen closet.
Very neat and organized.
In the bedroom there was every kind of wig and hairpiece you could want!
Plus an adhesive bra!
A very pretty thimble collection.
They were $5 each.
This was one of the bedrooms.
I had to crop the picture to get the person standing there out of it but it was nice and bright with big windows. It must have been a sewing room because it was filled with sewing stuff!
This book told how to make vintage bags.
Then I got to the basement and oh my gosh, when they said bring your crafty, they meant it!
The basement was loaded with all sorts of craft stuff!
This room was all ribbons, threads and embroidery stuff!
This closet was filled with large pieces and bolts of fabric!
There was a Cricut machine with all the accessories!
It was marked $100 but with the discount was $75
All sorts of stuff for scrapbooking!
I never got into scrapbooking thank goodness!
More acrylic paints than I've ever seen in a craft store!
I could go on and on about all the crafting things there were but I think you get the picture!
Here's what I bought at this sale:
A window thermometer and this complete 53-piece set of ratcheting screwdrivers for Rich.
Total spent: $35. I think this is the record for the most I've spent at an estate sale!
I could have dug through this sale for hours, but I had to go to work. I should have gone back the next day but I figured I spent enough!
In other news:
They had a Rootin' Tootin' lunch at work and these were the table centerpieces.
That's all for now.
See you next time and thanks for stopping by!
Wow! This is a sale I could have gotten into. What fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm not too sure about buying someone else's wig...
You did good and I bet Rich was happy too.
You did great on what you got for 35.00. Someone definitely loved to craft, didn't they?
ReplyDeleteWow I would have loved that basement!!!
ReplyDeleteI have one of those games with the pegs. :)
I'm with Mari on the wig. No thanks. Looks like a fun sale with so many items and marked reasonably. I don't believe I've ever spent that much unless it was a funky piece of furniture. I have too much crafting supplies that I'm going to have to donate. I don't know what's going on in there after I close the door - just seems like they're propagating. I couldn't really have that much!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
That sale really was full of treasures.
ReplyDeleteLove the daisy dishes
You did well for $35.
oh wow, this would have been a fun one to go to. I'm sure I could have found plenty to buy at this one.
ReplyDeleteWow, that basement is like a summer camp for crafters!
ReplyDeleteThe centerpiece is adorable!!! Wow, this sale is so weird! That kitchen, OY!!! Could two people even both fit in there? And the awful colors! I'm thinking the owners were maybe very old to have gotten so much stuff! The screwdriver set looks brand new.
ReplyDeleteWowza girl, that was quite a haul! That was one crafty lady who lived there ... and wore wigs and hairpieces, hahaha! You got some good stuff and I bet Rich loved those tools. xoxo 🏴☠️
ReplyDeleteGlad you found some good stuff. I love the creative centerpiece!
