The Good Stuff Just Keeps Showing Up

Susan asked me if I wanted to go to an estate sale with her last Saturday.  I haven’t been to one in years.  I was a little nervous knowing how excited I get with thrifting these days, but the prices pretty much held me back.

With prices being a tad more at the first day of an estate sale vs. Thrift Shops, I had to settle myself down right away.  The ad in the paper described this Chippendale desk which I would have LOVED, but at around $900, I passed.  It was probably worth that much however.  It was gorgeous.

 

 

Of course there were sets of china…

 

 

 

A Full set of brown transferware…with every serving piece made!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was able to pass since I already have brown transferware.

 

 

 

 

 

Loving silver, these cups really appealed to me.  I thought they were quite unusual.  With the dog base, they would have been so cute in my Hunt Club family room.  I considered coming back the last day of the sale to see if they were still there and marked down, but I didn’t return.  Seeing them again, I wish I had.  :(

 

Shown below were my only two purchases at this Estate Sale, a linen table cloth and some sweet little napkins that will look cute in an upcoming tablescape.

 

We moved on to a second estate sale.  This one was in an old home.  I found this little bunny, pulling a cart.  It seems quite old.  The little frog will look cute in a potted plant this summer.  I found two pampered chef pie pans with some little scoops, and this sweet little glass to go on my guest’s nightside table.  My oldest grandson is learning to read so I couldn’t pass up the reading cards for a quarter or so.  Perfect to keep him quiet in church.  ;)

 

My mother loves cobalt blue, so these bowls will go with her Mother’s Day present.   Custard cups for my daughters and more embroidered napkins.

 

We then moved on to a couple of thrift stores where I found this silver plated hand mirror.

 

 

 

 

 

The next store had this beautiful brown footed stemware  (Look at that price!)  and a milk glass vase.

 

 

Back at the Goodwill I found a set of six twig placemats for $3.00.  I think they have possibilities.

 

 

At another thrift store this set of OLD mixing bowls was $2.00!!  My daughter said she can always use another mixing bowl.

 

Not pictured, but made my grandsons super excited was a huge bag of Star War figures for $1.50!  Angie told me that brand new those figurines went for around $7.00 a piece!  She thought I got a great bargain.

 

Last of all was a set of eleven silver (of some sort…they are slightly tarnished) chargers for $2.00~  I think I got a fabulous price on these!  Hey, since there were only eleven, I must keep thrifting to see if I can find a twelve one!
