That explained why they were writing prices on the walls with sharpie markers. I think it was the company's first sale. It was strange. At first I wasn't finding much, but I ended up with some good stuff.
These chairs were awesome. The one on the right was calling my name, if only it had the bottom cushion! We saw some girls loading these into their car as we left.
You KNOW I would have bought those old tampons. : ) Wow, what a beautiful house. I'm kind of glad that I didn't see it in person now that I know that it's going to be demolished. So sad... In upbeat news, I can't wait to see what you got! I see the teenybopper button!
ReplyDeletehahah, i THOUGHT about buying them and then leaving them on your doorstep, but didn't know if that would be tooooo creepy! haha, the box was in great shape, and full!
DeleteI don't know...even if I knew the house was being torn down, I would still have such a hard time writing on the walls; it seems mean. Poor old house. I do want that Teenie Bopper pin. My brother has a button maker, and they're not too hard to make, but it is way cooler to find an awesome one in the wild!!!
ReplyDeletei swooped down on that pin so fast! i'm kind of obsessed with it!
DeleteAnd also, I'm hungry for fried pickles.
ReplyDeleteThat house! I went to that sale...and I totally agree about the wall-writing. Just so sad; the house was once loved by somebody. What was weird to me was that in the ad, they said that some family members were still living there. How could you live like that? I got some good Christmas stuff as well, and two blond wood coffee tables that I now think are beyond refinishing (sigh.sigh.sigh). However, it was one of the weirder estate sales I've been to and organization was lacking.
ReplyDeletei missed that in the ad! how weird? when i got there a guy and some kids were eating chicken wings on the check out table, then they left all the bones out and trash everywhere so i couldn't put my stuff down. so so weird.
