These two women were having a VERY LOUD conversation about a mutual acquaintance who they thought had commited INSURANCE FRAUD. They said that word about 100 times! It was kind of fun listening to them once they moved out of the kitchen so I could snoop around. See that spoon set on the side of the stove? I'm pretty sure Eartha Kitsch snapped that up later in the day!
You walked into the house at this room. It was all dark paneling and things hanging from the rafters. You can kind of see one of my purchases hanging in the right corner, can you see what it is?
The bathroom was all grey and pink, even though it looks green in the photos. I really want pink or blue tile in my bathroom. Maybe next year we'll do a renovation.
Some dishes! I got the jar to put my rolled oats in, and I love bowls with handles like that because I eat a LOT of soup in the winter and it is nice to have a handle so you don't burn your hand! The striped glass is already in my booth, and even though I said I wouldn't buy any more vintage glasses for myself, that circle glass is so perfect!
And lastly, my kitchen witch! I have been wanting one of these for a while. When I pulled it out of my pile to ask for a price the woman running the sale said "Ew!" So rude! I paid her a quarter anyway, and now I've got to decide where to hang here. I'll probably put her in the pantry.
I've never heard of a kitchen witch before! that house looks amazing! love your new strawberry jar and the cute little snap cards
ReplyDeletePlease let me know the next time you go to an estate sale in my neighborhood! I would love to tag along and learn your ways of finding goodies!
ReplyDeletethere is one coming up september 20th that looks AMAZING! i am going to that one FOR SURE
DeleteDoggy BFFs! Awww! You got some GREAT stuff! I completely forgot to take my photos off of the camera. I tried to get some photos of the wallpaper throughout but don't think they came out so great. Glad that you did! That yarn cat is AWESOME. And yep, those were the spoons I got. Finally got all of the cooking grease off and am good to go once I get a kitchen wall back!
ReplyDeleteOh wait, no I got the spoons on the wall. The wooden ones with the people on them are still at the sale, I think!
ReplyDeleteWe just had an estate sale on our radar at a house built in 1904 where the woman had lived for nearly 70 years. A friend got there early to stake it out and, after her shock at the meager offerings, learned that EVERYTHING had been thrown out by the children!!! They had a few pieces of furniture and some bric-a-brac but everything else was gone!!! Disappointing to say the least. I like your witch!
ReplyDeleteoh that hurts me! what a shame!
DeleteDude, somebody BOUGHT that Humpty Dumpty guy for $150, is the more shocking thing-- it wasn't there when I went on Friday afternoon! Nor was the horse cookie jar. Friar Tuck was still hanging around, looking lonely. I always see things I didn't see in person when I catch them on your estate sale photo roundup! :) ((PS: WE LOVE THE WITCH! And the kitchen kitty. People are dumb!))
ReplyDeletewhat the heck! i don't get why cookie jars are SO EXPENSIVE! it isn't like there is a shortage of them! i never see cute ones for under 100 dollars! that is just insane!
DeleteOMG the cards!! <3 I'm having a Thrifty Thursday link party next Thursday! Hope you can link up :)

DeleteI remember there being a kitchen witch above our sink when i was little, but i don't remember when it disappeared. Maybe it was gone after the 94 Northridge Quake when our place was trashed. I always wondered why my mom who was SUPER anal about everything being put away left this one random halloween decoration up all year, ha ha.
ReplyDeletehaha, awesome! i love kitchen witches! they are so ugly/cute!
Deleteawww those little animal cards are beyond adorable! & that lucky witch is hilarious, haha such a fun thing! :)
