I was feeling all torn over whether all my estate sale photos/finds were getting boring to everyone but me, but then I remembered how much I LOVE seeing the houses that other people go to, and all the fun vintage treasures! So I hope you aren't tired of these round ups! A few Friday's ago (maybe two?) I went on a trek and went to probably 6 estate sales. There were quite a few bummers, but this house was really lovely. Eartha Kitsch did a great post about it with more pictures. My favorite part was the basement. Look at this cute kitchenette!
The floor tile was pretty amazing too. And do you see that pink bathroom scale? I wish I would have bought it! The sale was being run by a church group. The lady had donated her house to the youth and whatever money they made went to their youth group. Which meant the prices were rock bottom! I found one of my favorite scores ever here!
The people running this next sale were weird, but the house was crazy! Full of cool fancy stuff, with the sky high prices to match! They had a skylight in the kitchen, which I am now obsessed with having.
Here are my hard earned treasures.
Here are my hard earned treasures.
I LOVE those two velvety pillows! They match my couch perfectly.
A tiny bit of Christmas. I think the little bird feeder is my favorite.
Misc sillyness. Another set of vintage playing cards I don't need. A Coney Island walnut turtle. And novelty feed bag for you nagging wife.
Terrible! I still had to buy it though. Of course.
Have you ever seen one of these? So perfect for my bobby pins!
Cups! I've been looking for the red hazel atlas cup for over a year! And I got it for 25 cents!
A record my brother in law picked out. I like "Pinball Anonymous" for those pinball addict.
A red wire note holder and some ephemera.
Look at this scarf! The most perfect scarf ever! I think I'll be buried with it.
Vintage cards. The little Miss America one is a birth announcement. How cute!
And I loved these sweet ponies.
A few pictures for my collections. Look at that little poodle on the bottom right!
And last but not least, a cat brooch with a sweet little pearl.
Hope your vintage hunts this weekend are fruitful! I'll see you soon!

Wow! What great stuff! That squirrel scarf is amazing! And I've never seen a glass with a cat wearing earrings. Score! And is that a turtle made out of a walnut? Dang! When I went to the Mitchell house, they had a sign up on the bathroom door saying not to go in so I'm so glad that you could show us what was in there. CUTE!
ReplyDeletea guy threw in that glass for free! i bought this great wooden magazine holder (that i forgot to photograph) that his dad made when he was ten ( was a little sad he was getting rid of it! but i'll give it a good home) and they were like "you can just HAVE that cup. haha.
DeleteOh you and your christmas stuff. Can't wait to see your setup this year. I love looking at cute houses!
ReplyDeletegosh, my setup is going to be OUT OF CONTROL this year! i'm going to try and put up all three trees! haha
DeleteSOOOO Much awesome. I love the snoopy tree ornament and the cat brooch
ReplyDeleteI love the floor in that bathroom!! I wish my bathroom floor was that pretty!!
ReplyDeletehello! that green and white floor is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love reading about other people's adventures at estate sales. I love seeing all the great things that they find. That's about all I blog about too! So keep it up, it never gets boring to me. I love the vintage tile in the photo's, I am hoping one day to get some vintage style tile in my bathroom.
ReplyDeleteDON'T stop posting about your estate sales! I can't go to any right now, so I'm living through you! Hahah! You bought some very cute things. I love the red and white mug. There are 2 of them at my favorite antique store, and everytime I go in there I debate about buying them...they are $5 EACH though! Yuck! I like your price better! :)
ReplyDeleteErica
i only let myself buy mugs if they are super cheap, since i have a cabinet full and hardly use mugs! haha, ridiculous.
DeleteI love seeing your estate sale pictures, unfortunately, there are not many sales like that around here, but I sure wish there was!!
ReplyDeletei've come to realize that nashville is pretty lucky as far as the estate sales go.
DeleteWhat a great haul! That scarf is crazy cute! The bathroom is cool, but man that tile would suck to keep clean.
ReplyDeleteNot bored with haul posts.. they're always my fav. Love seeing what people can score in different parts of the world!
ReplyDeleteThose vinyl floor tiles are likely asbestos containing...! Sorry to be a negative nellie!
ReplyDeletehaha, i can still dream! we had to remove this amazing cast iron furnace in the basement of our house because of these asbestos. ugh.
DeleteLove those vintage photos! And that pink bathroom is just the cutest.

I'm glad you decided to keep posting about your estate adventures, I love reading about them! I don't know where to start with your finds, but that scarf has me swooning over here! & the wee mouse with the calico details is just too precious.
ReplyDeletelove the broche <3
ReplyDeleteI love vintage photos with dogs in them. I raided my Grandma's albums last year, scanning every pic with a dog, and as I did it, my Grandma told me stories about the people and the dogs. It was one of the best days ever!
ReplyDeleteamazing! i would love to do something like that! my grandmother recently revealed to me that they had a pug when she was little! and his name was RADIO! but they don't have pictures. ah!
DeleteOMG! I love that snoopy! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh. Such fun stuff. That "Does The Old Bag Nag" gag made me chuckle. Glad you finally got your Hazel Atlas glass & it was so cheap!
ReplyDeleteVintage cards, vintage photo, cute scarf... all great!
Great finds. I love looking in other houses. The first one was my favourite. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou always find such great things. The squirrel scarf and the cat pin are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteWow, you really got some great things! I love the drinking glass with the cat on it. And the scarf is excellent, as is the cat pin. Lucky you.

I love the estate sale posts. I think you do a good variety of posts on this blog and I enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteJust happened upon your blog - and what a fun blog it is! Love your picks from the estate sales. I HATED wallpaper in my 20s and early 30s, and now I find myslef getting nostalgic for them. They can make a room so cozy!
