A day of sales!

There are a ton of sales in town this week/weekend! Not many that look tempting, but it was still fun to have a bunch of listings to look through! I am off work today so i decided to spend my morning going to a few. And you know I got something good if I'm posting about it the same day!

The first sale I want to was in the store front that one of my favorite sale companies has. Then a little house in Crieve Hall, and then this big weird place in Germantown. This place was WEIRD. It had living space and work space and tons of HUGE cool stuff that wasn't for sale. 

Like that amazing Attack of the 50 ft. Woman art! How much would you love that in your house? The table in front of it was full of vintage camera stuff which was neat, but antique store priced so I left it.

 These strange cut outs weren't for sale either. Really, there were about 20 things for sale per room.

 Look at that amazing circus banner! There was a room that had a bunch of great old panorama photos that I was tempted by. I might regret not picking up the one of the boys camp from 1937. A hundred awkward preteen boys in little shorts and kerchiefs with no shirts. But it was antique store priced as well. Hmmmm.

Oh my way out I noticed this creepy scene in the fountain out front.

Here is what I ended up with. Notice Murray was having a hard time not hanging out with me while I took pictures. This picture made me laugh so I had to post it!

 So here is the crazy part. I got this cute donkey brooch at one sale for four bucks. Not a bad price. 

And I don't want to brag, but at the next sale I got all this for the same price!!! She actually asked for five bucks, but since I only had four bucks cash she took that! This sale was run by one of the BIG companies in town, that is known for overpriced sales. It had walked through and only picked up a piece of fabric and looked through a bunch of cheap modern Christmas stuff. I decided to quickly glance at the boxes in the car port and when I saw a few elves peeking out I got excited and started digging. There was a big box of more glass balls but I wasn't sure how it was going to be priced so I left it. I was seriously waiting for someone else at the sale to see what I was finding and come snatch some away! But no one there was looking for vintage stuff I guess? I took it up to the front and the woman running the sale barely even looked in the bag and box I had, just said five dollars. I still can't believe it. Here are some close ups:

 A big pile of Santas. A yarn lion. A flocked reindeer. 

 These were the best balls, but there were way more! I like the honeycomb looking ones a lot.

 I'm most excited about all these elves! I've been wanting a bunch of them but never seem to find them at sales for less than 5 bucks each.  I like the little singing dude! And the one in the yellow outfit.

 Some little glittery nativities, and some cute deer. There are a few birds scattered through there. 

These BIG flocked deer are actually what I saw first. I bet if there had been a hidden camera you would have seen my eyes bug out. I love their creepy blue eyes!

A little felt stocking and some gift tags. I'm on the lookout for gift bags this year. For real, I will never pay full price for wrapping paper again. There is so much at estate sales for 25 cents a roll! And ribbon! And tape!

Some sugar bells and three corsages.

I already have a few of the red birds.

Other than the Christmas stuff, I grabbed two other things. This fabric I am going to use to recover two pillows for our couch. My plan is to get up and do it after I post this, so well see. I'm not totally sure what the Hawaii thing is. It is made of silky fabric and is a little envelope. For some reason I think it might be for putting lingerie in when you pack it, but I don't know why I think that. It has a little poem about sisters inside, and a cute hula girl on the back. 

   

And there you have it! What a haul!
