I went to my first estate sale of 2014 this morning! There haven't been any good looking ads until now. This one suckered me in with the key words vintage, toys, monkey collection! Haha. The monkey collection turned out all to be modern stuff but it was still fun. Isn't this a cute little house?
I did find a handmade sock monkey! I love how they look. Especially with googly eyes.
Here is the little pile I came home with.
I got a cute circus themed Old Maid deck.
I love it! I actually have a collection of Old Maid decks, I should do a post about it!
There was a HUGE stack of cute vintage fabric. I was good and just brought home these two.
I got a little stack of kids books.
The other one I hadn't heard of, but once I opened the box I knew I had to bring it home!
There you go! A nice little haul for the first sale of the year!
That sale kicked butt! If I'd been there, I would have bought all of the same stuff except that I would have for sure snatched up those towels. Those prices seem really good too!
ReplyDeleteit was family tree so the prices were reasonable! i ALMOST brought home a tub of alphabet blocks with cute disney characters! vintage ones of course!
Deletei want to buy that one kitten for kim book!!! i had it when I was little
ReplyDeletehmmmm i'll think about it. i love it!
DeleteOH MY DAYS that looked like a brilliant sale!!! I WANT those towels too!! You showed amazing restraint not bringing them. I rarely find them now, but I LOVE them. Yes they are small though.. Great for the kids!
ReplyDeleteOld pipe cleaners are beautiful. I always wish I could find a stash, as the modern ones are nasty.. Great find!
i have a bunch already, that is the only way i resisted!
DeleteThat sock monkey is so adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteI was raised on 70's Sesame Street in New Zealand - my Mum's nickname at work was Big Bird (she's nearly 6' like me)
ReplyDeletehow cute!
DeleteReally cute stuff. I need to start going to estate sales but the adds never look good around Here

Those towels! I need some vintage ones, I would have totally picked those up! Great finds, Rae.
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet little house and you got some awesome stuff. I love those doll heads and faces! I know I belabor the point, but sales out here are NEVER like that - it's always the worst mid-80's stuff and nothing else. This haul looks like it makes for a Happy Valentine's Day!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those floral towels! Also I'm so envious! So many Nashville area estate sales begin on Thursdays and I'm stuck at work! I lurk them all the time but I've only been to one! I need to go more often, I always love seeing people's finds!

saturdays are the best though! half off! i seem to be off on thursdays a lot. not my favorite because i'd rather have a weekend day, but it is great for sales!
DeleteI am so glad you got that fabric!!! When I saw the monkey my eyes went straight to the fabric he was laying on and I said to myself "I sure hope she bought the fabric that monkey's lying on!". You got some great stuff. We haven't had any real good ones this year. Can't wait for yard sale season to begin!

i really really really try not to bring home fabric because i have a CRAZY stash but sometimes it is just too good!
DeleteOMG....OMG!!!! Go for Broke is the best game ever!!!!! I grew up playing it with my Grandpa :) I have been meaning to ask them if they still have it. I hope you enjoy it :)
ReplyDeletehow cool! i can't wait to play it!
DeleteI had a deck of those Old Maid cards when I was younger I would have gotten the fabric too but I thought it was a bed sheet (humpty dumpty)
ReplyDeleteits actually a tiny pillowcase, but i think i'm going to cut it up and use the fabric.
Deletewe would have been wrestling each other to the ground over most of that stash! x
