Estate Sale Report

I haven't been going to many sales lately, and they all seem to be kind of terrible! My estate sale radar must be off. Here are some photos from about five different houses. I think I bought two things total. The flea market is this weekend so hopefully my luck will change. 
How cute are the graphics on this toy box? I love that camel so much! It was is really bad shape on the bottom or I might have brought it home.
My new camera messes up photos sometimes. Which is really annoying. But from this you can tell a little how cool this house was! It was almost an hour away, or I might have gone back for a second photo. Someday maybe I'll have a little ranch house of my very own.
 Piles of little stuff. Cute fabrics and cute tiny baby booties. 
 Can I get this in my size? 
 Oh that blue tile! And the sink!
I wanted these drapes for a little hall in my house, but they wouldn't sell them. What is up with that? You know whoever buys this house is probably going to just thrown them in the trash!
Haha. This company prices all their records at 5 bucks. Which is crazy. I would have picked this one up for a buck.
 Pretty chalk birds.
 Tempting. But I knew I'd never actually paint it. 
 I liked that little weird metal out building. And that alien dude!

  3. Arghhh! I know that feeling! My neighbor's who I got my velvet couch off the curb from have stuff in their garage that I just know they are tossing out. They are the children of the owner who is in her 90's and at the garage sale where I first saw the couch they had all her vintage furniture and lamps from inside for sale. :( She's still alive and they are already sellin it off. I shamelessly drive very slowly pass their house every time I leave and sometimes take another street home so I can peek into their open garage door. I've already scored a few treasures from their trash including that blue velvet couch! ;) Rae, I think we'd get along great.

  4. $5 for an album? That is crazy! $1 is as high as I'll go, and I've been lucky to get a bunch for a dime a piece. I really like the chalk birds, very nice.
