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.
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!
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!
how much were they asking for the Barbie case with dolls? My sister had that one when we were little
ReplyDeletei feel like it was around 60 dollars
DeleteI almost bought that same circus toy box at a thrift store out here but it was just too thrashed. Good luck at the flea!!!
ReplyDeletei was racking my brain trying to figure out a way to fix that one. the bottom was pretty much busted out though. so sad!
DeleteArghhh! 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.
ReplyDeleteoh man what a shame you can go rescue that stuff! i bet owner would get a kick out of you coming to love her stuff too!
Delete$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.
ReplyDeleteright?? it would have to be something really cool or funny for me to spend over a dollar. that whole sale was kind of delusional.
Deletebetween the troll doll records and the turquoise bathroom sink...I feel like I want to know these people.
ReplyDeleteThose sales look pretty fabulous to me! And yeah, you're right about those drapes. :(
ReplyDeletethese were the few bright spots in otherwise slim pickings.
