Mom and I attended an estate sale this weekend at a big old house down in the Hill Area of town. I heard that no one has lived in this house for years (it was very neglected and in need of some TLC). Yep, a big old house full of vintage goodness just sitting there for years! Can you imagine, this is the stuff dreams are made of (well my dreams anyway!). Obviously a teacher at one time resided in this house because I found some great vintage school items. As I sifted through several boxes on a table, my heart went pitter patter when I opened this one:
I know two little red headed girls that are going to love these!
I also bought the following items, I think some of these would be adorable framed and hung up in a child's room:
I would have been happy with just the school stuff but when I went out to the garage I spotted Vintage Christmas and some Vintage Easter (one of the bunnies kind of reminds me of Yoda):
Okay so I would have been happy with the school stuff and vintage holiday stuff but there was jewelry!
So that should have done it right? Oh but then I saw this vintage Queen of Heats Tea Set:
So I finally pulled myself away and called it a day, but when my phone rang this morning and I saw Mom's number pop up I knew she wanted to go back today and so we did. The house was pretty much picked clean but I did manage to find a few more fabulous things.
What a great sale and a bonus was that my favorite two Estate Sale ladies (Brenda and Elaine) were running this sale. Wish every sale was this wonderful!
Hoping everyone is having a great weekend and finding great vintage treasures!
