Estate Sales - Kreiss Psycho Santa

I have been on vacation this past week and got to spend a couple of days junk hunting with Mom. We went over to the Antique Mall on Tuesday and to an estate sale on Thursday. I also made an Ebay purchase that arrived this week. So lots to share! 

The estate sale was a little pricey but there was lots of stuff to look through (most not really my kind of stuff). I missed out on a couple of old dolls but not sure I would have wanted to pay the price they were asking anyway. So no big deal. I ended up with a bunch of smalls and a whole box of vintage holiday die cuts, garland and two Beistle honeycomb pumpkins that would have been used in a classroom (I think most of them are from the 70's, 80's and a few 90's). 

A few more Holiday items. This first guy is a Kreiss Psycho Santa, a good find I think (still researching this particular one). Someone at the sale was trying to buy him from me before I left. 

I love the quirky little ghost on the pumpkin!!

And a few other misc pieces.

I was kind of like at kid at Christmas waiting on my Ebay purchase, if you remember a while back I purchased a lot of over 800 vintage postcards. Well of course I needed somewhere to house them so I bought an old postcard rack and I love it!

I am working on my sewing room and trying to get it organized and put back together. I still have a lot of decorating to do up there but thought I would share a few photos of the progress so far. I purchased the little baker's rack while mom and I were at the Antique Mall on Tuesday, I thinks it's just adorable! Pictures are not great and the room is not finished but here is where I am at with it at the moment.

That's all I got! Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

Smalls, Smalls, Smalls - Estate Sale in Greensboro GA

I am not going to take a lot of time talking about this sale because I bought a ton of smalls Wednesday morning and I wanted to share as much as I could. I took the morning off and me, Mom and my brother John took a little road trip to Greensboro GA for what looked like a great sale (and it was)! There were some larger items that I had my eye on (from the online pictures) but by the time we got there all of the bigger items that I was interested in were already sold. Oh well, I thought I make the best of it and dig through this huge building stuffed with vintage goodies and see what else I could find and I ended up finding a ton of great smalls. I like small stuff because it is easier to manage, store and ship when selling online. So here we go, here are the ton of smalls that I brought home (warning - lots of pics - sorry I was a little excited!):

Vintage Ring Boxes (after seeing these on Pinterest I was hooked but had never run across any at a sale before, I ended up with four)

And isn't the little fabric corsage adorable

I also got this sterling corsage pin (I didn't know what it was when I found it but after a little research I discovered it was used to hold a corsage on a woman's lapel)

Dolls and Doll Parts 

(some of these are missing limbs but they are still beautiful, the two larger dolls are German)

Lots of old toys (I think the Cat is my favorite)

Vintage Sewing

Vintage Christmas (I was disappointed that I missed out of most of the great vintage Christmas Items but I did manage to find a few including some vintage fabric and the Christmas Nutshell Library Book Set)

A box full of holiday clipping and cards, plus some other vintage holiday stuff

Miscellaneous Odds and Ends

(the Atlanta Braves Pennant is from the 60's and the corn cob holders are Bakelite)

And my favorite (always look up people, sometimes that is where you will find the treasure)

Vintage Hat/Coat Rack

Sorry to overload with pictures, but I was pretty excited to get all of these beautiful vintage items for a bargain price. This sale was one where you make a pile and they just give you a price and I was amazed to get it all for way under $100. This is the third time I have been to an Old Mill Estates Sale and they really do give good deals. If you see one in your area you might want to check them out.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
