Over the past three weeks I have been dropping by an on going estate sale (dealer going out of business with tons of inventory) and today was the last day and it was advertised as everything being 75% off. There were a couple items that I had seen on prior visits that I wanted to pick up so I made sure to get there early (despite the terrible storm that decided to start just as I was getting ready to walk out the door). Unfortunately when I arrived those items were already gone (drats)! There was still a lot left to dig through. I found a few treasures that made my heart sing (I had not seen these on my previous visit as they were hiding at the bottom of a huge box of linens). I made out pretty well and am very happy with my haul and even happier with what I paid for it:
Vintage Cocktail Napkins
and some more ...
and some more ....
I think I hit the cocktail napkin jackpot!
I also picked up some vintage pillowcases, napkins and placemats.
So did I get anything besides linens, of course I did.
A chicken feeder, enamel funnel and some glass goodies made their way into my pile.
I also had to make one more pass at the ephemera table where I found some unused birthday cards and few more old photos.
The Swan photo is a keeper!
And the last thing (or things) I grabbed were these three hat stands.
I did stop by one other estate sale on my way home but I think I missed out on most of the good stuff. I did manage to find a couple of things to include two tubes of Dorothy Ray Lipstick. I think these date to 1958. I was able to find a vintage ad online for the "Wild Peach" that helped me date them.
I did bring home one other item, you can read about what I did with it

Hope you are having a beautiful weekend and found many wonderful treasures!
