The Grandaddy Of All Estate Sales!
If the last estate sale I reported was the Mother Of All Estate Sales, then this one was the Grandaddy! I love it when one sale wipes you out. But it’s torture when there’s so much still there that couldn’t come home with me. This time, I took pictures of the sale. Sixteen pictures follow. Do I put them in a gallery? Or put each picture on here individually? Hmmm…. Individuals or gallery? Gallery or individuals? A gallery would save [...]
The Mother Of All Estate Sales
Ooo… I’m getting way behind. This sale I’m talking about was 2 weekends ago! And tomorrow starts another, so…. let me tell you about The Mother Of All Estate sales. It was advertised as 5000 sq. ft. of stuff. Antiques, collectibles and stuff. And it was. As advertised. Tables end to end, four rows each long room. And it was all good! And all hard to resist prices. It was tough making decisions. I don’t think there was a thing [...]
Some Fall & Halloween Decor Inspiration by Tiffany
First, I’ll apologize for the millioneth time for my poor photography skills. I’m now convinced I need a DSLR camera. With special lenses. And some instructions for taking interior pictures. My little camera does a good job taking close-ups of items under the light tent, but for inside decor shots? Forget it! Ugh. But I trudge along. Tiffany has such a great collection of vintage Halloween and displays it so well. Here are some pictures to inspire you. Hope you [...]
Goodies from last weekend
The sales last weekend did yield a few finds in spite of low funds. (I forgot to pay my sales taxes for August and got slapped with a steep penalty.) The first estate sale of Saturday was in a section of Birmingham that was once a nice area, but is slowly being taken over by an unseemly element. You know the story. It’s going on everywhere. I think that keeps the faint of heart away, but not me. I gripped [...]

There Ain’t No Rest For the Wicked… Weary, I Mean
Wicked is more Halloween appropriate. But what’s that you say? It’s not October, yet? I’m all mixed up. Just finished getting the shop fall and Halloween ready 3 days ago. Worked for a solid month, minimum, moving everything around. I don’t think there was anything that didn’t get touched. Maybe one corner. The garden club Tiffany is in had their program there Friday and that was the finish line. Pictures will be forthcoming in the next post. Rather than relaxing [...]
A few finds from a country estate sale
Tiffany joined me on the hunt last weekend. We took her SUV in hopes of filling it up. The estate sale was in an itty bitty town, a million miles from Nowhere. Only 20 from me, but we’re Little Nowhere. Being in a depressed area, you’d think there would be some bargains, but they had someone from Birmingham come and price the furniture and “good stuff” for them. I walked in and wasted a precious minute looking at and shaking [...]
Some mid week junkin’ fun!
I’ve let myself get really sleepy, so things said here might not make sense, but stay with me. I have to tell the story before getting to the pictures. The yard sales here always start on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The little, local classified paper comes out on Thursday, so starting a sale before then is shooting yourself in the foot. Nobody will know until the next day. And if you’d put it in the previous week’s paper, everybody will [...]
Chair surprise
This chair came to live at my house a couple of years ago. I remember Lena and I had gone to a moving sale. I think I actually spotted the chair first, but didn’t check the price. When she saw it, just a few seconds after I did, she looked at the fetching (appealing) price and the discussion ensued. I claimed it because I saw it first, she claimed it because she thought of it seriously first. Then I said [...]
Treasures from last week
Found my camera cable! Finally! The shop rearrange is close to being done, 8 days after it started. I’m guessing a couple more days at it and I can relax. A little. But not really. I didn’t go to any sales this past weekend, too busy in the shop, and I remember almost nothing about the sales last weekend, but…… I have pictures! There are so many, you probably have time for a potty break while they load. And heeeeere [...]
