The weekend was not the end of the pickin’ dry spell I was hoping for. My friend Jeri and I went to a few yard sales in her town on Friday, but they were just blah yard sales. Bought nothing.
Saturday fared a little better. Six estate sales. True estates, not pretend estates. Well, except for one. They might have been moving or something. There was no junk. Just the stuff they thought people would want to buy, all throughout the house and with high prices.
So from those 6 sales this is what I brought home. And I had to work dang hard to find these few things.
Standing wire basket. I’ve always wanted one of these. Happy to have found this one!

Love vintage wedding photographs and have quite a few now that I need to let go of and sell.

Vintage Chanel #5 that I’m sure I paid too much for. The perfume smells like pure rubbing alcohol, but I can’t find the bottle shape anywhere. Maybe that’ll add a little value to it?

Art Deco Sessions alarm clock. Sigh. Exciting, huh?
Two antique cook books. The one on the right is from the New Orleans Ladies Aid and Sewing Society. I can’t find this book anywhere on the internet, so does that mean it’s really rare and worth millions? LOL They’re both in horrible condition, but look at the writing in the Ladies Aid book:
Do you love it? I do! Those old recipes written in that turn of the century handwriting is priceless to me.

And that’s it. Not much to crow about. No, that’s not true. Add to that a pine cone elf for me and an Italian, enamel flower wall hook I gave to Erin. She’s collecting them right now. Once she gets her fill, I’ll be able to sell the ones I find.
Have you “liked” the Facebook page, yet? May I grovel? I can’t seem to get over 229 people. It just hangs there. It might gain one, but lose another. I promise not to bombard you with what I’m selling. Actually, I probably don’t post enough. Click here to see it. Thank you if you’re already a part. And thanks to you if you join!
Love the basket! I’ve been in a drought lately too. Hopefully things will pick up for both of us soon.
