Estate Sales

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, estate sale season is back again and in full swing.  The last couple of months have been rough as I was ill with an unknown ailment that affected my hands.  Now I finally have a diagnoses, rheumatoid arthritis.  Still learning about this but finally have some answers.  To get over the depression this has brought on I have started estate saling again. 

This weekend there were 3 good sales.  A number of gals I work with have never been to an estate sale and seem intrigued that I will sometimes take lunch time to run to one if it close.  So Friday I inducted a new gal, Beth, into estate sales.  I went mainly to look at a blue and white china coffee pot that matches some china I got the first time I went to England.

I still need to do some research into the marks on it.  It's not Royal Copenhagen, but close enough.

 There were other items I wanted but wasn't willing to pay full price so Saturday morning I got up and went back and then to 2 other sales.  These are a few of the items I picked up.

The crates will be used for set up at fleamarkets, which I'm going to try again this summer.  Vases, poker chip carrier, candy dish, red handled spatula and books will go into my fleamarket inventory.

One other item I got on the trip so South Carolina was another vintage tape measure to add to my collection.

Missed being ready for today's flea market at Mega Mall but will be ready for next one in 3 weeks.
