estate sale success!

This past Friday I did my routine search for estate sales in the neighborhood and found two that were very close together. Usually my stops at estate sales are entertaining-- exploring a house in the neighborhood, hunting for craft supplies, seeing how people lived-- however, they usually end in a no purchase.

Not the case for this past Friday! I found many treasures that could not be passed up. I post for your viewing pleasure (and envy), the things I found:

Estate Sale Finds!!!!

The two wooden objects, the pear and the dog, are for my new crafting work space at home. The blue and white polka dotted scarf is of course, for me to wear when I want to look sassy. The 6 knobs were a steal!!! The whole bag for $2! At Anthropologie.com they sell for $8 a piece and at World Market, for about $2 a piece.

The southwestern looking bag, $3, which was a good price, as I was unsure (and still am a little) how I feel about the southwestern-y design. It's perfect for my library books though :)

And for my last two finds...

One: this handpainted mobile by Irmi. You can check out the story of these mobiles at http://thebabygardner.com/blog/2010/01/ and you can also see some better pictures of the mobile.
and I made the purchase for five whole dollars!!! There is no baby Brooke to enjoy this mobile yet, but when and if there ever is, it's gonna be a vintage party in the crib :)

Two! This Dansk Flora teapot... I love the design and I loved the price - twenty bucks! Not too shabby. And it's already doing a top job decorating our apartment.





Wishing all Fridays were as successful as this one...
