Thrifty Thursday #2

I mentioned that we went to an estate sale last Saturday and scored big.  Well here's what I got.  Everything above will eventually show up in my Etsy shop.  I'm seriously smitten with everything I got.  Those pants are just too awesome, but they are for an extremely tiny lady!  And I don't know why I love that Yellowstone Park apron so much, but I just had to get it.  The patchwork dress reminds me of The Brady Bunch.





I got this stuff too, but it's for me.  You can't have it.  MINE ALL MINE!!!  Ok sorry.  The floral and the stripe dress fit me absolutely perfectly and I'm head over heals for them.  And I cannot believe I found this vintage peter pan collar!  It's a bit snug though.  Or maybe I just have a big neck.

This is the rest of the random stuff we got.  There's some scarves, fabric, glassware, pins, and of course a healthy amount of owl stuff.  The things that looks like it has lip gloss in it is actually an Avon pin with a solid perfume.  The other owl container is also from Avon and has perfume in it.  The owl box is a recipe box.

I always feel a bit awkward going to estate sales like this.  I always get so excited about what I'm finding, but at the same time, I'm going through someone's life and their things.  I know these are just material things, but I know there's got to be some sentimental feelings attached to these items.  I just try to be respectful and appreciative of the chance to enjoy the things that someone else enjoyed at some point.

  7. Squeal!! Good job, sweetheart! I mean, I just love everything... everything you scored. You're a pro! I try to shop with restraint... I mean, I have an old, old house with makeshift closets. But I need to find a good estate sale one day, and just get it outta my system!

  8. Some of these things are amazing! I've never been to an estate sale but I've heard so much about them! I know it's going through other peoples stuff - but at least it's in the hope of going to a good home and someone else making memories with the same piece - and part of the charm is the story that might exist around a particular item. You've got some beautiful garments there!
