Around here the Estate Sales start on Thursday. Although the prices at estate sales are usually a bit too high, today there were a couple of exceptions.
I brought all of this wonderful stuff home with me.
Look at this wonderful old coffee tin, bucket thing, and some beautiful decanters
Orange ceiling tin, bright yellow printers tray, and a unusually shaped frame, and some spindles and an old folding shopping cart.
Lots of smalls
Love this industrial table, and the large tool box. A couple of old journals with writing in them form decopage and other projects
The pics I took of the junk made me want to take some more "staged" shots.
With these I was playing with the shadows of theh bottles and the basket, and I loved the bright colors of the tin and printers tray in the background.
Usually bright sun is your enemy but I liked the effect.
Maybe something for next year's calendar if I do one.
It was a good day.
How about you?????
Where did you go? I found nothing...yeah for you!
ReplyDeleteWaa.. I was at work, would have rather been shopping (I did cheat a little and go to a Goodwill at lunch and picked up a nice, clean rattan type trash can and a package of 12 tiny salt and pepper shakers.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff you found today,
God Bless,
Good for you! I went to the thrift and got an old tall shabby laundry basket but I think I will put a liner in it and use it for a trash can $2.92. And I got a large copper planter with cool handles for $3.93. It just needs to get a little warmer here in Orlando before I go out in the yard to work.
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you!
Hi Margo,
ReplyDeleteYou did well,really well. I am so ready for the sales to start..springtime is almost here, so it won't be long now. It's great things you found today..
It was a good day for me, too! I have the pics up on my flickr account. A truck load, for sure! Cool feet on that table. I like it. ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteLove the industrial table...what wonderful finds!
ReplyDeleteSadly sales will not start here for another few months :( Your photography is really good--I am so bad! I think your son got the photographer genes from you, you are just discovering it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you found some very cool stuff. I will start going to Estate sales later in the year and see if I like them.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Are you going to be keeping the old ceiling tin? I have been looking for some and my people around here don't have it.
ReplyDeleteYou found some great things, Margo.
ReplyDeleteGood haul, Margo!
ReplyDeleteI had a great day - lunch especially!
Great stuff, I'm looking forward to warm weather, flea markets, and yard sales.
ReplyDeletethat unusual frame would be great for a sailors valentine, maybe it used to be one!
ReplyDeletegreat treasures:D

Wow!! You made off with lots of great goodies. I think the decanters would be my favorite. Also I think the decanters with the sun shining on them is a fabulous picture. Love it...
