My neighbor Tracey, who is not only my karaoke buddy, but the best estate sale shopping partner ever, was there, and so, of course, we had to take a few minutes to look at the sales online. Sure enough, there was one sale close by on Sunday, and we made plans to wake up early and get there early. I'm so glad we did, because it was awesome! Surprisingly, for the second day of a sale, there were lots of fun things left.
I ended up with a bunch of cute things for my home and shops, and the theme of the morning seemed to be woodland and whimsy. Take a look at the loot:
Vintage Ceramic Snails (wooden mushroom found last week)
I thought this was a jewelry holder, but the cashier clued me in - it's a family tree photo holder.
This tree is definitely a jewelry holder. It is so cute with the little owl perched there!
This vintage owl was so cute, I could not resist. He's a planter, but makes a great paintbrush holder.
I picked up these kitchen tile trivets on a whim. Such pretty colors!
Cute little Baby Ben Westclox alarm clock. I cleaned it up, wound it up and it works great!
One of several tins I picked up.
I hope you had a great week, and thanks for stopping by! I love reading your comments, and word verification is currently off. Don't forget to check out more vintage goodness at these great parties!
