Saturday Estate Sale....

My husband and I got up to go to the "Rock" yard this morning, (project to be seen at a later date), then we stopped at our local coffee shop and purchased coffee's. We started on our way and immediately saw an Estate Sale sign....so of course I just had to have him pull over. Apparently it was being held by the granddaughter's of this elderly couple, needless to say I believe I came away with some great finds once again!


This picture is quite large and was only $5.00. My husband even commented on what the story is behind the picture. Did the couple buy it at the local dime store years ago for just a small amount of money, was it a gift?, did the wife just fall in love with this picture and had to have it, so the husband purchased it for his dear wife?.....

Do you ever wonder what the story is behind something you purchase?

Then I came upon this sweet calendar towel and the "granddaughter" said to me they found it up in a box when they were going thru things, still folded and in perfect condition.

As you can see it is dated 1963 (the year I was born)

and it has this sweet little saying.

You know I had to have this!

I also found these lovely vintage scarves. I thought I would tie this fun green one on my yellow purse. And this brown one is sooo soft and silky with roses, it's quite lovely!

This apron was also a purchase, modeled by my lovely Hillary,

along with the dish towel, another vintage find!

Then I came upon this sweet crochet edged white pillow case,

it may even be called tatted (sp?), almost pristine white.

I couldn't leave that now could I!

Along with these delicate hand embroidered tea napkins and one very delicate yellow napkin/doily. I see myself using these when friends or sisters are over for ice tea or coffee and homemade bread. The time taken to make these things must have been cherished moments. Maybe she was a busy mom herself and this was her time to herself.

What story these things could tell!

All of the linens were purchased for $1.00!!

Then my husband who was outside in the garage found a bag full of tools and wanted to show me something in the garage. I found this mailbox for .25 cents (I'll show you what this will be later in a post). The we continued on to our original destination the "Rock" yard and purchased what we needed for that project and when we got back home my husband, who loves to cook, made me this fabulous lunch while I took pictures for this blog.

I love this man!

What a fun Saturday we spent together, both doing something we love!

How did you spend your Saturday?
