I've been saving this buy/brag post, but I don't know for what! This shopping trip was to a local estate sale. I probably wouldn't have gone except that it started on a Wednesday. Isn't that crazy! But I wasn't there to stand in line for numbers, that is just over the top now, don't ya think!
The sale was in a modest neighborhood and when I got there later in the morning it was pretty quiet. BUT a ton of stuff still in this house.
An entire china cabinet full of Waterford crystal. Beautiful, but still pricey.
I found a few linens to buy, then I spotted this China Barrel packing box in the corner full of Xmas items for sale for $10 for the entire box. I peeked inside and saw enough that intrigued me, and so I decided to go for it. It was a giant china barrel grab bag!!
I didn't even realize how heavy this box was until it was time to drag it to the car. The operative word here is DRAG!
But I am a resourceful gal so I managed to fit it into the trunk of the Prius just fine.
What was inside? Well, enough stuff to make the $10 worth it. I will use all this loot to make some vintage xmas wreaths for the local sale that BFF Beth and I are participating in on November 8.
Wow!! That looks so worth $10!! What a fabulous find…you can brag, this is worth bragging about. Can’t wait to see some of your creations with these goodies.
Have a great week, Kiss Noises Linda
