Well day two wasn't as fruitful as day 1 but still lots of pretty things to be had for me and you! Started out with a sale I was really excited for, it was supposed to be the estate of an antique shop owner (sounds good, right?) well, it just turned out to be a back yard full of junk. Kind of a bummer, but moving on..my hubs and I just went driving around looking for estate and yard sales. Found a few good ones. Stopped by the neighborhood I spent a lot of my childhood in, at my grandma's house. Stopped by a "dig for treasures" estate sale where I found some shoes.
and a sewing bag that I didn't smell until I got home and then WHOA so I threw it away. Oh well, it was only $1. Then I stopped by a sale with the most gorgeous 1940s/1950s bedroom set with frame, vanity and dresser...and it was only $150...I could've died. If I would've had a truck It would be mine.
They were miss labeled as 1920s..but ya know, they obviously didn't do their research if they're selling it for so little. I don't expect it will be there long. If anyone who knows anything about vintage furniture sees it, they'll pick it up in a heartbeat. Well around that same neighborhood I found a couple more sales. One with a neat little sliding basket thingy that is already full of shoes and other random stuff. I could've used about 3 or 4 more, I'm in need of more storage, badly.
Not too far from that one, around the corner actually. Was a sale with some surprising vintage finds..

sheer 80s lace maxi
with blue trim, rose buttons and butterfly pattern
gorgeous hostess dress
pretty beaded collar.
Then the hubs and I took a drive all over the south hill area (aka, the rich neighborhood in town) and there were a few sales, mostly creepy culdesac sales. Not my cup of tea those cookie cutter development neighborhoods...no thanks. But yeah, not much there. I did find a pretty little prom dress at a sale with two huge round clothing racks that I was coveting pretty hard. I could've used those. Can you tell I'm in need of storage? Maybe I should have a big sale and liquidate some of this inventory to make some room....hmm.
Isn't it pretty? I love the two tone pinks
Lastly we stopped by a sale that apparently we should've stopped by earlier. It looks like they could've had a lot of clothes bu were pretty cleaned out by the time we get there. But I did find a couple things.
found this gorgeous curtain fabric that I think would make a beautiful dress (or two) I like thick dresses.
12 yards of it, uncut with the original tag on.
so pretty :) I'm so excited.
a pretty hand painted 40's wood hanger
I'm all about the display hangers lately.
Well that's it. There are a few more sales that are "sunday only" so we'll be hitting up those tomorrow...and hopefully plenty of photos of the new items!
