The Estate Sale Jackpot

It's official: last Friday, I hit the estate sale jackpot. I got a HUGE overflowing box of antique goodness for a price so cheap that I still can't even believe it. Here are just a few tiny peeks...

A loose drawing found in one of three (THREE!) giant drawing pads filled with art and vintage papers creates a backdrop for two beautiful diaries from the 1800's that I haven't had a chance to read yet.


A glimpse inside one of the big drawing pads shows tons of loose artwork and this great handsewn lace piece mounted on orange cardboard.


A selection from one of the smaller sketchbooks as well as another random loose piece...


I didn't even mention the victorian picture frame, the vintage clothing, a photo album, handmade finger puppets, or many of the other old but wonderful treasures I found at this old house. This will be a hard sale to top!

  5. Yeah, I'm still so thrilled and won't let myself look at everything just yet...I want to look a little every day to keep the surprises coming. I might read a little in those diaries tonight! You should definitely check out an estate sale if you get a chance - they're so amazing, but also sort of creepy...usually you pick the clothes straight out of the old closets!
