Chucks declared he would drive me to ONE sale, and one only. I could not put anything in the bed of his truck - whatever I bought had to fit behind the seats.
AND (very dramatic) I'd better remember the path we had to blaze through all my junk to get out of the house.
Really!?!
I chose one estate sale in a small neighborhood where families had lived forever. I had seen the paper posters two days before when out and about, but no ads in the newspaper or online.
AAAH! A secret sale. I love those.
I ran through the small house - lucky for me the family had everything nicely arranged, marked with prices, and helpers with bags in every room. Plus the prices were very reasonable.
In the top photo is the Pepsi crate, the scale weight, the blue and tan cardboard suitcase, a red dictionary, and an old print of parakeets.
The two star candle lanterns and the brass book rack are finds from Horror Monster.
Not bad for fifteen minutes, eh?
I had, like, two minutes left, but did not use them.
Chucks did complain about hauling the encyclopedia up the street to the truck.
He said all had to be cleaned, tagged and taken to the booth by Sunday night.
Honestly, he thinks he is the boss. And I let him think that.

ReplyDeleteHey Donna! Don't you love it when you can still score even when you're rushed? Love that Pepsi crate! I saw some cool Canada Dry crates yesterday but left them, big money and had nowhere to put them anyway (they were big, milk crate size). Thanks for sharing this at the We Call It Olde Link-Up. Take care - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
