Sorry for the somewhat lame title – that is just the way some days go for me :) But what DID go well was this past weekends Estate Sale.
Early last week I was contacted by another vintage gal who was super bummed because there were amazing shoes and dresses she was pretty sure she wanted for her shop at this sale – and she could not go early. She wanted to know if I’d be her picker for the day – at least ’til she showed up. We all gotta stick together in this vintage world, kids. So, yeah, of course I’d go! All I had to do then, since I was going to the sale as her, was find someone to be ME for the day. Lucky for me one of my darling pals obliged and we were all set.
We arrived two hours early and were STILL not the first in line. You guys, this job takes a certain crazy type of person. Anyway, the sale was fun, finds were found, my vintage friend got lots of really great stuff and as it happens, I did too. I am supposed to be on a self imposed buying lockdown. It is not going well ;)
Let me share a small sampling of the finds here.
I bought a box of gloves. There were over 10 pair in the box and we glanced through them. I liked what I saw from the quick peek, the ones below really caught my eye, and this was a deal. So I bought them all.
Lo and behold, there are some nice ones in there… really nice… yeah, read that label.
I also bought a lot of 21+ hats plus a few hat boxes and a cute suitcase. I really did not look at these at all until two days after the sale. I browsed at 3 or 4 of the hats while I was there, and again, I had a good vibe about them based on those so I bought them all. WOW. Cute cute cute! Here are a few…
The last hat might be my favorite. National Honor Society bucket hat from the 40s! So. Awesome.
I love this skirt. I am keeping it. Maybe. It is a wonder I sell anything, right? I could wear it with the NHS hat! Swoon.
And here is a photo of the woman who owned all of these items, Ms. Marelli.
So let’s all thank her for being so darn stylish.
There are more great finds from this estate that will come to the etsy shop and my market booth soon. I’ll keep you posted!
