Dirty Laundry
Sarah and I didn’t sale last Friday because there was supposed to be a snowpocalypse. It snowed some, but the worst part was really how icy the roads seemed to be. Anyway, I hit a sale on Saturday to make up for our loss. The sale was right nearby and looked to have LOTS of cute things.
And, turns out, it did!
The problem was that everything was so expensive! The tiered serving thing above was $30! All of those cookie jars and vintage pitchers were $20+.
When I saw this old wicker baby scale for $50, I started to get annoyed. That is a really neat item, but no one is going to pay $50 for it at an estate sale. In fact, I didn’t see anyone at this sale buying much of anything, which is sad because there were a lot of nice things.
When I got in the basement there was this adorable, retro stove.
It’s too bad this thing was so heavy or else I probably would have considered buying it.
I did find some old greeting cards for Sarah, and ending up making a deal on the whole lot for $20. There were some really cute cards in here, all from the 40s, 50s, and 60s, so I feel like it was a good deal.
And amazingly, I found a vintage laundry cart. I just cleaned up our basement laundry area and was telling Zach that I wanted some sort of vintage laundry holder/basket thing. This little wheely guy was just the thing I needed!
Right now he is holding all of our clean socks:
I also found this tiered, wire fruit basket thing. It reminds me of an old-timey supermarket or a 1950s kitchen item. I’m also using this in our laundry area, although I haven’t figured out what to put in it yet.
I got both my laundry items for $10.
