Dan and I love a good Estate sale. We don't go very often, but when we do...we usually come home with a treasure. Last weekend we hit the mother lode. Look at this little girl I found last weekend. Is she the cutest thing you have ever seen? She is printed on linen and hanging in our dining room now. She will end up in Mezmur's room or the quiet corner.
This tray I found at an estate sale and I just love it. I can't put it away...
I love my vintage sewing box I found for $7 dollars at a different estate sale. 
This was another piece from the mother of all Estate sales. Dan and I have been married for almost ten years. TEN YEARS and we have never owned a piece of furniture for our bedroom. Our room has sat empty with a bed frame and mattress. We never hung anything on the wall, because we had no furniture. Well, now thanks to an old woman with great taste...we have a dresser. I'll post some "after" photos of our room...soon. 
Estate sales make me a little sad. There was once a woman just as excited about this dresser as I am, but today she has no use for it and sold it to a stranger. If only she knew that it went to a really great home. We also bought her Christmas tree stand, set of four chairs, the mirror that matches our dresser...and just to give you an idea of the great deal we got all this for...we also got a bed for $22.

WOW!!! Old people DO have great taste!!! Awesome finds!
NICE! I love garage sales and estate sales!
WOW! I've never found an estate sale with bargain basement prices--that one was the best!
Holy cow. Awesome. And I'm jealous. Maybe not at the 10 years with no furniture bit---you guys are funny, but what amazing bits of cool items! Love it all.
Looks like it was worth the wait for your bedroom. . . Can't wait to see it all set up. The sewing basket looks perfect for you as well as functional. The other items fit you and your family to a "T". . . I don't have the patients to try and find "find" like these but
I have heard there is some great estate sales here in Naples. Once again you may have inspired.
great find!! you're lucky. :)
i am with you! i recently found china that matched my mother's at an estate sale, and the lady of the house was so happy to see it going to a good home. she told me she thought it would be too sad to attend since her husband's passing, but instead she was really happy to see their treasures loved. <3
yay! Obviously, I need to hit one of these sales with you. Congrats on all the cool finds.
you hit the jackpot. love it all.
what an assortment of amazing pieces! old things have so much more meaning and style. i much prefer the thrift store find over a catalog purchase anyday.
