I Love Estate Sales!

I've been seeing a sign for an estate sale. I love going to them!
Finally today while out I told my mom I was going to it.
What I didn't even think about is that it was the 3rd and final day of the sale, and in the last hour too.
I first took up the one set of bath items in the tin and the .25 box of candles. She told me $1. When I looked at her funny she told me everything was half price, and she wasn't charging me for the candles.
Oh my! I only had $4 in my pocket to spend but I went back to find more. I spent that $4 on everything you see in the picture (minus the one bulb missing from the package as I've already put it in the burned out spot in the living room ceiling fan)
Oh how I wish I would have had more money!! I could have, and would have, bought so much more.
I am happy with what I did get, and you can probably guess that those bath sets and the 2 bowls I will use as gifts.
Do you love shopping estate sales too?
It's yard sale season so I need to figure out how to keep some money in my wallet all the time in case I run across things I can't pass up.

There was an estate sale on the outskirts of town this morning. I so wanted to pick up my sister and check it out. Car problems caused me to not go.
I am looking forward to tag sales and yard sales. One can find some really good things if you keep your eye open. And don't be afraid to dicker. If I find something I feel is overpriced I will go lower. The worse they can say is no.

I know you used to collect and sell cans for some pocket cash. I have a hard time keeping any cash as I always spend it on something we "need". I did go to the thrift shop in the next town over, and am seriously pondering some fabric to make into my backgrounds for my Dresden Plate blocks my grandmother started.

The last estate sale I went to I found a lovely mirror with a wooden frame for $10.

You got some really good deals at that estate sale. The last one we went to I got some good deals to.
