The "estate" of things

A great estate sale is one of my favorite things to do.  But in this town, you have to get there early and be quick.  One usually sees the regular faces that are always there, other dealers and such,  and as I said, you have to be quick.  But Dad and I managed to get some good things on our last little jaunt.  Thought I would show you some that I'm going to put on my Etsy.

Found some sweet little baby things.  Soft, feltie shoes, and an adorable little teether.  Loved the little bell.  I could just imagine a sweet baby, contended in her bed, as that little bell gently jingled, keeping her amused.  And the most darling baby book.  The illustrations are so sweet.

A few bits of lace.  I've never been much of a lace girl before, but now it seems to always catch my eye. 

This wee, little doll.  Again, I'm not much of a doll person, so I never even noticed her.  But Dad did.  And when he decided that she was not for him, I snapped her up.  She is so tiny, the length of my index finger.  Geez, I hope, I'm not beginning to like the same things as Dad.  Scary indeed.  LOL.  My Dad has eclectic taste to say the least.  And we never agree on anything as far as junkin goes...but thanks Dad, I loved this find.

Lovely old millinery flowers in the most gorgeous shade of purple (although the pic looks more royal blue) and silver, oval frames. 

And this awesome Store-Aid container.  I really did one of those, looking around moves to see if anyone else noticed that it was there.  And I just plucked it up and tried to contain my glee.  It's in excellent condition.  Trying to decide if I can part with it or not. 

And these tiny, rustic, silver charms.  Yes, I agree.  Not the smartest tactic to photo on polka dot paper.  What can I say?  It's Monday and I've only had one cup of coffee.  Duh. 

Where there are our fleas for this week.  Last week was lots of Western finds, this week seems to have been baby.  Who knows what the next trip will bring.  Check out my Etsy shop if there is something that catches YOUR eye.  

Happy Monday.  I'm off to find another cup.  : D

Great stuff- I've never see one of those storage pieces with wallpaper inside- so pretty. The lace and flowers look so sweet together. You MIGHT want to try your baby book on Ebay- I've done really well with olders ones in good shape if they have good illustrations.
