Yes, I broke my rule again. And I didn't even clean the house on Friday night to earn the privilege. What's next... white shoes after labor day... going to bed without brushing my teeth... just the other day I was walking around in sandals with unpainted toenails. A regular Wild Thang.
This sale didn't pay off like the
last time I broke the rules, but I came home with a nice little pile of loot from a sale that advertises itself as "priced right". J and N, love you guys!
Creamy ivory colored beads, rhinestone bling plus two sweet little Gurley deer and a box of those Angle Chime candles I was searching for last Christmas.
The leather bound travel journal is from 1944 and belonged to Carolyn Lazenby. It chronicles a train trip across the United States. She didn't really write very many entries but it is still fun to read. It will find it's way to my Etsy because I'm sure someone will have fun journaling it it or making an altered book.
I don't think the glasses are real. I think they are the "craft" kind, but they may work out for a project that is still percolating.
I know I said I wasn't buying anymore doilies but... but... Wild Thang. Rule Breaker.
Most of them will make their way to Etsy sooner or later.
But these, well these will stay with me and become part of
this collection.
Now one last thing. I read a blog called Forgotten Bookmarks. He is a rare and vintage bookseller and he blogs about the things he finds inside the books. He also offers incredible weekly give-aways. If you have a twisted sense of humor, like mine, then
this is a must read. Cracked me up!!

Fun to see the loot from an estate sale I did not hit. I love J and N sales too...I just need to master the superpower of being at more than one sale at the same time. Worth the rule breaking girl!
Fun goodies, you know I love those rhinestones. What a funny letter. I wonder if Alice was drunk when she wrote it:-)
Haha, showing your rebellious side again! Loved the letter from Alice. I think she's a Wild Thang too!
Love your finds, especially those sweet doilies! Never can say no to those!! xo Heather
You are finding lots of pretties. I had to read the letter from Alice. So funny, thanks for sharing the link.

That's it I am calling in the faux pas police and the housewife brigade. That way they will be on you and not on me! Oh boy these are good finds and your words resonated on me yesterday when I found bliss at the thrift. Kathy said I was due...love your satin bags...now go gather more and in sandals...leave the dust behind among the polish...smiles...Renee
Rules were made to be broken, right? Especially for estate sales. I must remember that J and N sales are good. Thanks for the chuckle. That letter was too funny and I would love to have known her!
Oh yeah! I so would have snatched all those up in a heart beat! Neat stuff!
Oh I read Forgotten Bookmarks, too! You found some fun stuff! What rule is this that you have broken, hm?
