I found one good estate sale this weekend. It was good on a couple levels. Not only did I score an avalanche of lace but I also had the pleasure of running into sweet Annette from
Andy's Attic. It is always nice to have a chance to visit with a blog friend in person!
So what is that wire thing in the picture??
I had to take it out to the driveway to get a picture because the camera looks through her. She stands about 2 feet tall. I added a few plastic flowers from my stash and she now has a new home as a faerie in Alexa's Secret Garden.
I went back to the sale the next day and found a few more things I hadn't spotted on the first day, including a little bag of buttons for 25 cents. This picture is pre-washed and some went in the trash but click it larger and you can see there were a few pretty neat buttons for the price.
One Dinosaur Food leaf had leaned waaaay over the path to the potting shed so we had to duck to get past it. I asked The Husband to just go ahead and cut it off. He got out the Ginsu knife we received as a wedding present in 1975 (I wonder if it could still saw a can in half??) and sawed it off. I was amazed he agreed to let me take this picture. He even smiled! It must have been a caveman thing.

Ha! Mr Into Vintage will allow no photos of him so congrats on sharing a glimpse of The Husband with us! And even though this has nothing to do with this post, I *love* that triple-decker fountain of flowers in the background. :-)
I would have gone back too if I didn't live so far away. After seeing this picture I REALLY want a gunnera. Your yard looks lovely.
Sweet laces, and love the dino leaf!! So neat! xo Heather
Have we had a proper garden tour? It looks like we need one. I'd like to see more (although that leaf is positively frightening!)
Sounds like a great estate sale in every way. Great buttons for a mere 25cents. Yes! No wonder it's called a Dinosaur Food leaf. I'm thinking this picture just might make it into the Guinness World Records.
Man use tool, man do good. My caveman hubby would have gone for a chainsaw - only last time he tried he put the chain on wrong and hilarity ensued. LOVE those buttons and your blog - first visit won't be my last - your newest follower.
Great finds.
Love that huge leaf, amazing

I just love that little wire faerie. What a great idea to put her in the Secret Garden. The dino leaf makes me think of the big feather fans the can-can girls use!!
