Estate Sale Loot

 Me and my new glasses found time for two estate sales last weekend.  The first house was tiny and there was still a line outside when I got there at 1:00pm on Saturday.  Shortly after I got there they threw caution to the wind and let everyone in.  What a zoo!  I had to hold my box on my head and wiggle through the house.
I needed to stop at the grocery store to buy my contribution to the St. Patrick's Day potluck at work on Monday.  On my way home I stopped at a private estate sale BECAUSE I COULD SEE THE SIGN!!
The prices at these two sales was on the opposite ends of the spectrum.  The first one was priced so they could mark down on Sunday and still make money.  At the second one they just clearly wanted stuff gone.

I didn't score a lot but was happy with my finds.  This sweet little blue heart pillow will be heading over to Etsy when I get around to it.  It could be used as a pincushion or maybe an inspiration board to pin pretties on.

 I picked up a vintage pink chenille rug, another aluminum tray for my collection, a box of buttons {the keepers will be another post}, a vintage spice jar and a clothespin bag.  The bag is pretty worn but I have never seen a frame like this and I'm sure someone {maybe me??} will take a pattern and replace the bag.

 This wall plaque goes with a similar one in my kitchen so it is already cleaned up and hung in there.

 I bought an instant collection of button hooks.  They were priced very strangely as the ones with plain metal handles were more expensive than these.  I don't know much about buttons hooks so maybe that makes sense.  I just knew I wanted them!  8+)

This set of a button hook and a fingernail cleaner are headed to Etsy.  The antler handles are unique and I expect it was a man's dresser set of some sort and may have had additional pieces at one time.  Underneath is a big stack of plastic doilies that cleaned up very well.
It was a good to get a junk fix!
