Estate Sale Finds Feb. 17, 2015

We found a couple of estate sales this weekend and one of them was really fab!   I love a house that is crammed with stuff and the sellers are motivated to move, move, move their items.  I could have spent hours there with no problem.  Let me show you some of the great stuff I got.

A wooden pizza paddle.  I want to clean it up, sand it, stain it and stencil PIZZA on it with my wood burner. 2 Log Cabin syrup 100 anniversary tins -  Chablis has already snatched one for herself.  I have no idea what the small tin that says "Carborundum" originally was, but the tin is cool so I took it.  5 vintage belt buckles - some lead, some brass and all very nice.  I loved the pinking shears because they're in their original box and are in really good condition....

5 pants hangers, a Pyrex 2 qt. casserole in the Snowflake pattern - no lid tho.  A darling little tin pencil box and a wooden box with a sliding lid....

A Snickers tin - again, Chablis grabbed that one.  A super long rolling pin with Red handles.  I bought the brand new bread tin for myself.    And here's the book that was actually my favorite buy for the day.

 The cover is hard to read but it's the "Elements of English Composition" and it was published in 1902.  Oh...  so..... cool.   I don't know if I'll keep it or sell it, but there's just something so awesome about this book.  Plus the owner's name and Chicago address - from 1924!

A square yard stick...

6 assorted license plates.  I have no idea why I love them so much, but I definitely have a weakness for license plates.  I love the colors and the designs on them.   I already have plans for a few of them at the Lake House....

5 assorted leather belts.  Very vintage and very broken in.   I've already cleaned them and later I want to put some leather polish on them.  They are wonderful.  Some are hand tooled.

A nice assortment of trinkets and jewelry that I'll be selling - perfect for those of you who like to up cycle this kind of thing into new jewelry and odds and ends.

This plastic box is in rough condition, but I liked all the buttons and old clothing labels that were inside...

And that's about it for this week.  I have to say, I had a great time at the last estate sale - great sellers and so much stuff to go through.   If it wasn't so close to lunch time and I wasn't starving, we might have stayed a little longer.  But that's ok, I have a bunch of stuff to clean, photograph and list this week.  What did you find this week?

If you see anything that you like, most items will be listed in my shop sometime this week.
