Hopefully I didn’t add any of the pictures twice…sorry if I did…
I was up and out of the house today before 6am. I was at the first estate sale a few minutes after 6 (ad was for 7). They opened about 6:30 and I was the first one in the door. I got most of the Fenton milk glass there. It was all out on the back deck. Inside the house they had tons of the maple furniture. So you knew the milk glass had to be someplace near by. And it was. Not a bad little score there.
Then it was off to estate sale #2 The ad was for 8am…and I was in line by 7. But I was number 3. To bad they just had nothing to speak of. I think I got the airplane model and a few other pieces of junk there. Then It was off to estate sale number three. I was there a few minutes after 8 and the ad was for 9am. It was a bit better. I was able to pick up some sterling and a few other pieces including the green lid. Then about 9:15 I started to go around to garage sales. So most of the pictures you see are later in the day. I did take a picture of the 3rd estate sale house when I was waiting outside.
All in all today I didn’t find any one item that will break the bank. At least I don’t think so…I haven’t looked it all up yet. So maybe something is a sleeper? But I did have a pretty solid day and I picked up a lot of stuff to sell at the flea market. Cash in hand is always nice. And on the plus side I didn’t use much gas at all. Because most of my day was spent waiting in line at various estate sales. I only logged about 35 miles on my truck. So it saved me at least 4-5 gallons of gas…and with gas prices they way they are that’s always a good thing.
The weather was very nice today. 60 when I got up…but its hot now…over 90 (93 to be exact). Very dry and breezy…I thought there would be more sales out today. With the good weather and all. But there just wasn’t. Not to say I didn’t see a lot of sales. I did…but not as many as I thought there should be. But when is there ever as many sales as you think there should be. And out of curiosity am I the only one who drives down the street and see an old beat up house with an overgrown front lawn and wishes they would have a sale?
