Who doesn't love Wonder Woman?

These may have had a different meaning back in the day, but they are still pretty awesome!

Can't you just picture a man smoking his pipe in here while the wife gets ready for bridge?

I've seen some unbelievable artwork over the years.

It’s been a wild ride so far. And I’m looking forward to more when I get back! See y’all in July!!

There were two items that made my faves list immediately and they are worth mentioning again here because these were such unique pieces. Bought by a lovely local, vintage dealer, Betty Crafter, these two sofas went to a good home. She also wrote a blog post on her finds at this sale, worth checking out. She got some of the best stuff!

Here they are in their new home (for now):

Next up, the Spirograph! Do you remember this? Not only was this one of my favorite finds in this sale, it caught the eye of many shoppers. It went early on the first day and people came in looking for it the rest of the weekend.

Another fave, was this vintage hair dryer. It had never been opened! When I found it, I pulled it out of the box and it was pristine! Still in the plastic and not a speck of dust on it.

And finally, you know me, there’s no monkeying around when it comes to vintage. HA!

Monkey in the middle....

See ya at the next estate sale. Coming sooooon.

Our last estate sale, the estate of Grace Schroeder had the basics in vintage, but also had some amazing artwork, antique housing fixtures, and some spectacular personal items from the original owner.

Thought I’d share a few of my favorites from this sale, just for fun.

These Seatmore chairs, built to literally, “seat more” people, were simply stunning. I would love to be able to see them in their new home.

Nowadays, people watch television, play sports or surf the internet in their spare time. Seeing these handcrafted wires trees reminded me of a time when people used their creativity simply to unwind.

Grace Schroeder painted the Austin skyline several times, but I just loved this hand painted purse.

Modern plumbing has certainly given use more comfort, but the hot and cold faucets are so priceless in their simplicity. Loved all the antique fixtures at this estate sale!

Running hot and cold!

There were so many more unique and unforgettable treasures at this estate sale last weekend. What were some of the treasures you took home?

Next up, another sale in a few weeks, the vintage is out-of-this-world! Stay tuned!!!

I have been fascinated with the interest in certain items on my Pinterest boards and thought it would be fun to share my most popular Pinterest repins.

Top of the list is this fuzzy head vintage Ken doll.

Classic Ken doll.

And more dolls. Raggedy Ann dolls are cute and remind us all of our childhood.

Of course, it is Pinterest. Next up, most popular stuff is on my Sewist board.

Antique Lace. We've had a lot of this stuff lately. Must be in the air.

Vogue patterns never seem to go out of style y’all. We had about 100 at our last estate sale, and they were a popular item.

Chic Vogue patterns. I bet these made some awesome vintage/modern dresses.

Finally, on my Ephemera board, a classic Texas repin.

Well, we do live in Austin, Tx. Go Longhorns!

Pinterest is really fun. I am enjoying finding new ways to share items upcoming for sale and post past photos. Come check out my Pinterest boards. And feel free to shoot me an email if you want an invite so you can start your own boards.
