Quick Estate Sale and Other Stuff

Estate sales are getting fewer and fewer so when there is one it's pretty crowded. I went to this one on the second day and there was lots of people there. 

This is the house

A super cute ranch about 4 miles from my house. It's 1,800 sq ft and they are asking $389,000. Pretty steep price I think but it's in a popular subdivision. 

I couldn't get many pictures because there were too many people around, so I took these off of Zillow so you could see how cute the house is. 

There were a few random things. 

Several formal dresses. They were very pretty. They ranged from $25 to $100. 

A solid wood bingo set. Actually, there were two of them. $25 each.

 

Here's a picture of one of the bedrooms. 

That circled plant stand is one of the things I bought at this sale. 

The other is these pinking shears. 

Total spent: $16

Here is that plant stand in our spare room.

It's perfect for the area I wanted it in. Also note the Thanksgiving cactus is blooming! 

Here's a closer look. 

It's so pretty! 

In other news I saw this on one of my walks last week. 

I sent it to my daughter with the caption! 

We got a new ice machine at work. 

It makes little tiny squares of ice, perfect for chewing! 

That's it for me for now. A few things have happened at work that made me consider quitting but so far I'm hanging in. One of those things was fighting to get Thanksgiving off so I could host. 

But I managed to get it off and I'm having 10 people over. It should be fun! 

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving full of good food, family and fun! 

See you the next time and thanks for stopping by! 

Fancy Estate Sale

 The same weekend I went to an estate sale at this house. 

According to Zillow it sold for $1.16 million sometime in 2025. 

The front entrance was pretty.

Here's the kitchen. 

This dining set was pretty. 

It was priced at $1,600. 

Never heard of a Rotato before. 

I wonder how well it works! 

This was the master suite. 

The master bath and closets were closed so I couldn't get a look at them. I always like to check them out. 

I liked this lamp.

Not really my style but pretty. They wanted $65 for it. 

I thought these were really pretty, too.  

They wanted $15 each for them. They were pretty dirty and bet they looked great when cleaned up. I really can't use any more Christmas decorations though. 

Here's the random thing from this estate sale. 

False eyelashes anyone? Only $2!

These tables were in the basement. 

They're called tulip tables, and they wanted $25 each. 

I had my eye on a few things but decided to chance it and go back the next day when everything was 50% off. 

While standing in line to make my purchases I saw this out the window. 

I know they are a little hard to see but its two silos. This used to be farmland of course and there is no longer a farm here. I guess they decided to leave the silos in the middle of the fancy subdivision! 

Anyway, here's what I bought. 

I definitely don't need another tote, but I could not resist this one with a J on it! It's in brand new condition. Also three Pyrex containers and a brand-new set of full-size sheets for our guest room bed. I already had them open and in the washer when I took this picture. 

Total spent: $8.50

In other news, I stopped at another estate sale that was in a three-level condo. It wasn't good enough to post about but I thought this was interesting. 

It's an elevator that goes to all three levels! It reminds me of one of those capsules that you see at the bank drive through! I feel like you would get in it, push the send button and it would shoot you up to the next level! 

That's it for me for now. I'm hoping to get to a few more estate sales before the season ends. 

Right now outside it's a wintery mix of rain and snow. Mostly snow. Ugh! It's too early and I am not ready for this!

Until the next time take care and thanks for stopping by! 

Another Estate Sale

There's an abundant amount of estate sales lately. Spring and Fall seem to be the peak time for them!

I didn't take a picture of this house because this was posted on the door when I went in.

I left the number of the realtor on there in case you want to call and take a look at it! 

It was the first day, so it was super crowded. I had to park quite a way down the street.

I thought the kitchen was pretty meh for a $900,000 house. 

There were a couple pretty sets of china. 

This one was $160.00

This one was $430.00! They were both very pretty. 

This was a pretty wood floor with a tile inlay. 

There were lots of plants for sale, too. Most of them looked like they were half dead! 

Umm..ok? 

That was totally random! I did not look close enough to see the price!

There is always a stand mixer at these sales! 

This one was $350.00. Must be the fancy copper bowl! 

This fancy bird house. 

No price on it. 

These were in the basement. 

The pinball game was $130, and the slot machine was $500.00. 

I thought this vase was very pretty!

It was $40. 

I really liked this platter. 

I already have several that I rarely use so I passed. There was no price on it. 

These signs by the stairs to the basement. 

An estate sale with a sense of humor! 

I had my eye on something, but I did not want to pay full price. I took the chance that it would still be there and went back the next day. Everything was 30% off so and nabbed this baby:

I've been wanting another Thanksgiving cactus since mine died a few years ago. This one is healthy and full of buds! 

I paid $16 for it, which is more than I usually spend at estate sales but definitely worth it to me! 

In other news, I saw this hopscotch during my walk the other day. 

I was pretty impressed! 

I went to another estate sale on the same day, and I'll tell you about that one the next time.  

Until then, take care and thanks for stopping by!

The Other Estate Sale

 This next sale I went to was at this tri-level house

It was not for sale, but Zillow estimated it at $463,000. I think mostly because it sits on a beautiful 2.5 acres. 

It was outdated but not too bad. 

The kitchen

The lower-level laundry area was the nicest part of the house. 

This door was a little creepy to me. 

For comparison I am 5" 1" and this door was shorter than me! Yeah, they didn't have to worry about me entering! 

I haven't seen one of these in a while. 

It was the last day and everything was 50% off. This was $5. 

This bracelet was pretty.

It was $17.50. I just don't need another bracelet I don't wear! The earrings were pretty but they were clip-on. 

There wasn't a lot of interesting stuff but I did manage to buy one thing. 

 

This little pool table! I thought the boys would like to play with it. It was priced at $2.50 but they gave it to me for $2.

I'm going to check back in the Spring but my guess is whoever bought or buys this house will tear it down and build a new one on the lot.

In other news

My younger brother Tom and SIL Debbie will be heading to Myrtle Beach for the winter in a week, so we all got together for dinner at a restaurant called Deadwood.

That's all for now. 

See you the next time. Take care and thanks for stopping by!
