Saturday morning Alyssa and I set off to scour the metro area for "treasures" (wedding decorations and household items at estate sales). We shared a pint of frensh, Hood strawberries and sauntered through rows of antique dishes, old clothes and various kitch. Alyssa was drawn to old dictionaries and decanters while I gravitated toward lamps and old prints. It was quite lovely. We laughed at odd junk and wondered at the amount of dishes people accumulate over a lifetime.
Our great finds of the weekend included a small sofa bed, 2 ceramic bowls, a large antique milk container, 3 glass vase-type items, a dictionary from 1950, a large bookshelf, and two vintage chairs that need a little love.
Now all we need is an apartment...
so fun!! I got a chair for my room from an auction we went to (you probably already new that) but anyway like i said so fun (and exciting))
ReplyDeleteAh, estate saling and local produce. So fun! Let's go again!
ReplyDeleteI looked my word up in the online Oxford English Dictionary, and apparently some of the word parts were originally greek. I don't like that Ms. Estate Sale knew that and I didn't. But I ended up with the rad dictionary, so I'm still the winner. :D
