$13.50 at an Estate Sale

At an estate sale, I was walking around and initially saw this Slide-n-cut and thought it was cool. I looked around the sale for quite some time, and eventually found my way back to it and decided I just had to get it and got it for $1.50.

I also got this Brownsville wool green blanket for $4.

At another estate sale, I bought these cute Fire King baking dishes for $3 each. I couldn’t resist. I had seen the round baking dish at a thrift store for $8 and had decided not to get it (as I bought a different dish instead). So I was pretty happy to get two dishes for under that $8 price.

And finally, I bought these four glass bowls for $2.

Things I Didn’t Buy 16

Here are some interesting cookbooks I saw at an estate sale that I resisted in buying. First up, this Carnation’s Easy-Does-It Cookbook. Super cute cover.

Next were some Betty Crocker cookbooks. I liked this graphic cover.

An Outdoor Cook Book.

And a Cook Book for Boys and Girls.

And lastly, Simple German Cookery.

$20 at an Estate Sale

I went to an estate sale that had an overwhelming amount of stuff. My favorite item is this vintage Lewis tan purse that I got for $12. It’s so simple and cute.

I also got this sea foam green thin belt for $2. I think it will add a nice pop of color to outfits.

And I bought this navy and white Liberty Bell scarf for $2.

I couldn’t resist this forest green Union toolbox for $4. I didn’t need another toolbox (this is my third), but I just like toolboxes…I think I have a problem. [Sigh.]

Things I Didn’t Buy 15

I seriously considered buying this Handyman’s Book. It’s super cute and in the same family as one my cookbooks. I love the illustrations. But I decided not to because I knew I was never going to actually use this book.

I liked the drawing on this Scribble pad—so very 1960s.

This book cover was cute too.

I watched Perry Mason as a kid, so I had to take a photo of this book when I came across it. I didn’t know there were Perry Mason books (although I shouldn’t be surprised…).

I love old radios—they’re just so cool looking. I have absolutely no use for them, but I like looking at them. This one I particularly liked.
