Well I wanted to write this yesterday, but the hubs and I were so busy that it just had to wait. But that’s okay, because it’s here now!
So after church yesterday, DH had read about an estate sale on Craigslist that said there was all this wonderful stuff that HAD to go at this estate sale and it was only for a few days. Of course, he saw a lot of hunting stuff and tools in the description so he managed to talk me into it. Not that it took much convincing because anything with the word ‘sale’ in it, pretty much gets me going!
We pull up to the estate sale and low and behold, this place is gorgeous. The house, the pole barn (yeah, that’s right, welcome to Minnesota), everything was so pretty. DH and I first walked through the pole barn because that’s where all DH’s interest was. When he walked out of there empty-handed (it was pretty picked over), we went inside. The whole house was open to walk through and purchase anything you set your eyes on!
They had all sorts of furniture, bedroom sets, living room decor, kitchen decor, patio furniture, dishes, everything! After we had walked the whole house, top to bottom, we decided to make an offer on this lovely couch. I somehow managed to make the honey fall in love with this gorgeous ivory couch that was in sort of a half moon shape, except it seats three, so picture that. It came with all these luxurious matching, silky and fluffy pillows. When the estate sale worker came over, she said that it had never been sat in, the owner had just got it! Craziness. I had to have it. So we made a bid (a low bid…) but a bid nonetheless. I figured if we were going to get it, we were gonna get a great deal on it. We’re supposed to hear by the end of today what the final offer was on the piece. We’ll see!
I also managed to lay my eyes on this gorgeous crystal Mikasa serving platter that I could not say no to. And lucky for me, everything under $10 was 50% off! So I found this other ceramic decorative pouring vase thing that was enticing to the eye and we walked out of there paying $5 and left a bid on the sofa!I was happy, hubs – not so much. His hunting goods were all sold and the four riding lawn mowers that they still had were about $2500+… so he went home empty-handed. Except for a crystal serving platter and decorative vase thing. So I think he still came out on top. At least, I did.
Of course, I’ve become interested in these so called estate sales. How fun!! Just think of all the possibilities that you could find hidden somewhere in a nook or cranny of a home someday! Naturally, you’ll be hearing more about them. Until next time!
Hearts,
Sarah
