KEY TO MY HEART . . .ESTATE SALES!



Hello Ladies: Thought I would give you a quick look at all the fun things I purchased this weekend at an Estate Sale. The items I am about to show you cost me $33.24. You know when you just hit the Mother Lode! That's what happen on Friday morning.



I had been invited to an Estate Sale in Glendale, so my friend and I traveled all of 5 minutes to this amazing home. The lady that lived there, loved the exact same things I love. It was so hard not to buy everything in sight. However, as luck would have it, I was broke, so I really had to pick and choose. These were my picks.





You see that great Canister Set. It is Lefton, the pattern name is Americana Rose. I have wanted this set forever. However, it was too expensive for me. The Tea pot alone, is worth $100. I am going to sell it because, I already have one. Interested, let me know? I also have the sugar and creamer. I did not own the pitcher however. Remember is was all part of the $33.24.




Do you notice that beautiful hand mirror? Did I ever tell you I collect hand mirrors? Well, I do and this one has this great Art Nouveau lady on it. It is really so pretty. Much better than the pictures.



The two French hens were $2.50 each, I could not pass them up. They are both quite large.




There are a pair of tea cups I will show you closer on a Tuesday. One of them is a set by Mudd Pie. I love the look of Mudd Pie, it has a fairy tale look that is hard to resist.



Of course the sterling silver tray and the cranberry glass is amazing. I also got some milk glass hands that are just stunning. Did I tell about the sterling silver spoons? It was so fun. I guess I am glad, I was broke because it could have been real bad. I loved everything she had. Anyway, just had to share the "loot"!



The lady was not giving discounts on items until Sunday, but for some reason, when I asked she said yes. I was the only one she gave a discount to. God was on my side for sure. I am posting this at mid-night. I am not too excited! Looking forward to see you on Tea Cup Tuesday! Hugs, Martha

    Wow!!! Everything is gorgeous!!! I am especially in love with that canister set.

    I can hardly believe the price you got. I never seem to get bargains like that. The estate sales I've gone to have been quite expensive.

    I hope you are doing well. You have been on my mind...and I miss you.

    Love,
    Patti

    Oh Martha. What a wonderful estate sale you found! I would have LOVED to have gone there with you. Oh Martha. If I lived near you, we would be a DANGEROUS DUO. Ha! Your new treasures are absolutely gorgeous. Oh! Those rose cannisters and tea pot are so lovely. I even liked the roosters, too, and I definitely would have purchased them. Ha! Have a great rest of the weekend, Martha. Love, Susan

    Great finds. I can hardly believe all you got for the price. It is another one of God's many blessings. We went to an estate sale this past weekend as well. I found many nice things and spent less than $40.00 as well.

    Martha,

    I am in complete awe of your lovely finds. If you are still interested in selling the lovely teapot, I am an eager buyer. Of course, everyone who follows your blog has fallen in love with the canister set also. Didn't God bless you at that sale?

    I do so enjoy your lovely teacups and the treasures you always photo with them. I look at them over and over and am so glad that I am not the only teacup collector around.

    Blessings to you today, sweet friend.

    In Grace,
    Marie
