This morning Dave and I headed out to an Estate Sale about 15 minute north of us. Being that it was "out in the country" and Sunday morning, I had hoped to be in the top 15 on the list to enter. Boy were we wrong. The sale started at 10:00am and we arrived at 8:45. I was shocked to see us as numbers 31 & 32 on the list. We headed off for breakfast and returned an hour later. It was about 10:30 when we finally got in and I was in love. There were so many great colonial antiques - chairs, boxes, books, tables, etc. The owner of the Estate Sale Company had even said she had never seen antiquities like this before. I had to agree. Much of it was true colonial America. Items from early-mid 19th century, built in Massachusetts, Vermont, etc. There was even a diary series from 1852-1854. They were incredible, as they should be for $1500.
Unfortunately, all my heart's desires were too steep for my wallet. However, D found two things he couldn't live without for only $20: a 200-ft extension cord and chain saw - perfect for Halloween! I also walked away with a $2 glue gun and 20 glue sticks. Not sure what I will use it for, but I know I have wished I had one in recent months.
Later today we are going to try out some meatball recipes....
