Estate Sale



I think I need to find a third or fourth job this summer just to accommodate my new found passion for Estate Sales. Hannah (our new roommate, in case I haven't mentioned that yet... she moved in at the start of April) and I were on our way back from lunch when I saw the sign. "I've always wanted to go to one of those." I casually mentioned. "Oh, we have to! Do you want to?" "Yes! Really? Alsdadglkjlkd!!!" And so we went. It was more than thrilling.
When we first pulled up the garage was pretty bare and yet we still found a great Victorian "Instant Garden". It's ten feet of annuals and perennials of many kinds (which is perfect since we have been talking about starting the gardens this spring!) Inside we explored a little bit and made it to the kitchen where I snapped up the Sunbeam electric mixing and Ground Cloves spice (a must have for all of my baking and cooking
Then we made it into the bedroom where we def raided "grandpa's closet" it seemed like. Hannah found like 6 great leather belts (some where for women and some were mens). I found two pairs of legwarmers that I can't wait to use this fall! There were also some great button up mens shirts but we passed on them.
The last stop was the sun room where I picked up 8 terra cotta planters! The one small sized one is cracked but usable. The 6 mini pots came in a little green house box that's actually shaped like a green house. I've been wanting to start a micro garden and these will be perfect! I think Justin said he had some seeds maybe to share with me. Hannah too loves the idea of growing self-sustaining gardens. And as a vegetarian she can appreciate the fresh herbs and spices!

It was an impromptu adventure that we both agree must happen again.
