Estate Sale Finds!
Jan. 28th, 2012 03:20 pmI've had some pretty good luck and a lot of fun at the few estate sales I've gone to. Granted, I've only been to a handful, but still - it's enough to get me good and hooked. Earlier this week I hunted down a few via Craigslist, and yesterday was the day. I hit 4 total sales, and my journey took me from south Arlington to Irving, and finally to the Bishop Arts district in Dallas. Someone was smiling down on me, because I got quite a haul!
I should mention that I chose my sales based on the fact that the ads mentioned either sewing or crafting items. I've learned that you can pick up a lot of vintage or antique sewing stuff on the cheap at these places, and that's exactly what I was going for. There are a few specific pieces I keep hoping to find, but mostly I was just going to see what I could find.
