A Christmas Gift for Me From Me

Every year I buy myself something special for Christmas.  I know I get gifts from my family and they are always very lovely gifts but I like to get something that I know they aren't going to buy me.  I deserve it, I work for it.

While shopping at the antique store down the street from my house for the jewelry that went on my sisters wreath I came across a few items that I have always wanted.  I left not buying any but couldn't stop thinking about them.  So on Christmas Eve morning I went back and bought my Christmas present.


 

A little doll hat stand.  She was a very good price, about half the price of any I have seen online.  Her face paint is a little worn as well as the green paint on the wood but I love her.

Maybe a top 10 and....

There are good estate sales.  Ones where you find good items at good prices.  Where you walk out of the house with items in your hand and money left in your wallet.

There are bad estate sales.  Ones that you get excited about when you read the ad and then you arrive an hour early to wait in line and then once you get in you realize the person writing the ad needs, new glasses, a better education or a punch in the face.  For many reasons.  I'll get into my pet peeves on another post though.

Then there are epic sales.  I can count on my fingers the epic sales I have been to.  At least by my standards.  And I'm thinking maybe I'll do another post on that at another time. 

This weekend I attended a sale that may be in my top 10.  Vintage clothing, antique lace trim, millinery flowers.  Need I say more?

 
Vintage hat box full to the brim with millinery flowers...love!
 
 
Loads of antique lace trim and an old wooden picture frame.
 
These are just some of my finds from this weekend.  I need to get busy, just look at my spare room!My husband is being very patient.  I am getting ready to do a massive organization project so this is my before picture.  And it is really only showing a portion of my stock/collection, whatever you want to call it.
 

 
 I'm so embarrassed!
