Well the estate sale didn't have much. Instead of 'avid collector' they should have said 'pack rat'. It was really crappy out today - raining like crazy. There was also a TON of people there. Some people showed up to wait at 7. What the hell? It was really picked over by the time I got in there - but there wasn't much to begin with. I did score a pretty cool enamel top table that was hiding under a whole bunch of old tools and building supplies. I got it for next to nothing because the people who were running the sale were pretty desperate. I really had to clean it , but it'll make for a nice craft table. I really like the leaf design on the top.
Here's some more things I found while I was thrifting. The casseroles were really cheap, and so was the toaster. In the small package are cedar - scented garment bags. It is from '63 and still sealed. I think I'll give those to my dad. The book is the Better Homes and Gardens Decorating Book (1968). It was free!! I already have the 1956 issue, so this rounds out our decorating collection perfectly! I'll scan some of the pictures from both of the books later this weekend.

Agenda for this weekend:
Sweeny Todd at the discount theatre, and key lime pie.
Ahh. Life is good.
