estate sale find!

i went to the first estate sale i had ever been to. i have to admit, It was eerie and i wasn't sure how I felt about bringing a dead persons stuff home as a "treasure". The people seemed like hoarders and i wanted to take pictures but I felt bad, as I'm sure the people running the joint were family.

i somehow measled those emotions down once i found these adorable cake peda-stools at $2 each! they will house big white candles beautifully..in our new home that i have already bought the paint for. oops! they are a much nicer colour in real life. maybe i should have turned some more lights on. in our new home that i have already bought the paint for. oops!





eek!

I also found these great frames, they were a bit overpriced for the condition of one, but the guy at the sale gave them to me for $12 without me having to bargain. How do you bargain with a grieving soul anyways?!?



They both had the same picture in them, i've cleaned them up and painted them white. They look pretty good now. I think i might make a thing out of garage sales & estate sales. I'm looking for furniture to refinish for the new place.. seeing as it's almost 3x the size!

tootles for today kids!
