HEART estate sales!

I love estate sales and auctions. My dad and I always make a point of going to auctions mostly because it's fun to see how much some people will pay for something solely for the reason of outbidding another person. Estate sales are far more lax but nonetheless still lend themselves to great prices. For example today on our way back from apartment hunting (which was successful might I mention!) I found these fantastic items!

I got this fantatically shabby chic quilt for $3 and the pink pillow for $1

Vintage evening beaded bag $5

Vintage tote bag $5 (Ellie really liked it!)

I hope this inspires you to check out some local estate sales and auctions. They are usually listed in papers or there is a website called auctionzip.com and you type in your zip code and it lists auctions in your area. Once you register with an auction company or get in good with an antique dealer who deals with estates you will get on their list and they will let you know when something is coming up!
