Estate Sale Findings

Last Friday I went to a "once in a lifetime" estate sale for me!  The estate was selling three beautiful dollhouses and the contents of each were being sold separately.  I bought several electric lamps for $3 each which is a small fraction of what they would  cost new.  I also got this pretty girl.  I redressed her and gave her a doll I got in Vermont many years ago.  She's a lovely playmate for the little girl I already have.

These are pictures hanging in that room.

Both of the lights in this room I got from the sale.  The dollhouse is a Hallmark ornament. 

Raggedy Ann and Andy are about thirty years old and are made from dough.

Friday night I thought of all the things I wished I had bought at the sale and made a list.  Saturday morning I went back to pick up my items and some things  for a friend whose doing a miniature tea room.  About an hour before I got there someone bought the entire contents of the houses!  This was definitely a case of "you snooze, you loose!"  I should have been there when the sale started that morning.

I also got this little bag of groceries with the receipt sticking out the top.
