Little Treaures...

In the Uk we have Car Boot Sales.. which is self explanitary. People sell their unwanted goods from the back of their cars.. usually in a field or car park... and selling anything from old clothes, books, toys, housewares etc to bigger items like furniture. 

In the US.. I have discovered Estate Sales.. and I love them. When someone dies... the family takes what they want...and sell everything else.. at really marked down prices. Its fascinating to take a peep into someone elses life.. seeing their home decor... how they lived..what they collected. I also feel like a bit of a snoop. And being a real vintage fan... I find some real treasures.

Today my friend and I went to a couple and I love what I found... and here's a snippet..and what they cost

A vintage looking radio.. and I have wanted one of this style for so long. And the bonus is it actually works. Perfect for $20
A pretty vintage looking clock...again.. not a scratch and in perfect working order... for $4
Two Corning ware dishes to add to my collection... and only $3 each
And lastly... another brooch to add to my collection...not only pretty.. I do wear them. Again only $3

Some of the items in the homes today really caught my eye..but they were quite pricey. But I am really pleased at my bargains.

Are you a Thrift shopper? And have you had any exciting finds recently?

Love and Hugs
