Estate Sale Goodies

My mom and I went to another Estate Sale last Saturday. (Go here to see the things I found at another estate sale in May). It was one of the best sales I have ever been to!!! There was so much cool stuff! The back yard was filled with old wooden crates, boxes and windows. If I had a place to put them, I would have bought some of the crates. Here's everything I walked away with for $22.00!!!

 I love this table I found for $12.00! It has that farmhouse look I like and will go perfect in our kitchen.


 I got this old window for $2.00!

 I also got this milk crate filled with clay pots for $2.00. I needed some pots for my herbs.

 I have an idea for these knobs for our bathroom remodel. Here's Part 1 of the redo if you missed it.


 I don't know what I'm going to do with all of these clothespins, but I couldn't pass them up for $1.00.

I got this old grain sack for $.75!! They had 4 more at the sale that I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing.


 I love the label on this jar.

 I liked that this box had screen on the bottom.

 I don't know what this wood box is, but I already have it painted and ready to go in our bathroom.


I'm so excited about everything that came home with me! Now I just have to figure out what I am going to do with some of it. :)

    Fantastic finds Melissa, and the price, OMG! Why on earth didn't you grab those other grain sacks! LOL I love the table, and the label on that bottle. Vintage boxes and crates! Wish I'd gone with you to this one.

    The best part of some finds is figuring out new purposes to put them too.

    That Bemis A bag is calling to be researched.

    Nice score! You've found some interesting items. The box with the screen is probably a bulb box. Dropping by from Met Monday. I hope you'll come see the nursery I helped DD2 create.
