wow, what a day!!!

Hello my friends!!! I woke up today feeling super sick. I am so lightheaded. I have hardly slept for 2 nights.There was an estate sale in the next town over that started at 9 am. I felt so yucky, I thought about not going.I took a bath and got dressed and ready. I looked so super cute today, do you ever have those days? It is big for me to say that, because I have wrestled so much with low self esteem. Then when the dog broke a window downstairs, i really thought about staying home. I decided to just try to go, and I am so glad I did. Everything was a mess and I was digging in a basement with boxes covered in dirt.I was filthy and did not look so cute anymore. ha ha!! I found some treasures though(i can't get my camera to work, so my 15 year old daughter took all of the pictures with hers-sweet):

A large bench, a small bench, 2 wooden boxes, 2 wooden mirrors, a washpan and an oilcan.






This old window, cutting board, lantern and scoop:


This was an unopened 31 piece casserole set. I found this box under boxes of junk.

Under more boxes of junk I found a case of t.p.



.

all of these treasures buried in boxes


don't you just love these star mason jars? I have small ones, but this is the first big one i have seen


Want to guess what she charged me?

$40 for all of this, seriously!!!!There were ladders and washpans and old tables and jars.... I wish my husband could have been there to help me unearth things. I might go back in the morning,but I am grateful for what I found. Wait..... and that's not all.............. clearly from all my previous posts, I really wanted one of these:


I found it after I had gone in to pay. She charged me $5-- It made me happy!!!!
