Estate sale yummies

Last Saturday, I went to a very nice estate sale. The only problem - I was very, very late. Silly me forgot all about it until after lunch. The good part was that the workers were getting awfully tired and wanted to be done. They were making some awesome deals. Deals on what was left, that is. I don't even want to think about all of the treasures that went home with someone else.

The sale was for the late Mary Lewis Kleberg. You can read more about her by clicking HERE. She did wonderful things for Kingsville and South Texas. She will be greatly missed.

This was a really cool piece. Can you read the engraving? It was done in 1895. Sweet, huh?

So early on a Saturday

When the alarm went off this morning, I thought to myself, "Do you really want to get up and go to garage sales this morning"? Myself said, "You never know what you might be missing out on if you don't get your bones out of bed".

I am so pleased with the "treasures" I lugged home. I had been wanting one of those cool 3-tiered baskets. I can't believe it was still there. I had hit about 5 places before this one. It will be perfect for the new shop we are opening. (It turns out that I have more time to prepare for the new shop - the owner wants to put up new ceiling tiles, repaint, spruce up the floors, and who-knows-what-else. Instead of tomorrow, we won't get to move in until the end of the month.)

I bought the Coca Cola cooler to go in the shop, but my husband snatched it. I guess that's okay.
