The last few days I've been working on my mother and father-in-laws estate sale.  They have some of the coolest stuff… If you live near Lee's Summit Missouri.. You should come check it out!  You can also say hi to me!   The estate sale runs Thursday May 24- Saturday May 26th)  You can see more photos of the "big stuff" here and get the address!

Majolica and pottery

dolls

Roosters.. lots of roosters

It feels like all of last week was taken up with one thing, my youth groups Tamale Fundraiser.  Our Church's kitchen is still under construction, so we made the tamales in my kitchen.  Here's some of the photos:

Masa Harina.. is messy

Do you know how much taco meat this pan will cook?

19 pounds.

These two get a little loopy after working in the kitchen all day.

Really..

We had already thrown away most of the butter carcass' before this photo was taken.

Here's the line of people getting their food.

This hand (#1) is an expert at tamale steaming… but don't ask her to steam yours.. because she only works for me.

Today was Garage Sale Day in Ottawa, Kansas.  Usually we find some great stuff.  Today there were WHOLE STREETS without a single sale… What's this world coming too? (I did find a few things that I'll blog about later)  So what's an eBay Queen and her minion to do?  Pretend  the minion are super models..

#3 and #3.5

I wonder if she planned her outfit because she knew we would find some red suitcases?

#3.5

3.5 is singing  "Chicago" right about now..

See you later ladies!

I'm not sure what these trees are called.. but they smell like fish.

Beautiful pinky-peach bush.

Antiques and a spring tree.

Up close view of the fish-y smelling flowers.

I love this building.  It use to be the US Post Office.. then the SRS building. 

It sits empty now.  I think they want $150K for it.  It's a pretty cool building.
