Friday I stopped by a FABULOUS Estate sale in Overland Park Kansas.  Here's what I saw:

Nice house… beautiful fall leaves.

The Estate Sale was run by Past Memories.. They were fantastic.. super nice

with fair prices

I really like that double handle pot.. too bad I *just* noticed it!

I love stuff in the garage…

BOOKS!

Beautiful quilts from the 1930's

Dishes

more Dishes..

kitchen.. and crystal

My mom would put this kind of yarn-ribbon in my hair when I was a kid.

HATS!

#1 checking out the stuff

Old books and paintings.

glassware

I bought quite a bit of stuff.. but forgot to take a photo!  Hopefully I'll get that done after Trick or Treating tonight!

Yesterday I ventured to the big city of Leawood.. and found a

pretty neat garage sale.  The problem with this sale.. it was

HIGH DOLLAR..

I love these.. What are they called? (they were $75.00 each)

I liked this big entryway type light..

Loved these dishes.. but they were like $20 – $100.00 a piece!

See this little pig?  That’s an American Bisque Polka Dot

pig.  I collect those.. but this one was more than I wanted

to pay..

See that cute little pig? It’s a Fitz and Floyd..

I love the big wood head and the coat rack.

I love the house.. I wish I could have seen the inside..

Loved this bed.. it was marked $600.00.

#2 found quite a few books he wanted.. and a lovely vintage

leather Kenneth Cole messenger bag.. and just like his grandpa

he hondled them and got it all for less!

a small sign that makes my heart beat faster

I read about this sale in Tuesday’s paper, it didn’t really excite me.  WHY? well.. Ottawa Kansas is not known for their FABULOUS estate sales.  Every sale I’ve ever been to that was called an estate sale here in Ottawa has always been a garage sale, with ok stuff.  Never a true estate sale, where you get to walk through the house.  Imagine my surprise when I pulled up to this house and nothing was on the lawn!

I couldn’t help but take some photos of the beautiful garden in the backyard

#2 & 4 peeking out a window in the office

Some of you might say.. WHY would she take those kids to an estate sale with her?  I can’t help it, not only do they beg to go, they have been trained SO WELL.  Even #4 looks for important stuff to sell, and loves to take pieces to the cashier to set in our pile.  #2 likes to hondle the price down on items. Each one of my children like to be a part of this business we call eBay.

Super cool overlook into the Living Room. I wasn’t brave enough to walk on it.

My loot. See that Christmas topiary? It’s MINE.. all MINE and only 2.00 I have a small

Christmas problem. We won’t discuss that now.

Some uncut 1970′s patterns and PRISTINE cotton Baby Clothes, buttons in a box, red velvet (for me).

PERFECT Fitz & Floyd 8 Santa Mugs and pitcher

Super cool vintage tiles, jewelry, and model

How cool is this sequin beaded beret hat?

A stash of Needlepoints (I collect those)

See that Crayola Box? It is FULL of crayons… and original sharpener.
