We've had a rather bad run of "estate" sales lately - most have been just bad garage sales - which almost caused us to skip one last weekend. Since this one was only a couple of miles from our house and in an area known for older residents, we decided to drop by for a quick look. An hour later, we left with our arms full. Here are some of the more interesting things I found.
The flowers on two of the hats need a little freshening but are actually rather pretty. I love the 1911 marriage certificate, even if it is in pieces, and what you can't see is a sort of family-events certificate from the same year that also has some lovely graphics. I thought the colors of the doilies and potholder were some of the best I've seen, particularly the green one - it's my favorite color and I don't think I've ever found another in that shade.
OMG, I'm swooning over that marriage certificate! I almost never find hats with flowers - sigh! Great finds!!
