2 estate sales in one day! The first one was in McHenry and what a hoarder house it was. You could hardly get through the hallways, never mind look through everything in each room. The prices were kind of high and I didn't see a lot of treasures that I had to have. I finally found 2 vintage metal flower frogs. Another woman grabbed the smallest one. I got the medium for $8 and large one for $10. I paid a lot for them, but I never see them anymore. Just watch, now I will find them everywhere. I also found a vintage Illinois serving tray for 50 cents, a Pyrex measuring cup for $4 and a French vintage handbag for $5. Overall, it was fun. I waited for 45 minutes for my number and for them to open at 10am. (Later than usual for an estate sale) and a half hour to finally get in when they did open. There were so many people there. One guy had come at 3:30am to put his name on the list to get in. It wasn't so cold when you stood in the sun. At least there were people to talk to. I met Cindy. She sells on Ebay under the seller name: threetangerines. She was informative and fun to talk to. I need to check out her site. I told her to check out my brothers Ebay site: junkentreasures.
The second estate sale was in Crystal Lake by Caring Transitions. It was a nice house on Pomeroy, but I didn't find anything.
I spent so much time today preparing for my Allium class at Gardenfest tomorrow. It should be a fun and informative day. It definitely gets you in the mood to garden.
