Today's Estate Sale Finds - Panorama City - Free Day

It was advertised as a curb alert, but they were letting everyone in the house and the yard because there was so much stuff left over.  It was a zoo.   I missed out on two tables that I really would have liked to have... it was overwhelming.
We must have made 6 trips back to the Jeep.  It was crammed full.  We even had some things sticking out of the windows!  Good thing Kellye only lives one street over.  Once we got back to her house we had to seperate everything because we were just throwing things in bags.
My finds...
An unused Easter egg dye kit to add to what few Easter decorations we have...



A hot pad...


Some aluminum stuff...


Christmas ornaments...


Wooden spools of thread...

 & the bases for two of the trees we got on Saturday...
