Today's Estate Sale Finds - Panorama City

Today was the last day of the digger estate sale, so we went back.
I found some lime green Christmas ornaments, bottle brush trees, a pixie elf head, a few small Santa's, and some brass napkin rings...


Some old icicles and Santa & reindeer...


Some beads for crafting...


Already strung...


A wool pom pom thingy...


A hand towel...


Two plant stands...


 

And an old nighty.  I hope it fits...


MDH found some old rusty things...


One spur.  The other was nowhere to be found...


A spike and part of a plow...


Chain...


And some legs...

Tonight's Blooming Cactus

Eight flowers tonight, but will be gone tomorrow.  They smell so good...





Today's Estate Sale Finds - North Hills

MDH had to work again this weekend:(  So I was on my own...
I went to three different sales.  I only bought things at one sale, the same house as last weekend...
I got there about an hour and a half before it ended, and the Salvation Army truck was already there.  Nice things were being donated.  Things I would have loved to have, and could have gotten dirt cheap, but I don't have anywhere to put them.  They had to have the house cleared out by Wednesday.  
Didn't find or spend much, but I am super happy with what I found. (Some things were free!!)
Beads for the window...


And jewelry to take apart and string...



A washcloth.  I love these colors...


Last week they had an awesome, but huge lamp.  I wish I would have taken a pic of it.  The lady running the sale said that she had taken it home.  She didn't think anyone would want it.  I did, even though I don't know where we would put it.
I love this one, and it is half the size.  I Just can't decide where it should go... 


I love this color...


I cleaned it up and put it in the living room.  Then moved it to the other side of the living room.  Then the bedroom.  
I'll leave it there for a few days and see how I feel about it.


A huge swag lamp.  The shade was perfect, but the chain needed some serious cleaning...


Where to hang it?


It will stay on the porch until MDH gets back to help me decide...

Today's Estate Sale Finds - Panorama City

MDH only found two rail road spikes...


I found a plant stand...


A few ornaments and a Pyrex 501 lid...


And a color wheel for our someday aluminum tree.  Even though the green has a melted edge, it works!  
They had two trees, but they were out of our price range.  Maybe they will still be there on Sunday...

A quick trip to Santa Barbara

To see Steely Dan...


This is a great small venue.  Probably my favorite.  You can see the ocean off to the side of the stage.






We stopped at a thrift store and MDH found a few records...

Weekend Crafting

I strung some new strands for the window with the beads from an estate sale...


Slowly, but surely...



And MDH made a fence out of old sunflower stalks to keep the gladiolus from falling over into the walkway...
