I try and keep things fairly simple, so please make sure you follow the instructions. Please only ONE link per week. Lastly, if you link in, LINK back to my blog, so everyone can see all of the vintage goodies on display that day. If you don't link back here, they won't know who to visit......thanks so much. Lastly, try to make an effort to visit the other participants. I know myself, I get so behind and busy, but this year, I am going to do my best to visit each week. 

I'm LATE.....I know.....please forgive me!! I have a very good reason for being late however! One of my friends called last night and asked if I wanted to go to an estate sale BEFORE the estate sale. SQUEEE.......are you kidding!! So....I am late getting home this evening. The sale is not until Friday, and I seriously think I may have to run back over there tomorrow evening. 

Have you seen the after Christmas commercials for the after Christmas sales?......the frantic ladies.....running from one direction to another.....brain on overload at all the great stuff......piles in your hands and arms, then those turn into piles on the floor.......trying not to miss a thing......well, that was me!! I had a car load when I left....and the worst part of this story was my husband was home when I pulled up. ahem.......well.....we will just stop that fun story right there and not talk about when I got home!

I took a quick snap of these cute vintage pot holders, they have not been soaked or cleaned up, but they will be good as new when I am done with them. The lady was a quilter, embroiderer, and her house was full...WAS is the key word here, I brought much of what they had home with me. I left the quilts, but I don't think I can get one of them out of my mind. ALL HAND DONE...and NEVER used....and only $60.00. A Steal....I think I am going back for one of them tomorrow.

Don't you think these are the cutest things? Can't wait to go through all my boxes, some of it will be listed in my etsy shop, but lots of it will be for me. Oh...and did I mention I bought a sewing machine??? Yea....that one was a little hard to explain....poor Steve just went to bed.......I'm not so sure he was happy.

I have always wondered why when I stand in line for over an hour to be the first inside an estate sale, I never find the things I found tonight....I think I have my answer. Friends of friends get to have first shopping rights and get all the good stuff. I hate to think what was already sold today before I got there as I heard the guy talking about a truck load that left early afternoon. Nonetheless, I can not be too greedy.....I hit the mother load and I am super happy about that!! The lady had two sons, and the daughter in laws did not want a thing. I'd love to send them a thank you card! 

Special thanks to my friend Joy, for calling me....it was the most fun in a short hour I have had in weeks!

 Have a great Vintage Thingie Thursday.
