Estate Sale

Please don't forget to enter my giveaway of many prizes!  My Facebook $25 gift certificate giveaway is in the "Discussions" section of my Facebook Fan Page.  Hardly anyone has signed up for that one so far.  Not sure if the discussions thing is too confusing or if people just don't have the time for another click.  Oh well!  (Also, my birthday sale goes until I'm getting ready for bed tonight!  I won't be mailing anything while I'm gone, so if you had your eye on something, get it now! BIRTHDAY11)

I stopped at an estate sale last week and found some awesome stuff.  All sheets were $1, and I limited myself to these two.

This one has a couple discolored spots, but it's so awesome that I don't care and will cut around them!

I also found this vintage Sears bath and hand towel set.  I love these kinds of towels.  They're so soft and absorbent!  Yes, I can and will buy vintage towels.  Some people say this is gross, and to these people I say, "I WASH THEM REAL GOOD."  I pop this stuff in George Washingmachine on HOT with a little bleach.

I grabbed this one too.  I think it will be an awesome bathmat.

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for, the best birthday present the universe could bestow upon a lady...

Chippendale's playing cards!

These are from 1982 and are one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

Does anybody have any tips for awesome places to check out in Seattle?  I'm thinking awesome craft stores, thrift stores, and anything fun that we HAVE TO DO.  Please let me know.

Agreed, Fremont is a great district. Near by, also, is Wallingford...another unique little area. Also, I'm pretty sure you would enjoy the scene happenin' on Capital Hill. If you get downtown....go grab a bite and a drink at Sit and Spin. If I think of anything else I'll shoot you an email.
