Until I started selling on eBay I had absolutely no interest in going to yard or estate sales. I still hate getting out of bed before the sun comes up on Saturday mornings to go to these sales. But I really enjoy finding interesting things to sell!
Estate sales are the most fun! Many times the prices are too high but even those sales have tables with odds and ends that are affordable and end up being the perfect find.
A few weeks ago I went to one of these sales.They had beautiful china and glassware but way too expensive for me. I continued through all the rooms and found these adorable vintage aprons and tablecloth on a table, in a spare bedroom of all places.
They were at auction on eBay last week with lots of watchers. They didn't sell so they are now in my eBay store Sales by Trudy waiting for the right person. Just click on any one of these three items to look at it and the description of it in my store.
A while back, again in a spare bedroom of another house holding an estate sale, were tables with the most awesome vintage ladies hats. Many were very pricey so I chose a selection of a few of the more reasonably priced ones. How fun are these...
Again, just click on either one of these pictures to see my actual store listing and more pictures.
There was also a really cool turban hat that I just sold yesterday.
Isn't that just too mid century chic! And how do you like the "head" that I am using for the picture? It is an old hat form that I was going to sell, until I realized - I need it!
These are just a few examples of the really cool vintage items in my eBay store that I found at estate sales and garage sales, too. Stay tuned, I go out every Saturday morning... and I also have lots of really neat items already in my store from previous excursions that I still want to tell you about. :o)
