I ran estate sales for over 25 years. Sometimes we had timme crunch and huge houses filled that were closed up for 40 to 60 years! The only thing we did was clean up the property, house of debris, get the rats and roaches out and make large paths. We let folks in at their own risk and dig. Giv prices at checkout. If they didn't like, someone in line yelled and claimed! Crazy days! Fun but so much work.
I love the crow puppet, I think it might be from the original Disney movie Dumbo . There is a scene with three crows singing “When I see an elephant fly”
My best estate sale find was a huge round Mexican picture made with inlaid yarn. So beautiful 😍 & I paid $15 for it. Enjoyed it for years & sold it for $100
I don't think i have ever been to a real estate sale. A couple that said they were but were only garage sales! This estate sale looked fun! You got some great buys! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
Talk about a blast from my actual past! The “signs” On the wall were actually hooked to your car bumpers when you visited these family attractions. I used to work for Santa’s workshop ( 1976-79) and then at the summit of Whiteface Mt. My grandparents used to own the hotel Chasm Colonies next to Ausable Chasm ( pronounced all- say- ball kazem There is a lot of history behind these attractions. Some are still there and some are not.
perfect sale dig and cheap prices! as for invasion of privacy? nah anything that personal should have been removed by family and if it wasnt then they arent concerned so shop on!
Those alphabet posters look similar to the ones that were hanging in the school I attended back in the 60's. When I started teaching fourth grade in the 70's, we were required to have a set hanging in our classrooms. Now many schools don't even teach handwriting which I think is a mistake. You found some great things at that fun digger sale. My favorite is that crow puppet. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Renee. You had a wonderful day at the sale. The pullover was a great find. And the Santa you found was groovy and an awesome find as well. This was a fun day for you Renee. God Bless you my friend. Go and find more treasure's for us to see more. Have a groovy day. Maria. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
That's so cool hon you found a lot of treasure for $15 in the bag cool have a great day be safe have lots of fun thank you so much for sharing sincerely Suszie
those signs on the door brought back memories when i was a kid the land of make believe was a great place for kids it closed in the early 89s along with the 1000 animals always remembered the black bear hanging out on a tower when we would drive through lake placid.
Glad to hear that you got the "best of both worlds" during this estate sale. Very nice menagerie of stuff for a very decent price. The Mexican pullover will fit you excellent ! Bummer you missed the treasure chest and the bottle of champagne 😄. Greets from GER, U.
Those cardboard like bells are quite old. 50yrs or so ago they were used for cemetery arrangements. Haven't seen them in years. Thanks for taking me on your treasure hunts.
My Mom had similar Silver Bells she adored. They were cardboard covered in aluminum foil. We had a florist in the neighborhood who did a lot of wreaths over the years.
Wow! That looked like so much fun! Those alphabet boards gave me flashbacks. It was always so neat to go into the school rooms in the days right before the school year started and seeing all the things on the walls. Cursive was always my nemesis. I always got an "F" and couldn't wait to get to 7th grade where I wouldn't have to use it any more. And at 57, I still don't. My signature is always a scribble anyway. 😁 So many very cool things.
Omg! Those paper bumper advertisements hanging on the closet door are so rare here in NY. Land of Makebelieve. Santa's workshop. Ausable Chasm, Frontier Town! You went in and they wired them to your bumper! . You can make a couple hundred quick bucks from collectors in the Adirondacks of New York, for just a few! I wish I could have snagged them myself!
Renee,yo uh got a few cool finds& papers.I like the old Easter cutouts& the homemade bunny.Also if you can clean& press..that costume was neat.Just looking at the neat stuff is fun enough.Material was pretty. It's been such a wet,muggy summer here in Florida,not many sales yet. Maybe soon. Take care!👍😜🌞💞🧞♀️☮
The black stuffed bear at 7:30 is a souvenir bear from our National Parks in the 1960's. I know because I started collecting them from the different parks about 1969 in yes... Yosemite which is your favorite. I was like noooooooo get the bear, lol.
I think that the woman of the home may have been a schoolteacher, or her mother that passed. Also, possibly that she had a few hobbies 1 of which may have been sewing (and perhaps making costumes for school plays or her children's. It appears that she had items that meant a lot to her, perhaps her own children's art projects. I also believe that she went on many trips or at least had a lot of dreams of traveling whereas the travel brochures came from. It appears that they had things from perhaps one of their mother and father's estate that they weren't able to part with (furniture, and a whole lot more). Either way I love your channel and watching you. You are so cute, and I know how to write "cursive" which I think should still be taught in school. My daughters are 23 years and 19 years and neither write cursive. They didn't know how to count back change until I taught them. The computer age brought many, many great things but taking away some valuable things as well. Guess that makes me "OLD" since "I was born "WAY BACK IN THE DAY!" LOL And they teach me new things every day. It looks like you found new treasures that you saved! :)💞
I think you were right about it being picked though before sale opened …not good You still got some neat stuff, I especially liked the alphabet letters, I remember them from school I think the idea behind the salt was it supposedly Kept the colors from fading or running
Some sales are more picked through than others. I’ve been to a few sales where the owners pull items last minute… caused many angry shoppers because some traveled far to try & purchase.
Boy, you sounded like you were having a great time rummaging through all the nooks and crannies. It us great when you find a company that is selling at affordable prices. They do seem to get rid of much more that way. Hope you find mire like that. 🥰🥰
The instructions on the Mexican pullover to soak in salt when you first wash it, is to fix the dyes so the colour does not run into the white. You will have to decide if the owner washed it previously or not. I would follow the instructions and then the second wash add a cup of vinegar to the water to ensure the dye is fast and won’t run.
Been binge watching your videos this past week since we had to quarantine for covid at my house. Love the bells and the cat fabric. We had ABC cards like those in our classrooms when I was a kid.
Hello Renee. I know you had such good time digging. That was a fantastic sale. So much fun stuff. That’s the kind I need to find. I love the crow, it’s so cool. The letters for school are so great, I’m sure lots of people remember those. Really cool find’s. The bunny 🐰 is so precious. I have some of my kids hand made art still. Take care. 🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🫖☕️🫖☕️🥰🥰💯💯💯💯
I have 3 yrs books from 1961-62, 62-63,63-64 Paul Blazer High school in Ashland, KY they have pics of Naomi Judd including the one she was married. My best friend went to school with her. Plus I have a 14 yr off the school yr book 1935. I will not let them go
Great video and what a cool house. You could get lost in the place there were so many turns! You can never go wrong with any Christmas stuff - even in August. The plaster Santa was the coolest find ... not to mention the awesome watercolor set. Yes, you had to add salt to that beachwear so that you could "fix" the colors, that they wouldn't fade after every wash. Thanks for the cool trip!
Renee, take every old map you can find. Some continue to add old sites even as late as the 60s and 70s. You look at family histories. I do genealogy with an old map in my lap. Metaldetectorists vwould pay a premium for old maps. They compare old roads to what Google has now. What a basement!!
Well, I'm surprised. I just knew you would get those cardboard signs on the closet door. I just looked up the makebelieve one up and someone is asking 98 obo and someone else wants about 65 for a beat up looking bumper sticker. Think that's a stretch, but I believe there was still a lot of meat on the bone there. I like the way you go all honey badger sometimes...as long as nothing gets damaged. Taco tore into an old book the other day and sent pages in different directions. I believe it was a very old copy of the Bible.
Yay! I was hoping that you had picked up the watercolor paints! I would have kept them for myself as I have become a fan of doing watercolor painting. Why can't I ever find anything like that???🤔😢
The paper "signs" in the beginning may be those things that were placed on car bumpers. When you visited those places, employees would wire them to the cars in the lot. Free advertising for them and an annoyance for the visitors. Probably very collectable today.
That pullover thing is called a Baja Hoodie or when I was in high school they called them Drug Rugs 🤷♀️ lol. Everytime I see them it makes me think of one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite movies, Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times At Ridgemont High 😉
I remember the alphabet cards that were above the blackboards, when I was in grade school. At some point, later on, they were the cursive alphabet cards that lined the blackboards. The kitten fabric reminded me of a simple quilt that my grandmother gave me when my son was born. She also made pieced quilts, but for every day use and easy wash and dry, she would take a piece of fabric and put a flannel piece as the second layer and then another piece of flannel that would coordinate with the print fabric, and then she would hand quilt around all of the little kittens and figures. After sewing it together, she would hand tie it with coordinating ribbons. These little quilts held up to lots of washing and wear. The bells are made with paper pulp, and I remember my other grandparents had some and they had silver "glitter" on them that got all over everything and yet, somehow, there was always still glitter on the bells. They would hang them over the open doorway between the LR and DR. I can still see the straggly Christmas tree, with the tinsel and the bubble lights, in front of the window and all of the packages underneath. Wow!
As an old retired teacher, I loved the fond memories of the the handwriting posters. Required for every classroom. Did you know cursive was taught as a brain exercise? Each company's handwriting textbooks had their own font. The Mexican pullover says to use salt as a mordant to set the dye.
The handwriting posters also reminded me of the chalk holders that would hold 2-3 pieces of chalk & my teacher would use that to mark the “practice lines” on the chalkboard. It also was a big deal to be chosen to clap the erasures, because then we could stand outside. Oh the good ol’ days!
@@PaperandMoose I still have my chalkline holder somewhere. Yes, my students had to be very good to go outside to clap the erasers. Our school had a pedal device with a stiff brush inside. Open a little door stick the erasers in and pedal away.
Ty for sharing. I love your content. Estate Sales & old houses are fun to explore & imagine what there life may have been like. The bells look like some I remember that were from florist planter pots, then wrapped in pretty metallic paper with a bow. The Crow Puppet looks like an old Disney character.
Boy, do I understand price it right. Every couple years I would do a garage sale with two other people. I would bring my stuff over the day before and we’d price the items. I didn’t want to carry my stuff back home so I priced it right but one of the ladies especially thought she could get better prices. I would end up selling almost everything I had and it didn’t matter if it was clothing, furniture or accessories you name it and I would always make the most money. On the other hand especially that one lady I don’t know how many years she hauled this collection back-and-forth trying to sell it and eventually she had to downsize and ended up just taking it to Goodwill. Probably Goodwill couldn’t sell it either but all her items were over priced. If you’re gonna have a garage sale don’t have it to make money it’s to clear out your house or garage.
I seen you pick up the paint set, I thought "Oh I like that!" Reminded me of a set I seen at a friends house when growing up. Should borow the script cards for cursive writing to Taco, he missed, or didn't do so well in it. I have trouble with some, and most have trouble with mine, but if I concentrate I can still write - write not to badly. Fun day! 👍👍
Great sale! Sorry I missed it. I ended up at a Church Yard/ Rummage sale in Northampton. Did the "three_peat" also!!! Some great items. I REALLY NEED TO STOP BUYING FOR A WHILE.....LOL...too funny.
Oh I could stop by for a year & still have too much stuff. It’s the thought of “But what if I find THE thing I’ve been looking for at that sale??” Hope all is well!
Great video; thanks for taking us along. I think about all the time I put into cursive every time I sign for a purchase on a screen with my finger. Oh well, I'm still glad to know how to do it. Hopefully those, and your other finds, do well for you. I took sax for a while a few years back and my teacher had me write out these 12-bar blues tunes. I had access to a couple of '30s yearbooks from Conn. College (then all women). I named the blues "shorts" with the phrases & tidbits written under the senior portraits such as: "A Perky Click of Heels Down the Hall." "White Orchids & a Whiff of Shalimar." "He's Short, Mom, But Oh My!" Annabelle Seems Used to It," and "Uncountable, Discountable Males." The tunes were terrible but the titles were fun
ONE single word gets me to the right estate sale in the listing on Craig's List .... "DIGGERS" .......... BINGO ! LOVE it . What I HATE is when ya go to an "estate sale" and the house is CLEANED OUT except for big n' BULKY (beds, piano, sofa, benches, ride on lawn mower, etc) . I HATE THOSE !!!!!!!!!!!!
Craigslist is hit or miss for me. I find more with those sales, by the time it’s the actual sale day, they’ve had a bunch of people already come through & stuff has been sold. But I do love digger sales, they are so much fun!
Good to see the Happy Hunter, well HAPPY! I love the way some of these folks store bags of old clothing...that's the first stuff I spin off! If I don't need it, out it goes! That old bed stead is similar to mine...part of my 1929 set. Gotta love the photo of that vintage semi rig. I have always liked vintage trucks. Me too...like to dig and "work" the drawers and boxes, and especially those dark basements, found a number of vintage radios and small appliances there! Those alphabet boards bring back my grammar school memories! The era of real slate blackboards, felt erasers, penmanship exercises, math problems on at the board, rainy day sing-a-longs, field trips, and of course, puppy loves, as well as falling in love with the cute teacher!!
By the time both my batteries had died, I had found a little door for an attic “crawl space”. I was so excited to see what may have been stored away in there…. Shine my light in & it’s just empty clothing box after empty clothing box. It looked like this person must have shopped at Hess’s a lot cause it looked like their box stockroom!
@@PaperandMoose Ugh, all I can think of as a home for cute little furry fellows and gals in the form of mice, rats, or squirrels! Your find reminds me of a similar situation, only this attic space was filled with old wooden cases of beer bottles, empty, naturally! Being wooden and glass, and very dusty...these were quite old. My partner friend and I cleared them out...and ended up being sold to bottle collectors. The brand was Lucky Lager. "It's Lucky When You Live In California" was their catch phrase. There were 13 cases! Wow there must have been some wild parties in that place!! There were 24 bottles per case. "Hic"! This space was sealed up for years!
The crow is probably Heckle or Jeckyl from the cartoons. They had puppets back in the day. Look them up and see.
I ran estate sales for over 25 years. Sometimes we had timme crunch and huge houses filled that were closed up for 40 to 60 years! The only thing we did was clean up the property, house of debris, get the rats and roaches out and make large paths. We let folks in at their own risk and dig. Giv prices at checkout. If they didn't like, someone in line yelled and claimed! Crazy days! Fun but so much work.
Boy , girl YOU can dig!!!!!!!!! ...The crow reminds me of an old cartoon Heckle and Jeckle...1946 (they were magpies).....Great finds!
First thing I thought of was Heckle and Jeckle, too. 😉
@@sand3882 Great minds think alike 😉
@@vaca4643 , yep! Sounds so much better than old minds think alike. 🤪
Omg! I haven’t though if them in years! Showing my age 😂
@@samanthab1923 , join the club! Kids today are missing out.
I love the crow puppet, I think it might be from the original Disney movie Dumbo . There is a scene with three crows singing “When I see an elephant fly”
My favorite kind of sale! I love digging through drawers, attics, basements, etc. So much fun!
My best estate sale find was a huge round Mexican picture made with inlaid yarn. So beautiful 😍 & I paid $15 for it. Enjoyed it for years & sold it for $100
💜 scores, good times, content, can always tell when your having a good time in the tone of your voice.✨✨✨
I don't think i have ever been to a real estate sale. A couple that said they were but were only garage sales! This estate sale looked fun! You got some great buys! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
This type of sale comes around every so often. If all sales were digging sales like this, I’d be in trouble!
Talk about a blast from my actual past! The “signs” On the wall were actually hooked to your car bumpers when you visited these family attractions. I used to work for Santa’s workshop ( 1976-79) and then at the summit of Whiteface Mt. My grandparents used to own the hotel Chasm Colonies next to Ausable Chasm ( pronounced all- say- ball kazem There is a lot of history behind these attractions. Some are still there and some are not.
Oh wow! I bet you have some great stories to tell!
How cool
I love the crow puppet
perfect sale dig and cheap prices! as for invasion of privacy? nah anything that personal should have been removed by family and if it wasnt then they arent concerned so shop on!

Treasures for sure. !! I love the fabrics. Gotta love Santa. 😁 Fun treasure hunt Little Sprite. 💗
Great Sale! Loved everything you discovered. The Santa is especially charming. Thank You for sharing all your loot. 🎅🏼
I hope you go to more estate sales like this, it was a wonderful video to watch.
Estate sales like this seem to be fewer & fewer. When I do see a “digger” sale listed, I definitely will be going!
Great video
That puppet would be cute put on a doll stand or something to hold him up , for a Halloween decoration.
Renee I just adore the Crow Puppet!!! It is wonderful!!🖤🖤🖤 Yay for digger estate sales🤗
Hey Renee. You had a wonderful day at the sale. The pullover was a great find. And the Santa you found was groovy and an awesome find as well. This was a fun day for you Renee.

Imagine being Michael and someone calls you and says: remember that Santa candle holder you were looking for!? Lol! Well it's Renee's now! Lol
Sorry Michael, Santa found a new home!
Watching and an old saying from grandpa struck me.
She be like a rabbit seeking. A lost carrot. LOL! 😄
Glad to hear that you got the "best of both worlds" during this estate sale. Very nice menagerie of stuff for a very decent price. The Mexican pullover will fit you excellent ! Bummer you missed the treasure chest and the bottle of champagne 😄. Greets from GER, U.
That champagne…. I’m sure it was from a good year! Haha
I taught elementary school for 40 years. I remember those alphabet writing cards very well.

That watercolor tin! I love the Easter die cuts.
Great things you bought at the estate sale. Congratulations
Maybe you should give the alphabet cards that are cursive to Taco Stacks since he’s always saying he can’t read cursive when he opens his mail. 😆
My Daughters Do the Same.....read my post above yours.....Kathleen Thornblad 🤗😄
Those Christmas bells are awesome! The Halloween costume is SO cool. What fun😊
The boardwalk hoodie is called a baja hoodie also known as a drug rug. Loved by hippies and surfers. I love them!
I picked up a child’s size one years ago for my son. Never realizing it had Corona beer on the back 😂
Wow! That looked like so much fun! Those alphabet boards gave me flashbacks. It was always so neat to go into the school rooms in the days right before the school year started and seeing all the things on the walls. Cursive was always my nemesis.

I really like the Mexican pullover. I like the color combination of it. That’s so cool!👍
The stuffed black 🐻 bear that was in the suitcase, was a vintage Yellowstone Park souvenir.
The old fabric and old alphabet cards are nice.
That is my favorite kind of sale too!! Digging is my happy place!

Good gets girl!!!!! Thanks for filming!

Hello Renee. I know you had such good time digging. That was a fantastic sale. So much fun stuff. That’s the kind I need to find. I love the crow, it’s so cool.

It’s nice to be able to save the old school artwork, as I’m sure eventually it would have been thrown out. Hope all is well Verette!
I have 3 yrs books from 1961-62, 62-63,63-64 Paul Blazer High school in Ashland, KY they have pics of Naomi Judd including the one she was married. My best friend went to school with her. Plus I have a 14 yr off the school yr book 1935. I will not let them go
I love the Easter bunny decor
Great finds , I like the little crow 🥰 Thank you for taking us along
Awe man, those Barbies, definitely vintage! I could tell by just the face. Hope you went back and got those!

That bed headboard and footboard was gorgeous
Old car brochures can bring good money.
The Plymouth brochure in the stack of paper you skipped over is $10 to $15 on Ebay, easy to mail.
The tin of paints,lovely
Salt sets the dye in many homespun type garments, and in garments with vegetable derived dyes 👍💯.
A digger sale. Now I'm jealous. Maybe you can use the crow puppet to attract porch kitties! Cats like to nab birds.
Another porch kitty would be great! The other neighborhood cats just like to use my yard to lay in, they aren’t really interested in befriending me.
Your videos are so much fun!! Can't believe that you came across some Swann Oil stuff! One of my dearest friends owned the Swann Oil Co!!
Yay! I was hoping that you had picked up the watercolor paints! I would have kept them for myself as I have become a fan of doing watercolor painting.
Why can't I ever find anything like that???🤔😢
That's my kind or estate sale. Such great deals 👌
Wow. What a gold mine. And literally you seemed to go way under and around that maze. Congrats on the finds and thanks for taking us
Hi Renee, you picked some really cool stuff at that estate sale.
The paper "signs" in the beginning may be those things that were placed on car bumpers. When you visited those places, employees would wire them to the cars in the lot. Free advertising for them and an annoyance for the visitors. Probably very collectable today.
I absolutely love the alphabet/ handwriting strips. As a former teacher it calls to me!
Great deals for you.
The crow will go great with the halloween outfit ; I can see you go 😁 🍀
That’s a great idea!
The alphabet strips remind me of the kind that were in my first grade class in 1957!
The colour looked right for the time period.
Those yellow boots has your name all over them Renee
That pullover thing is called a Baja Hoodie or when I was in high school they called them Drug Rugs 🤷♀️ lol. Everytime I see them it makes me think of one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite movies, Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times At Ridgemont High 😉
We had those cards in my classroom in 1970.
Good fun hunting! Ready for the next one. 👏🏻👏🏻. ~ Texas
My fav is the crow puppet 🖤
This is so fun and I love your easy going way😁Thank you👌👍

Wow a old Kirby sweeper their big bucks if it runs but if it doesn’t we’ll still could sell for parts which are not cheap either…
Hey Miss Moose..I remember those alphabet cards in my schoolroom very well!...Dickel was shocked that you passed on the bottle of champagne! 🍾 haha
Wonder what it tastes like now? They usually say they are selling the bottle & the “contents are free” 😃
@@PaperandMoose You could have taste tested it on camera. Would have made a good video! 😮
As an old retired teacher, I loved the fond memories of the the handwriting posters. Required for every classroom. Did you know cursive was taught as a brain exercise? Each company's handwriting textbooks had their own font. The Mexican pullover says to use salt as a mordant to set the dye.
The handwriting posters also reminded me of the chalk holders that would hold 2-3 pieces of chalk & my teacher would use that to mark the “practice lines” on the chalkboard. It also was a big deal to be chosen to clap the erasures, because then we could stand outside. Oh the good ol’ days!
@@PaperandMoose I still have my chalkline holder somewhere. Yes, my students had to be very good to go outside to clap the erasers. Our school had a pedal device with a stiff brush inside. Open a little door stick the erasers in and pedal away.
Ty for sharing. I love your content. Estate Sales & old houses are fun to explore & imagine what there life may have been like. The bells look like some I remember that were from florist planter pots, then wrapped in pretty metallic paper with a bow. The Crow Puppet looks like an old Disney character.
Your videos are just plain ole fashioned fun Renee! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures!
Adore the crow puppet!!
Boy, do I understand price it right. Every couple years I would do a garage sale with two other people. I would bring my stuff over the day before and we’d price the items. I didn’t want to carry my stuff back home so I priced it right but one of the ladies especially thought she could get better prices. I would end up selling almost everything I had and it didn’t matter if it was clothing, furniture or accessories you name it and I would always make the most money. On the other hand especially that one lady I don’t know how many years she hauled this collection back-and-forth trying to sell it and eventually she had to downsize and ended up just taking it to Goodwill. Probably Goodwill couldn’t sell it either but all her items were over priced. If you’re gonna have a garage sale don’t have it to make money it’s to clear out your house or garage.
Gotta love a winning day .
I seen you pick up the paint set, I thought "Oh I like that!" Reminded me of a set I seen at a friends house when growing up. Should borow the script cards for cursive writing to Taco, he missed, or didn't do so well in it. I have trouble with some, and most have trouble with mine, but if I concentrate I can still write - write not to badly. Fun day! 👍👍
My writing is a mixture of cursive & print. I’d probably have to concentrate really hard to write strictly cursive again!
Rene, I think the black bird was one of the cartoon characters called Heckle and Jeckle.
Great sale! Sorry I missed it. I ended up at a Church Yard/ Rummage sale in Northampton. Did the "three_peat" also!!! Some great items. I REALLY NEED TO STOP BUYING FOR A WHILE.....LOL...too funny.
Oh I could stop by for a year & still have too much stuff. It’s the thought of “But what if I find THE thing I’ve been looking for at that sale??” Hope all is well!
I know what you mean. My house was beginning to resemble a thrift shop 😂
@@samanthab1923 LOL....

Great video; thanks for taking us along. I think about all the time I put into cursive every time I sign for a purchase on a screen with my finger. Oh well, I'm still glad to know how to do it. Hopefully those, and your other finds, do well for you. I took sax for a while a few years back and my teacher had me write out these 12-bar blues tunes. I had access to a couple of '30s yearbooks from Conn. College (then all women). I named the blues "shorts" with the phrases & tidbits written under the senior portraits such as: "A Perky Click of Heels Down the Hall." "White Orchids & a Whiff of Shalimar." "He's Short, Mom, But Oh My!" Annabelle Seems Used to It," and "Uncountable, Discountable Males." The tunes were terrible but the titles were fun
ONE single word gets me to the right estate sale in the listing on Craig's List .... "DIGGERS" .......... BINGO ! LOVE it . What I HATE is when ya go to an "estate sale" and the house is CLEANED OUT except for big n' BULKY (beds, piano, sofa, benches, ride on lawn mower, etc) . I HATE THOSE !!!!!!!!!!!!
Craigslist is hit or miss for me. I find more with those sales, by the time it’s the actual sale day, they’ve had a bunch of people already come through & stuff has been sold. But I do love digger sales, they are so much fun!
Fun day 😀
Kathleen Thornblad from Minnesota not old....just seasoned as my Mom would say...(born in 1965)......LOL
Good to see the Happy Hunter, well HAPPY! I love the way some of these folks store bags of old clothing...that's the first stuff I spin off! If I don't need it, out it goes! That old bed stead is similar to mine...part of my 1929 set. Gotta love the photo of that vintage semi rig. I have always liked vintage trucks. Me too...like to dig and "work" the drawers and boxes, and especially those dark basements, found a number of vintage radios and small appliances there! Those alphabet boards bring back my grammar school memories! The era of real slate blackboards, felt erasers, penmanship exercises, math problems on at the board, rainy day sing-a-longs, field trips, and of course, puppy loves, as well as falling in love with the cute teacher!!
By the time both my batteries had died, I had found a little door for an attic “crawl space”. I was so excited to see what may have been stored away in there…. Shine my light in & it’s just empty clothing box after empty clothing box. It looked like this person must have shopped at Hess’s a lot cause it looked like their box stockroom!
@@PaperandMoose Ugh, all I can think of as a home for cute little furry fellows and gals in the form of mice, rats, or squirrels! Your find reminds me of a similar situation, only this attic space was filled with old wooden cases of beer bottles, empty, naturally! Being wooden and glass, and very dusty...these were quite old. My partner friend and I cleared them out...and ended up being sold to bottle collectors. The brand was Lucky Lager. "It's Lucky When You Live In California" was their catch phrase. There were 13 cases! Wow there must have been some wild parties in that place!! There were 24 bottles per case. "Hic"! This space was sealed up for years!
As Im watching this just found out Olivia Newton John passed... as well as Teenage head Gord Lewis :( too much sadness
The Mexican top is lovely
This was so amazing!
