I love reading about other people's estate sale finds. I'm always amazed at the luck, Laurie from Magpie Ethel, has on her Friday rounds. The girls and I were busy running errands and I spotted an estate sale sign in front of a charming house for sale.
Inside, I met an interesting lady who used to own a fancy giftshop in our town. She was selling lots of lovely French-influenced bits and bobs, various small furniture pieces, pretty lighting, framed prints, a particularly beautiful Baker dining room set, and a few linens. My eyes were instantly drawn to the crocheted hangers, the embroidered pillowcases (tagged Pine Cone Hill), and the pretty, vintage kitchen dishtowels.
In other news, Gram and Gramps are on their way home from Florida. So happy they'll be in the neighborhood once again. Gracie drew this picture for them. It's just the tip of the 'welcome home' iceberg.
I'm going to have Bob install this thermometer right outside their kitchen window at their new house. Gramps has an inordinate interest in the weather.
Isn't her picture the sweetest? It looks just like them. Except, they don't have a pet bluebird. They need to get on that, stat.

Gracie's picture is just too sweet for words. Such lovely estate sale finds. They were just waiting for another sweet home to visit. I've got my lovely new foot wrapped, iced and elevated. Those crutches are going to be interesting.

Hello Molly,
I recently found your blog and I love it! Your styling is definitely up my street. What a wonderful picture of the grandparrents that is! Sooo sweet! I found the same hangers in last year's sale at my local Cath Kidston's shop in London and love them. But those kitchen towels are just gorgeous!! Great finds! Have a lovely weekend, Patix
Good for you, Molly! attending an estate sale is one of my life goals! They just don't have them in the small towns where I always live. ♥

Nice finds. I love the vintage dish towels.
Sweet finds at the estate sale, but Gracies art is the best thing here! I so wish I had thought to frame and display my girls art when they were little, that would be framed now and treasured:>)
I drove around a bit yesterday to a few garage sales. At one, a looker (a woman) was smoking. So I left there abruptly. Asthma. Aren't people rude? You got some goodies, girl!

Hi Molly-You always have such luck finding items in your trademark Cath KIdston colors. My in-laws live in Hinsdale and there are so many cute shops there. I would love to go to an estate sale held by any one of those prior shop owners!
What a lovely drawing so sweet! Those estate treasures were just waiting for you!
Take care
Denise
Beautiful finds, Molly!
Gracie's drawing is adorable. I can imagine up a whole story about that sweet artwork. Very cute! She is one talented girl already...:)
Happy Easter to you and your family. I hope your visit with your family is a wonderful one!
