Musings on Saturday's estate sale

So the excitement builds..an estate sale..right around the corner...I never know what to expect...will it be good and I walk out with a bag of goodies or come out empty-handed?  Well, it was definitely a goodie.  The sad part was the Mom had passed away and her children were selling off her collectibles and clothing that they did not want.  You can tell alot about a person looking through their drawers and closets.  Besides seeing what size they are (the obvious) you get to see a window into their personality.  She was a hip, colorful, person and her clothes reflected that.  I got a bunch of tops for my Mom, a dress for me, a hip fringe vest, a shawl-sweater in my favorite redhead colors and shoes!  Jill made out with four pairs of new shoes (or used shoes, but new to Jill) all short boots, two blacks, one white and one cool hiking boot.  All for $25!  What a deal.  Now the big question remains, will she wear them or will they end up in the bag for donation.  For $25, I will take the risk.  The lady of the house loved lots of interesting things, I got 2 unusual Israeli coins, one with the Shema on it, and a really neat vintage tiffany lampshade lamp.  Love it!  I will post photos later.  Gotta run, literally, time to exercise...
