Why I love estate sales:
1. You get to walk through people's houses. It's cool and kind of creepy at the same time. Learning about other people's lives only by looking at their stuff is fun- I get to play anthropologist.
2. The people holding the sales are trying to get rid of lots of stuff fast, that (usually) means really good prices!
3. Sometimes I find thing(s) I want. Like this:
I had to sign a waiver pretty much saying I wouldn't sue if I got hurt (seriously). I climbed into/through a rickety old barn full of everything from cars, boats, and furniture to cookbooks, clothing, and tools. I got to walk through someone's house and I tried to enter a room that said "do not enter". Sitting on the driveway in an easily accessible spot was this cart. I grabbed it and asked the seller what he wanted for it. I wasn't going to pay more than $10.00. I got it for $3.00. Perfect.
I spent more time than I anticipated sanding away rust and paint and then I spray painted the entire cart light blue. It looked so much nicer already!
It's perfect as a drink cart.
Or breakfast/brunch drink cart- because those are my favorite meals of the day :)
