pictures of estate sale finds


My first estate sale find.  Paid about $5.00 for it and had it rewired for about $8.00 It is very cool as you can see.

Hello Tag Poppers

Today is the day for tag popping.  I am showing you some of my finds during my previous treasure hunting escapades. I have mentioned that I enjoy the process of finding a treasure and have often thought I would sell some of my finds, but I get emotionally attached to my finds and haven't ended up selling anything.  I know I could make money on my finds but since I only buy what I like, it is hard to part with my stuff.  

Below is what I believe is a chinese intaglia that I bought for $7.60. It was in a cheap frame, laying on a dresser and everyone was passing it over.  I wanted it and once bought and safely in the confines of my car, I took it out of the cheap frame and admired my find.  I have asked many folks what exactly this is and the most helpful information came from a friend who is from China.  She said it is a story that would be with other pieces that also tell stories.  Together, they would tell a bigger story.
