My giant $12 clam shell……

 

I haven’t been to an estate sale in years.

Years ago I used to go all the time and always  found wonderful goodies.

After a while I quit going because I never found anything and became frustrated.

Then last weekend on a whim the Mr. and I went to one.

The fluorescent sign caught my attention and I thought why not?

The house was packed….as in could hardly move around.

At first I didn’t see anything and then I spotted this huge clam shell.

At first I didn’t pick it up.

My house is so full now I really need to be selective

and only buy things I have a spot for.

So, I walked around a bit but kept thinking what a good deal it was.

I knew I would regret it later if I didn’t buy it.

Then the Mr. pointed out that everything was 1/2 price!!!!

That made is $12…..SOLD!!!!

I cleaned it up with a little soap and water……

and after a little re-arranging I was able to fit it on my coffee

table without having to relocate half the house.

They had a couple of silver trays I came home without……

now I am kicking myself for not buying them.

Of course that gives me a reason to go

to another estate sale the next time I see one right?
