Yes. Another typewriter. I just couldn’t resist it…even though I have one exactly like it in my office. I love estate sales. I knew it was a good price at $30, but I told the woman running the estate sale that I would be back the next day when everything goes half price. She said, “take it now, and you can have it for $20.”
I took it, brought it home and my husband just shook his head.
I also found this adorable, handcrafted (glass? It’s really heavy) snowman (a mere 50 cents) to add to my collection:
And this lovely old electric conductor – blue, my favorite.
These awesome vintage license plates – anyone have any cool ideas for those?
And how about this metal pitcher? Love it!
And look… a stash of wooden spools, old wood dominoes, old rulers, and misc. game pieces.
There’s actually more stuff, but I was running out of light to take photos. Did I mention that I love estate sales?

NICE! My hubby used to fix typewriters. He also used to collect insulators (opposite of conductors). You two would get along! :)
OH! btw...love that old ruler! I have one that's similar!
I love estate sales too! Good thing we don't shop together because we would be fighting for the same things! I have three old typewriters that I just love.

....hahahahaha....Renee you're INCORRIGIBLE but I LIKE your way of thinkin'....!!
I'm LOVIN' your typewriter & am terribly ENVIOUS of your calm demeaner....I reckon I would have been hoppin' around like a chook....hahahahaha....!
THANK YOU so much for your comment re my recent 'mishap'....Although I winced when I read of your disaster with the liquid sander, it made me feel better to know I wasn't alone....I'm AOK now save for a raspy throat that'll linger a while to remind me to not be so head strong in future....!!!!!
Here's hoping you have a WONDERFUL week & are INUNDATED with estate sales....!!
Cheers from Oz,
Tamarah :o)
I have seen my husband shake his head a few times too...
But i will agree... great finds!
Wooden spools are awesome!
Fabulous finds, love that typewriter!
It looks like you found a good sale!
Great finds! My Dad had an old Underwood like that...why did I not keep it! Especially when I think of all his Masters Degree work and tests he typed on it!
I also enjoy going to estate sales. I tend to get depressed as well, but still keep going. You found some interesting and different goodies.
Great finds! It looks like what I learned to type on. Love the tin pitcher too! I don't go to many sales, no one to go with... :-( Bird house roofs are great to make with the license plates. Have a blessed week. Debbie
Great vintage finds! Looks like you had fun.
I've got a thing for vintage typewriters lately too. Yours is sweet! Love your estate sale finds!
WOW! Your vintage finds are fabulous. This is such a fun post to read and look at. Estate sales are the best....if our legs can take standing for a long time. Sometimes I have seen them have chairs for the bidders to sit in, but usually not in my case.
You really found some awesome stuff at that sale!
Great vintage finds! I often get that head shake from the hubby too.
I don't let it slow me down one little bit,lol.
I loooooove estate sales - great finds!
Great finds. You can never have too many typewriters can you? That metal pitcher caught my eye too. I used to have glasses like that and they kept the drinks soooo cold.
Great vintage goodies!! I am loving your aluminum pitcher. I remember my grandma having one with a set of glasses that she served iced tea in.
Blessings!

Wonderful finds! I'm on the hunt for a typewriter, love yours!
Happy VTT,

You really found some neat stuff. I love the old spools and game pieces. My son covered a bird house with old license plates - for the roof. Looks great. Happy VTT

I too love estates sales and any other sales when you can find fund things like this. I say keep collecting because it won't be long before everything we find will be made in CHINA. sigh! Love all of your wonderful treasures.
