I finally made it into the house and picked up a few things there too. The total for this pile was about $2:
My heart was pounding when I got into the car. Just as I was pulling away, I caught a glimpse of the FREE box. I found Christmas carol sheet music, and two vintage versions of Peter Rabbit. I especially like the one on the bottom. Someday, in the dark of the rainy and endless northwest winter, I will put these pages in vintage frames I have stashed in the garage, and I will be happy.

I like my booty cheap!
Will from Rita Deco's World gave me a heads up about a recent estate sale.

(Not unlike what's in store for my children!) First I scanned the tables. I paid $1 for each of the items in this photo:
Then there were boxes lined up along the driveway. Everything in those boxes was a dime:

In the free box! Even better!
I like those chicken (recipe?) cards. Very cute!
What fun finds you have! A good day out. I have one of those music looking thingies (don't know what it's called), got it at the local thrift store as a gag gift but then I set it in the bathroom with magazines in it and now I love it!
What could be better than a well-priced (aka cheap) estate sale!! What a fun post. And speaking of Peter Rabbit, we just watched the recent movie about Beatrix Potter's life; it was really interesting! Have a great day. Sandy/rhubarb reign
